Italy 47-3 (6 Ovs) vs England 202-7 | SCORECARD

Ben Manenti is the new batter at the crease. Jofra Archer comes on for his third over. Justin Mosca goes on the offensive -- cracking a boundary before defending the next two deliveries solidly. He then finds the fence again with another crisp stroke. Leaning into a controlled push to cover, Mosca finishes the over in style with yet another boundary. 12 runs come from it. After five overs, Italy are 34/3.

Change in bowling as Will Jacks is introduced. Ben Manenti wastes no time, welcoming him with back-to-back boundaries. A shot towards fine leg brings no run, but he rotates strike with a single next ball. Mosca defends watchfully before ending the over with a boundary of his own. Thirteen runs come from the over.

After six overs, Italy are 47/3. They now need 156 runs from 84 balls.
