Australia vs England 2018, 2nd ODI - Hits and misses

Australia v England - Game 2

Hit: Jonny Bairstow

Australia v England - Game 2

Needing 271 to win in Brisbane, England got off to a bad start with the centurion of the first ODI, Jason Roy was dismissed in the first over for 2 by Mitchell Starc.

His fellow opener Jonny Bairstow, who scored 60 off 56, then stepped up and stitched a 117-run partnership with Alex Hales (57) to consolidate England's position.

Both Hales and Bairstow smashed Australian bowlers for boundaries and went on to complete their half-centuries.

The platform set by Bairstow and Hales proved vital for England as Joe Root and Chris Woakes led the tourists to a comprehensive 4-wicket win with 34 balls remaining.
