Alex Carey extends Australia's ODI winning streak, as England's batters fall short at Headingley.
Australia was dismissed with 32 balls still to go as Alex Carey top-scored. Australia 's pace attack has delivered again as the tourists survived a modest batting performance to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series in England .
There was no way back from that, despite Jamie Smith's 49, and Australia cantered to its 14th successive ODI win, a run that has been exceeded only by another Australian side, Ricky Ponting's World Cup winners of 2003, who achieved 21 on the run. It was Australia's first ODI win at Headingley since the famous 1999 World Cup victory over South Africa when Steve Waugh made a century after being dropped early on by Herschelle Gibbs.
Travis Head, the matchwinner at Trent Bridge with an unbeaten 154, had begun where he left off, smashing two sixes, but was caught at deep square leg for 29. He looked comfortable, smiting three sixes, and with Marnus Labuschagne rebuilt the innings. However, Jacob Bethell dismissed both and caught Glenn Maxwell on the ropes and Australia were 6 for 161 having lost 3 for 16.
