Australia imploded in their first international game since March at the Ageas Bowl, falling two runs short against England despite needed 39 from the final 36 balls with nine wickets remaining in their chase.
David Warner and Aaron Finch had put on 98 for the first wicket in the space of 11 overs to break the back of the chase, before Steven Smith flew out of the blocks at No. 3. But four wickets in the space of 14 legal deliveries gave England a foothold, as Australia went 5.4 overs without a boundary.
Marcus Stoinis hit the second ball of Tom Curran's final over for six to leave nine needed from four, but failed to get bat on the third and could only manage twos off the last three as Australia dramatically fell short.
