30-8-13 ENGLAND
England v Australia, 1st T20, Ageas Bowl on 29-8-2013
Aron Finch's
remarkable 156, the
highest score in a Twenty20 international, was the cornerstone of Australia's
39-run win in the first T20 against England at Southampton on Thursday 29-8-13. The 26-year-old Victoria opener, who didn't feature in the preceding 3-0 Ashes Test series loss to England, struck a record 14 sixes in his 63-ball innings as Australia made 248 for six -- the second-highest T20 international team score .
England responded with their own second-best Twenty20 score, 209 for six, but even Joe Root's unbeaten 90 failed to give them any real hope of victory.
