England's batting has been slammed as "poor" and "reckless" in the second ODI against Australia after they lost their last seven wickets for just 52 runs and capitulated to a 72 run defeat.
The win sealed a 2-0 series victory for Australia, who posted 280-8 in their innings with Steve Smith top scoring with 94 and Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh also making half-centuries.
In response, England lost three early wickets in the powerplay, with Mitchell Starc removing both Jason Roy and Dawid Malan in the opening over for ducks. However, James Vince and Sam Billings shared an excellent 122 run partnership to rebuild the innings, with both players passing fifty.
