Sam Curran drew first blood Down Under by removing Australia's biggest obstruction to an England win in the final over of their first T20.
Curran had 16 to defend against a clean striking Matthew Wade and managed to concede just four before the Aussie holed out to Ben Stokes in the deep on the way to an eight run win. It meant any controversy over Wade's obstruction of Mark Wood's attempt to take a caught and bowled earlier by sticking out his arm and getting in his way was negated.
England skipper Jos Buttler decided not to pursue an appeal at the time, although had it been a World Cup semi-final rather than a warm up he might not have been so generous. Buttler had a great game, using his bowlers to good effect after he had been brilliant with the bat as part of a 208 run total.
