England grabbed yet another victory from Australia in 2nd Odi

England grabbed yet another victory from Australia in 2nd Odi 

However, he received a lack of support from elsewhere, with David Warner (35) and Steve Smith (18) two of five men to fall during 24 overs of spin, as Adil Rashid (2-71), Ali (1-31) and Root (2-31) found purchase - Australia having chosen to omit their front-line spinner, Adam Zampa.

Finch shared an opening stand of 68 with Warner in 11.4 overs, while he then put on 85 with Mitchell Marsh (36) as Australia reached 209-3 in the 40th over before stumbling in the last 10, adding just 57 runs in that time.

Liam Plunkett had Finch caught at mid-on by Roy to bag his 100th ODI wicket - 13 years after making Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf his first - as the hosts lost three wickets for seven runs in two overs.

Wicketkeeper Alex Carey (27) impressed briefly on debut in place of the ill Tim Paine before he was run out courtesy of some fleet footwork from Woakes, the England seamer kicking the ball onto the stumps as Carey ran towards the keeper's end.

Bairstow (60) and Hales (57) broke the back of the chase after Jason Roy (2), who struck an England record 180 in the five-wicket win at the MCG on Sunday, chipped Mitchell Starc to short mid-wicket in the first over.

Bairstow and Hales both fell to Australia debutant Jhye Richardson, while Starc (4-59) made the tourists jittery with the wickets of Eoin Morgan (21), Jos Buttler (42) and Moeen Ali (1) as he cranked up his pace.

However, Joe Root (46no) and Chris Woakes (39no off 27) saw England home with 5.4 overs to spare - Woakes dominating a partnership of 47 and hitting the winning boundary as Morgan's men earned just their second victory in eight ODIs against Australia at the Gabba.

Aaron Finch (106 off 114) earlier completed back-to-back ODI centuries after his 107 on his home ground in Melbourne - it was the opener's 10th ton in the format and fifth against England in just 18 innings.
