Alex Hales

The duo of Alex Hales and Jos Buttler smashed a brilliant century partnership in the 1st T2oI against Australia in Perth.

Stoinis bowled the ball in the slot, and Hales was too good to miss such gifts. Australian all-rounder Alex Hales was bowling the 8th ball of the over, and Alex Hales was in no mood of stopping. The audience in Perth is getting value for their money in the 1st T20I between Australia and England.

Buttler hit the ground running against Australia on his return from a calf injury.

Half-centuries from Jos Buttler and Alex Hales helped England put a second-string Australia bowling attack to the sword in the first T20 at a cloudy Perth.

It leaves Australia, who also elected to leave out Steve Smith, with a challenging target to draw first blood in this series. However, Nathan Ellis offered his captain Aaron Finch some control, using subtle changes of pace to finish with terrific figures of three for 20 to drag England back in the second half of their innings. With these three fixtures serving as the prelude to the T20 World Cup later this month, Hales has laid down a marker as his efforts ushered England to an imposing 208 for six after they lost the toss.
