Australia win final T20 against England by 5 wickets

Southampton: Australia survived a thrilling burst from Adil Rashid to win the final match in their Twenty20 series against England by five wickets and keep the number one ranking.

Rashid's 3-21, including a glorious googly that outfoxed Finch, almost turned the match England's way, but their attack was blunted once his allocation was used up, and the tourists stayed calm to get the job done.

It means Australia remain premiers in the International Cricket Council's T20 standings, albeit with England perched right behind them.
