Summary
England beat Australia by one wicket in the first of two Twenty20 internationals Wednesday, Chris Woakes scoring the winning run off the last ball of a dramatic match. With the scores level at 157 runs each, Woakes smacked the ball over mid-wicket to extend the world champions' winning run in the shortest form of the game to eight matches. Australia's Shane Watson took four for 15, including two in two balls, and made 59 off 31 deliveries including three successive sixes and 26 in total off Graeme Swann's first over. Watson bowled Swann for his fourth wicket off the first ball of the last over of the match with England still needing four runs from five balls, setting up the dramatic finale.
