Buttler was dismissed by Pat Cummins while Zampa got the crucial breakthrough of Morgan. Zampa continued to pile on the misery on English batsmen and he got yet another scalp to his name as he cleans bowled Sam Billings (8) in the 37th over, reducing the hosts to 140/6.In the final overs, Tom Curran and Adil Rashid added some precious runs for the hosts to take the total past the 230-run mark.
