England win by 24 runs
England pulled off impressive gain. Australia slipped from 144-2 to 207 all out. England gain by 24 runs to level series 1-1.

Universe champions England claimed an astonishing 24-run success as Australia crumbled found in the second one-day international at Old Trafford, reports BBC.

Chasing 232 to win the series, Australia had been cruising at 144-2 before Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer induced a collapse of several wickets for three runs in 21 balls.

A reeling Australia misplaced their final eight wickets for 63 runs as they were bowled away for 207, despite a valiant last-wicket partnership of 31 between Alex Carey and Josh Hazlewood.

England earlier collapsed to 149-8, with leg-spinner Adam Zampa acquiring 3-36 before Adil Rashid and Tom Curran pushed them to 231-9.

Captain Eoin Morgan said he wanted his side to discover how to "get ugly" and you will be happy with how they dragged themselves back to the game.

Archer was seeing that hostile seeing that he has been for England, disrupting the starting batsmen initial up before returning to the strike with Woakes and triggering a good collapse.

As good as England were, this is an nearly unbelievable collapse from Australia, who gifted wickets with poor shots, no feet motion and a generally bewildered air.

England now have an opportunity to keep their five-year unbeaten run in house one-day series in the ultimate meet of the series at the same surface on Wednesday.
A remarkable collapse

When Archer and Woakes returned to the strike, with Marnus Labuschagne and Aaron Finch sharing a 107-run stand, it felt just like the game was over.

However, the two stifled the run-rate before Woakes trapped Labuschagne lbw, and six balls later on Mitchell Marsh cut Archer to his stumps.

When captain Finch, who had led just how with 73, was bowled by Woakes within the next more than, England upped their intensity, and it paid off just as Glenn Maxwell played a wild slog and was bowled.

It had been the speed with that your collapse happened that was as a result surprising, with Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc falling to consecutive Sam Curran deliveries seeing as the left-armer used all his variants.

Australia had this meet of their grasp and, for the next time upon this tour, they let it slip.

Australia created their own downfall, due to the partnership between Finch and Labuschagne had highlighted England's battle to take middle-order wickets - an art that Liam Plunkett led just how in for so long.

Rashid could not find the appropriate length on a pitch that offered some change, as the Curran brothers, replacing Moeen Ali and Mark Timber, could not make the breakthrough.

Finch and Labuschagne countered a good tricky pitch with aggression and relaxed running, although Finch was first dropped in 58 by Rashid found in his follow-through.

But Australia twice had the opportunity to close this match out, the first approaching with the ball if they failed to tidy up England's tail, and secondly because they cruised at night halfway stage with the bat.

They'll hope that Steve Smith, who again missed this match as a precaution carrying out a blow to the head in the nets on Friday, will go back to offer some stability to a slightly fragile line-up.

Rashid and Curran extra batsmen's blushes

This was a definately not vintage performance with the bat by England, who were suffocated by Australia's bowlers.

Root epitomised the struggles. He was hit 3 x by the pace bowlers - at one level requiring treatment after a blow to the knee from Starc - and in his desperation to rotate the hit, ran out Jason Roy via a superb toss from Marcus Stoinis at covers.

Despite seeking uncomfortable, Root and Morgan guided England to 90-2, Root just starting to slash loose with back-to-back again boundaries before he edged Zampa to slip in his initially over.

With the run-price going nowhere, wickets fell on a regular basis. Jos Buttler was trapped lbw by Pat Cummins, Morgan fell in related trend to Zampa, Sam Billings chopped the leg-spinner on to his stumps and Sam Curran edged Starc behind.

Chris Woakes played a useful cameo but it was Rashid and Tom Curran who helped England end strongly.

The ultimate six overs went for 67 runs, including 18 off the otherwise excellent Cummins. Rashid slapped Cummins over deep mid-wicket for just the next six of England's innings as the two shared a 72-run stand.

Australia were plainly frustrated as they left the discipline, but that was nothing compared to how they will feel following the batting performance that was to check out.
