Liam Livingstone smashed a stunning 87 from 47 balls, powering England to a dramatic three-wicket victory over Australia at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens. The win leveled the T20 series at 1-1, setting up an exciting decider in Manchester.

Livingstone's second T20 half-century, celebrated in his 50th match for England, thrilled the crowd. Earlier, Australia set a target of 194, thanks to Jake Fraser-McGurk's maiden international fifty. Captain Phil Salt's early exploits and Sean Abbott's two quick wickets made for a packed game.

A remarkable partnership between Livingstone and Jacob Bethell, who scored an impressive 44 from 24 balls, steadied England. Despite Livingstone being bowled with just one run needed, Adil Rashid sealed the victory. The win matched the highest successful T20 run chase at Sophia Gardens, canceling Wednesday's defeat.
