England Level series


England defeated Australia by 27 runs in the second and final Twenty20 International to level the two-match series. Chasing 196, Australia could make 168 for nine as only opener David Warner batted well with a 42-ball 53 hitting three sixes and five fours.

Alex Hales fell just short again of becoming the first England batsman to score a Twenty20 international century as he made 94 from 61 balls with 11 fours and two sixes.

Pakistan-born leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed, wicket less on debut at Southampton, took his first international wickets, including two in the last over, to finish with three for 25.
