England vs Australia 2nd ODI Highlights: Australia beat England by 68 runs

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, Good length again, around off, coming in, Bethell punches it towards cover. Well, it is another message from the third umpire. Hazlewood has overstepped again and a NO BALL is signalled. Free Hit time!

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, On a good length, outside off, nipping away slightly, Jacob Bethell feels for it but misses.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, Full and just around off, watchfully defended.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, Outside off, on a length, Smith slashes but misses.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, A length ball, down the leg side, Jamie Smith looks to tuck but misses. The ball goes behind square on the leg side and with the fielders pretty deep, Smith calls for the second and gets it.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, FOUR! Well, a critic might call it lazy from Starc but you can excuse fast bowlers for not giving their 100 percent on the field. A length ball, around off, Smith goes for the pull and gets it high off the bat. The shot takes more height than distance but because the field is up, it clears Mitchell Starc at mid on. Starc simply trots after it but after the ball lands, he suddenly feels he can stop it. Starts to put in the hard yards, then a weak slide, tries to pull the ball back and hits the ropes. The umpire checks the effort multiple times whether Starc has touched the ball and rope at the same time but in the final replay, it is seen that Starc actually pulled the ball back after it hit the ropes.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, A slower ball, on a length, outside off, Jamie Smith looks to punch but drags it back on. Nearly onto the stumps, but the pads come in the way.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, Fuller, outside off, pushed straight to cover.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, Outside off, punched towards cover.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, Around off, watchfully blocked out.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! Fine shot again. England persist with the counter-attack. Hazlewood bowls short and Jacob Bethell is quick to pounce on it. Pulls it to the right of Glenn Maxwell at deep square leg. Maxwell puts in a bizarre chase. He first starts to run, then gives it up. Suddenly, he realizes that the ball is actually not coming that quickly and puts in a new sprint. In the end, that late decision costs him as he has to dive and misses the ball. England now need 196 from 235 balls.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, Full and just outside off, Bethell pushes at it but misses.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! That's a cracking shot. This lad can bat, as was witnessed in that second T20I. Not a bad ball at all, on a length from Hazlewood, on middle, Jacob Bethell arches back and punches it to the right of point for a stunning boundary.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, Around off, pushed towards point.

Josh Hazlewood to Jamie Smith, A short ball, outside off, pace taken off, Jamie Smith comes down the track and looks to pull but is beaten for pace. Miscues the pull to mid on.

Marsh going for the kill here.

Josh Hazlewood to Jamie Smith, On a good length, around off, solidly defended. The third umpire informs that Hazlewood has overstepped and it is signalled a NO BALL.

Aaron Hardie to Jacob Bethell, Full and at the stumps, pushed to the on side. A sensational DOUBLE-WICKET MAIDEN from Hardie. 2-1-9-2 so far are his figures.

Aaron Hardie to Jacob Bethell, Full and outside off, angling away, Jacob Bethell feels for it, aiming to drive but misses.

Aaron Hardie to Jacob Bethell, Around off, punched to the off side. Nothing on the hattrick ball.

Jacob Bethell walks in at number 7, replacing Liam Livingstone, to face the hattrick ball.

Liam Livingstone walks in at number 6, replacing Ben Duckett.

Aaron Hardie to Liam Livingstone, OUT! CAUGHT DOWN THE LEG SIDE! Two in two for Hardie. Well, we saw this in the first innings as well, not-so-good deliveries getting wickets. Hardie gives a welcome gift to Liam Livingstone, a half volley on the pads. Livingstone looks to flick and does so, but can only get it fine! The keeper, Alex Carey, dives to his left and pouches another screamer, with his left glove! Livingstone does not want to go, so he waits. The umpire raises his finger and now he has to go for a golden duck!

Aaron Hardie to Ben Duckett, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! That's an absolute screamer. A length ball, around off, Duckett looks to swing this out of the park. But the ball holds onto the pitch for a while and arrives late. Duckett is already through his shot and his bottom hand comes off the handle. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and flies wide of the bowler but Aaron Hardie, moving in that direction in his followthrough, sticks out his left hand and takes an absolute blinder. Duckett waits for a check from the umpire whether Hardie collected it cleanly and on getting the affirmative, turns back. Big wicket for Australia as the in-form Duckett departs for 32 (25). England are 65/4 and need another 206 from 242 balls.

