Mitchell Starc knocked off the top and tail either side of Adam Zampa twirling through the middle, bowling out England 72 runs short of Australia’s 280 for eight at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday night, as the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the one-day international series.
James Vince and Sam Billings led a recovery from 34 for three and eventually got back in the hunt with an excellent partnership worth 122, needing a further 124 at less than a run a ball. But when Vince fell for 60 and Billings for 71, the chase fell away in a sequence of seven for 52.
