Tom Banton and Eoin Morgan failed to leave a mark as they were dismissed after scoring two and seven runs respectively.However, Buttler continued his stunning form and went on to score his half-century.

Jofra Archer had bowled the first over and only conceding one run.In the second over, Mark Wood dismissed Alex Carey (2). The skipper Aaron Finch was then joined by Steve Smith but their partnership also did not last long as the latter was run out after scoring 10 runs.Marcus Stoinis then came to bat and provided some momentum to the team along with Finch. Both formed a 49-run partnership before Chris Jordan bowled Finch (40).In the 13th over, Adil Rashid dismissed Stoinis (35), reducing Australia to 89/5. Glenn Maxwell and Ashton Agar then took the field and added 43 runs to the board before the former was caught behind off Jordan's delivery.In the last over, Pat Cummins smashed a six and a four to Archer, helping Australia to reach a total of 157 runs.The third and final T20I between both teams will be played on September 8.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
