England has defeated Australia by two runs in their first match of international Twenty20 series after pulling off a remarkable fightback.

Chasing 163, Australia were cruising to victory needing just 39 from 38 balls with nine wickets remaining.

But the wicket of Steve Smith, one of two wickets to fall in Adil Rashid's final over, sparked a collapse of 4-9 in 14 deliveries.

The second match between the two is on Monday beginning at 1.15 am.
