Italy 22-3 (4 Ovs) vs England 202-7 | SCORECARD

Jofra Archer returns for his second over. Harry Manenti flicks one away for a single. Justin Mosca is beaten by pace next ball but then finds his rhythm -- driving into the gap for four. He follows it up with another boundary, shifting some pressure back onto England. 9 runs come from the over. After three overs, Italy are 18/2.

Jamie Overton continues. Manenti starts aggressively, slamming a boundary with Salt having no chance to cut it off. But Overton responds well -- a swing and miss follows. 

Wicket! Manenti edges one high behind the stumps. Jos Buttler tracks it brilliantly and completes a superb catch despite the height and pressure. Manenti departs for 12 off 11 balls. Four runs and a wicket come from the over. 

After four overs, Italy are 22/3. They now need 181 runs from 96 balls.
