Hello and welcome to live coverage of the second T20 international between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney. The Brisbane weather turned the first game turned into a Seven7, won handsomely by Australia, but happily today’s forecast is much better so we should get a full game. Another win would give Australia the series with a match to spare.

The first T20I was notable for Glenn Maxwell’s hitting and a devastating new-ball burst from Xavier Bartlett (3 for 12) and Nathan Ellis (3 for 9). Bartlett has made an eye-catching start to his international career, taking 17 wickets at 9.23 across both white-ball codes. Australia will soon need a new pace attack across all three formats; Bartlett, Ellis and Spencer Johnson will be hoping to impress again tonight.

The match starts at 7pm AEDT.
