Australia thrash England in 2nd ODI

Alex Carey sparked an Australia recovery as they thrashed England by 68 runs in the second one-day international at Headingley on Saturday to go 2-0 up in a five-match series.

World champions Australia were in trouble at 221-9 after losing the toss.

But Carey made a dashing 74, the wicketkeeper dominating a last wicket stand of 49 with Josh Hazlewood that took Australia to 270 all out following captain Mitchell Marsh's 60 up the order.

That proved more than enough as a new-look England side, who collapsed to 65-5, were dismissed for 202 with nearly 10 overs remaining after none of their batsmen made a fifty.

This was Australia's 14th consecutive ODI win, with only the Australia 2003 World Cup-winning side led by Ricky Ponting enjoying a longer unbeaten run at this level of 21 straight victories.
