Commentator: Andrew Miller
11.12pm Artemis: "That's two smart innings from Maxwell in this tournament so far. A good 40 not out against NZ to prevent an embarrassing situation and now a brilliant century. Still to be dismissed after two games. That has to be mature enough for the Aussie selectors." 143 not out from 82 balls in the series ... he is in an exceptionally good place at the moment. Thanks for your comments, Australia are bossing this tournament, but can England get their revenge on Saturday? They might need to at this rate...
161 is also the lowest team total in which a player has scored a century, which is a notable stat... beating Scotland and Richie Berrington by one run!
11.03pm Well, that was fun. What a display from Maxwell. Without him, it could conceivably have been close, but with him on top form, it was a rout. He picked the slower balls like a bowl of cherries, and for the first time in T20I history, a player has made a hundred and claimed three wickets in the same match. Let's give David Willey the Man of the Match for the bantz.
Dhaval : "Surely Kings XI owners might have lost a bunch of hair as they might have pulled it hard after watching the Big Show on display today. What a player!! "
Matt Cowell: "What do ya say now Mr SPD Smith?! The Big Show has made more runs in one innings that you made in the whole ODI 5 match series!" But is he training smart?

Wood to Maxwell, SIX, swung mightily over the leg side, and it plops over the rope for the century! Stunning batting from the Big Show who, frankly, was the only show in town today.

Wood to Maxwell, no run, banged in short, battered hard into the covers, but can't beat the field

Wood to Carey, 1 run, on the back foot, a tucked single to the leg side ... and Maxwell is on strike with the scores level!

Curran to Maxwell, 2 runs, low full toss, crunched up and over the covers, just out of the reach of the back-pedalling fielder, and they come back for two ... He's probably blown his hundred now!

Curran to Maxwell, FOUR, clears the front dog, slams the bat through the line, another slower ball is dispatched over the covers...

Curran to Maxwell, 2 runs, tucked to leg, and a frantic sprint to make it back for two, keeping the strike and hustling into the 90s ... it's On!
