Jos Buttler and Alex Hales shone before England held their nerve against an under-strength Australia to win by eight runs and draw first blood in this three-match T20 series.
Buttler marked his return from a calf injury with a sparkling 68 from 32 balls in a 132-run opening stand alongside Hales, who got the nod ahead of Phil Salt and top-scored with 84 off 51 deliveries.
