The English open the scoring in the seventh minute after an excellent break from Tom Curry. Despite the English scrummaging, Australia get back into the game and force England into a lineout penalty. A penalty given in the ensuing scrum is converted by Farrell. The visitors are on top, 30-28.
Eddie Jones’ men need a win in Sydney to claim a second series win in Australia. The last time England won in Australia was in 2016, when they won the entire series 3-0. However, the first test was a loss for Eddie Jones’ side. In that series, England won the second test 17-25, but were beaten in the first test by Australia.
England’s bench has been strengthened, with Danny Care and Billy Vunipola returning from injury. The back row will be bolstered with the addition of Will Joseph, who has been elevated from the outside 23. Marcus Smith and Danny Care will also be in the side, while the open side will be anchored by Sam Underhill.

England won the T20 World Cup series with Australia, despite a slow start. Buttler and Hales scored entertaining centuries, while Morgan and Roy made significant contributions. The best bowlers were Moeen Ali and Rashid.
Mark Wood
Mark Wood, Australia vs England: Wood, the ‘Major’, has been one of the best fast bowlers in recent years, and he did not disappoint with his performance against the English. His 83 mph beamer caught the batsman in the CHIN. He immediately apologized to the batsman, but the incident did not affect his performance and he was rewarded with a wicket.
A speed bowler, Wood has played 25 Tests and 66 first-class matches. He is not as experienced as some of his teammates, but he has not shown any sign of slowing down. During Australia’s series against England, he bowled at a blistering pace and showed no sign of slowing down.
Wood was part of the England Test squad in March 2015. He was not in the team for the first Test against New Zealand due to rain, but he made his Test debut against Ireland in May 2015. He took three wickets in the first innings and two in the second, helping England win the match by 124 runs. Wood also made a useful 19 with the bat in the third Test.
Wood’s batting line-up is loaded with power hitters. He has already made two test half centuries in his career. He will be hoping to repeat his performance against Australia in the final match of the series. England also has a talented bowling attack, and the batting order is loaded with players who can score big. Moeen Ali made a brilliant ten off seven balls, while Chris Woakes scored 13 off five balls. In the end, England won the match with some great bowling and controversial decisions.
England’s innings was largely dominated by its batting line-up. Earlier, Australia had to bat first after losing the toss. England needed 20 overs to make a total of 208/6. However, Nathan Ellis took three wickets for Australia, while Marcus Stoinis managed just six for the hosts.
Liam Livingstone’s comeback
Liam Livingstone’s comeback in the Australia vs England T20 World Cup warm up match was an impressive one. The batsman, who has struggled to cement his place in the England squad, scored an impressive 103 off 43 balls against Pakistan in Trent Bridge in the first T20I. Livingstone smashed one four and two sixes and helped his team win with 26 balls to spare.
The middle order will have a big role to play if Livingstone is to make an impact on the World Cup. The former Australia player has been out with an ankle injury since late August. He has missed the Hundred tournament and the white-ball series against Australia in Canberra, but he has recovered enough to be considered for the final match against Pakistan. He is hopeful to make his comeback during this series, but isn’t planning on rushing his comeback.
Liam Livingstone’s comeback in the Australia vs England T20I series is a great way to mark the team’s progress and prepare them for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Livingstone has been a key part of England’s batting line-up since August, and his absence could prove troublesome for the team.
Despite Livingstone’s injury and his recovery time, England will need time to assess his fitness levels for the series. After all, the three-match series against Australia will be their final tune-up before the T20 World Cup. Having said that, England will be boosted by the presence of Ben Stokes. The former Australia captain will bring vast experience and leadership to the team.
Glenn Maxwell
While David Warner is suspended for the rest of the series due to ball-tampering, Glenn Maxwell has been recalled to the Australian Test squad. He is a regular player in Twenty20 cricket, but has also played Test cricket for Australia. His comeback into the Test squad comes at a crucial time. He has not played a Test match since 2015.
Maxwell is in the spotlight after an awful run of form, which has left some questioning his place in the Australian side. Australia have been beaten twice by England in the T20 format and have not looked good since. However, the recent defeat by England in Canberra has given them a wake-up call. In fact, Australia have reshuffled their squad, with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazelwood returning from injury. Adam Zampa has also been included in the side. Australia’s T20 side have added Adam Zampa to their side. Nevertheless, Glenn Maxwell is part of the same squad that lost to England in Perth.
England won the third T20 against Australia on Sunday, but the match was not without controversy. Dawid Malan scored a brilliant 82 off 49 balls and Sam Curran took three wickets for the hosts. This loss further highlighted the fragility of Australia’s batting line-up. Glenn Maxwell made just eight off 11 balls, continuing a recent run of low scores in the T20 format. He has scored 16 runs off 33 balls in his last six T20 internationals.
Maxwell recently returned to Australia for a limited overs series in India. In the first ODI, Maxwell made six runs. He then scored 26 runs in the second ODI. He was awarded Man of the Match for his innings in the third ODI. In the fourth ODI, Maxwell made 41 off 20 balls. Australia won the one-day series 4-1.
Chris Jordan
Australia beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets on Thursday, putting them level with England on four points from two games in Group One of the Super 12. Australia have several key players heading Down Under for this tournament ahead of the winter Ashes series. Chris Jordan has also played in the death overs. He feels that England need to adjust their bowling tactics.
Jordan was part of England’s T20 World Cup squad and played all three matches during their run to the final. He was expensive against South Africa, but took one-and-a-half wickets against Australia and Sri Lanka. He then took three wickets to help England win the series 2-1. Jordan also impressed in the death overs, taking a wicket in each of the final two matches.
Jordan made his first-class debut for Surrey when he was 18 years old. His progress was hindered by injury during the 2010 and 2012 seasons. After that, Jordan went on to play for Sussex. His form and performance continued to improve and he was selected for the one-day side after the Ashes. In early 2014, he was also selected for the ICC World T20. In March 2014, he was finally given his first Test cap.
Chris Jordan will make his comeback against England following his finger injury, making him the most likely replacement for Mark Wood and Reece Topley. The Australians have great depth in their batting order and could opt for a top-order lineup containing Buttler, Hales, Stokes, Brook, Jordan, and Woekes.
Chris Jordan is an experienced player who has a great chance of scoring a century. However, his four-day batting needs work, but he has a great work ethic.
