• Australia win second T20 in Canberra by six runs (DLS)
• Knight on charge for England as time runs out in deluge

Australia have won the Ashes outright after sealing victory in the second Twenty20 international in Canberra on Thursday in a controversial finish as England fought to complete a tight rain-affected run chase. The hosts won by six runs under the DLS method and are now 10-0 up on points.

There remains the prospect of a series whitewash, which Australia’s stand-in captain, Tahlia McGrath, said was now the team’s goal: “Job not done. We’ve been hungry for a while.”
