Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second T20 international cricket match between Australia and Pakistan. The match at the Sydney Cricket Ground begins at 7pm local time (08:00 GMT). The hosts won the rain-shortened series opener in Brisbane on Thursday.

Hello world! A rare over-by-over report for me tonight (be kind) as England look to win this five-match T20 series at the earliest available opportunity. That would be a welcome return to form for Jos Buttler and co after the ODI series defeat here in the West Indies.

England moved into an unassailable 3-0 lead in their five-match T20 series against the West Indies with a nervy three-wicket win in St Lucia. Saqib Mahmood’s three for 17 took his tally to nine wickets in three T20s – eight in the powerplay – as to reduce the West Indies to 37 for five before they recovered to post 145 for eight.
