Denly prepares for England T20 game against Australia

FRESH from their Ashes success, England go head-to-head with Australia once again when the teams play the first of two Twenty20 matches at Old Trafford later today.

Kent“s Joe Denly (pictured), who top-scored for England in their win over Ireland at Stormont, is very much looking forward to taking on the Aussies: "I have played in the last three finals days for Kent, in front of big crowds and with pressure moments – so it stands me in good stead for international cricket. I“m really looking forward to it."

The game gets underway at 14.30. Best of luck to Joe and his England colleagues.
