4,4,6,6,6,4 - Travis Head's Explosive Batting Against England Leaves Internet Awestruck. Watch

Travis Head made a valuable 59 and leg-spinner Adam Zampa took two cheap wickets as Australia beat England by 28 runs in the first T20 international at Southampton on Wednesday. Opening batsman Head's quickfire innings was the cornerstone of Australia's seemingly below-par 179 all out.

"It was a nice start," said player-of-the-match Head at the presentation ceremony, adding: "For me it was about using the pace well which I think I did."