Aaron Hardie to Ben Duckett, A short ball, outside off, Ben Duckett goes for the pull but the ball does not come onto the bat as quickly as he would have liked. Mistimes the pull to wide mid on. In fact it looks like Australia believe that Duckett cannot hit down the ground. Hence, there is no conventional mid on or mid off. Both are pretty wide, almost at mid-wicket and cover respectively.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, Full, around off, flicked straight to mid on. 10 from the over, Starc's figures read 5-0-35-2.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, Around off, watchfully defended.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, FOUR MORE! Starc goes for the glory ball, aiming to tail it back into Smith from off. But he overcooks it and bowls it on middle. As a result, Jamie Smith flicks it to the right of mid on for consecutive boundaries. 206 more needed from 248 balls.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, FOUR! LOVELY! This guy has taken the English summer by storm and Australia are getting a fresh taste of him. Overpitched, around middle, swinging in, Jamie Smith shows the full face of the bat and drives it back past the bowler, through mid on.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, Around off, pushed into the off side.

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, WIDE. Harsh decision on the bowler but nothing that Australia can do about it. On a length, down the leg side, Jamie Smith looks to flick but misses. There is a noise as the ball goes past and Starc appeals for the catch but not with confidence. Replay shows that the ball clipped the pad. Now, if this had been the Indian T20 League, Australia could have reviewed against the wide call. But here, if they had reviewed, the wide call might have been overturned, but they would have definitely lost a review as it would have been considered as one for the catch.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, On a length, down the leg side, Ben Duckett flicks it towards fine leg for a single.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, On a good length, around off, well defended.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, FOUR! That is a solid shot. If there were doubts as to whether England will play watchfully from here on, trying to conserve wickets, the answer is NO. Brendon McCullum always advocates to play on the front foot and that is what we will see. Irrespective of the wickets, the shots will come. On a length, outside off, Jamie Smith leans and threads it to the left of Travis Head at mid off, who dives prematurely and misses the ball. Nice way to get off the mark. England need another 216 from 253 balls.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, On a good length, just outside off, watchfully defended.

Aaron Hardie to Ben Duckett, Down the leg side, Duckett helps it towards fine leg for a single.

Aaron Hardie to Ben Duckett, Around off, angling away, punched straight to cover.

Aaron Hardie to Ben Duckett, FOUR! 50 UP FOR ENGLAND! The wickets keep falling but the runs keep coming. Hardie starts off with a length ball, around middle, Ben Duckett calmly whips it through mid-wicket.

Jamie Smith walks in at number 5, replacing his skipper, Harry Brook. Marsh brings about a change as well, getting Aaron Hardie to replace Josh Hazlewood.

Mitchell Starc to Harry Brook, OUT! LBW! That is a Starc special. Ashes fans would be remembering how he cleaned up Ollie Pope at Lord's in 2023. This is more or less of that quality. A killer inswinging yorker, around middle, Harry Brook looks to dig it out but the ball swings back in pretty late and that defeats him. Gets hit on the pads and Joel Wilson does not take long to raise his finger. Brook has a chat with Duckett and signals for the review. The replay seems to suggest that Brook might have hit it but UltraEdge detects a flat line when the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracker then projects the ball to be crashing into leg stump, meaning England lose both, their skipper and a review. 4 and out for Brook, England are 46/3 and need another 225 from 258 balls.

Mitchell Starc to Harry Brook, Around off, pushed back to the bowler.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, FOUR! 14 from the over! Hmmm... from the machine. On a length, a bit too straight, Ben Duckett clips it off the pads through square leg. 229 more needed from 264 balls.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, Comes down the track this time and mistimes the drive to cover.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, Around off, angling away, Ben looks to dab it towards deep third but misses.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, SIX! No doubts about this one! A length ball, around middle, Duckett whips this over mid-wicket!

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Cheeky! Well, if there is a well-oiled machine in front of you, you need to figure out a way of countering the machine. Duckett does just that. He relies on Hazlewood being consistent. Expects a ball in line of the stumps, so pre-meditates the scoop. Gets across, finds Hazlewood satisfying the job requirements and picks it off the stumps, over the keeper. The ball nearly goes all the way and the umpire signals a four after confirming with his partner upstairs.
