England vs Australia 2nd ODI 2020 Highlights: Pacers Guide Hosts to Series-Levelling Win

Absolutely sensational stuff from England as they came out of nowhere to win the game by 24 runs. Their top-order got rattled after electing to bat first. However, they managed to post 231/9 thanks to some brilliant hitting by Adil Rashid and Tom Curran. Chasing a mediocre-looking target, Australia looked set to cross the line while batting at 144/2. However, Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer bamboozled Aussies' middle-order and turned the game on its seat. Australia couldn't recover from the blow and lost the match by 24 runs. With this, the three-match series has been levelled 1-1 with the deciding set to take place on September 16 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Well, that's it from this coverage.

England Win By 24 Runs! Adil Rashid gets the final wicket as his dismissed Australia’s last-hope Alex Carey.  In order to go for a big hit, the southpaw steps out but misses the ball and Jos Buttler does the rest behind the stumps. Terrific stuff from England as they have snatched another victory from the jaws of defeat. Carey st Buttler b Adil Rashid 36(41)

Sam Curran comes out to bowl the 48th over. The left-arm pacer bowls some good deliveries but Alex Carey manages to find a boundary. However, will it be enough?  27 needed off the last two overs. An exciting finish is set on the cards.

That was almost game over for Australia as Alex Carey fails to a connect a reverse hit but Tom Curran couldn't hold onto the catch at the short third-man region. Meanwhile, Alex Carey gets a boundary after ages. 10 from Adil Rashid's over but the game is still far away from the visitors. 37 needed off 18.

Singles will not do the job for Australia but they are not getting anything more than that at the moment. The required run rate is approaching 12 runs per over. Not sure if the batting side have a plan or not. Only four runs from Sam Curran's over.  Visitors need 47 runs from 24 balls. 

Josh Hazlewood is the last man in for Australia. The pacer bowled brilliantly tonight, but he now faces a different challenge. Everything depends upon Alex Carey, who hasn't looked a lot comfortable in the wicket. Meanwhile, the required run rate has gone over ten runs per over.  Australia need 51 from 30 deliveries. 

OUT! This was set on the cards. Adam Zampa played majority of the deliveries after coming onto the crease despite having Alex Carey at the other hand.  Frustrated from the dot deliveries, Zampa goes for a big shot and Jofra Archer takes an easy catch at mid off. Sam Curran gets his third wicket. Zampa c Jofra Archer b Sam Curran 2(19)

Another quiet over as the game is gradually slipping away from Australia's grasp. Alex Carey has to handle the mantle of the run scoring at the required rate has gone over need. Just three runs from this over. The Men in Yellow need 57 from the last 42 balls. 

Sam Curran continues to keep things tight from his end. The run rate is going upwards continuously and Alex Carey needs to put the foot on the accelerator to keep his side in the hunt. However, he hasn't got a lot of strike in the last couple of overs. Three from this over as well. Australia need 60 from the last eight overs. 

Alex Carey is Australia's only hope at the moment and he needs to up the ante with the required run rate going up. Adam Zampa is the new man in for the visitors. He can bat a bit but delivering in such pressure will take some beating. Only three runs from the 41st over. Australia need 63 from 54 balls. 

OUT! One follows another as Mitchell Starc goes for a golden duck. The southpaw edges his first ball and Jos Buttler takes a good catch behind the stumps. Could this be the match-defining over? Australia are in all sorts of trouble now. Starc c Buttler b Sam Curran 0(1)

OUT! Another Big blow for Australia as Pat Cummins departs after a promising start. Sam Curran shatters his stumps and England are well placed on the driver's seat. They are just three wickets away from an emphatic victory. This game is going away from Australia's grasp. Starc c Buttler b Sam Curran 0(1)

Pat Cummins and Alex Carey are the two batsmen on the crease and they face an uphill task. Fortunately for Australia, Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer have completed their respective quota of 10 overs. However,  the required run rate is constantly going upwards and they also can't afford to lose any more wickets. 

OUT! Stumps have been shattered again as Glenn Maxwell walks back to the pavilion. This match has turned on its head. Chris Woakes gets his third wicket as he bamboozles Maxwell with a sensation inswinger. England are on the driver's seat at the moment. Australia are six down now. 

OUT! Sensational stuff from Chris Woakes and England. Aaron Finch departs after scoring a well-compiled half-century.  He gets undone by an in-swinger as the ball hits the timber.  Three wickets in the span of eight deliveries. This game is not going anywhere. Finch b Woakes 73(105)

OUT! Another one bites the dust and its Mitchell Marsh who goes back to the pavilion. Just when the result of the game was looking inevitable, Australia lose two quick wickets. Jofra Archer gets his third scalp of the night as Marsh chops the ball onto the stumps. Mitchell Marsh b Jofra Archer 1(6)

OUT! England get a wicket after ages as Chris Woakes dismisses Marnus Labuschagne. Eoin Morgan immediately went upstairs after the on-field umpire denied their LBW appeal. However, the hawkeye showed that the ball is clearly hitting the middle stumps. Is this an opening for England. Labuschagne lbw b Woakes 48(59)

England bowlers have looked completely ineffective in the last few overs as Australia have tightened their grip over the game. Aaron Finch has already crossed the 50-run mark while Marnus Labuschagne is also approaching his half-century. The home side is desperate for a wicket which doesn't look coming anytime soon. Having said this, cricket is a game of uncertainty. Hence, the Men in Yellow shouldn't be complacent.

Australia have tighten their grip over the match as they cross the 100-run mark in the 21st first. Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne have batted brilliantly after two early blows, and the result of the game is looking inevitable at the moment. Only wickets can bring the Three Lions back in the hunt.

Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne have rescued Australia after two major blows. The two batsmen have settled their feet in the crease and will look to convert the start into a match-winning partnership. The scoring rate has also gone up in the last few overs and England need to take some quick wickets to bring their side back in the hunt.
