England
England have shown a great character playing without Jos Buttler to bounce back from 0-2 down and level the series. In a rain shortened game at Lord’s, England posted 312 in 39 overs on the back of stand-in skipper Harry Brook’s 87 off 58 and Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 62 off 27. Matthew Potts then picked 4 for 38 in eight overs while Brydon Carse snared 3 for 36. Jofra Archer also bagged two crucial wickets as they bowled out the visitors for just 124.
Australia

In the previous game, their bowling unit was largely ineffective in helpful conditions with the exception of Josh Hazlewood, who picked 1 for 40 in eight overs. Chasing a big target, Australia had a flying start with the openers adding 68 runs in 8.3 overs but they then suffered a huge collapse, losing all 10 wickets for 58.
