After losing out to England 1-2 in the T20I leg of their tour, Australia replied with a cracker of a win in the opening match of the ODI series. The men from Down Under put up a formidable score of 294 and then their bowling unit proceeded to successfully deny England from what would have been the highest ODI run chase at Old Trafford.
With the first win successfully out of the way, the Aaron Finch-led side will now be hoping to seal the deal in the crucial second match on Sunday, September 13, while England will be giving it their all to level the series and take the fight to the finale.
While England will probably employ the same playing XI, they need to hone their batting to deal with another Aussie assault as potent as the last one.
Australia too are likely to keep their line-up unchanged, however, with Mitchell Starc's injury woes possibly keeping him out of the action, Kane Richardson could be brought in.
England have enjoyed quite an impressive run ever since the comeback from the global virus-induced lockdown but they no longer seem to have the upper hand, certainly not against Australia anyway. The second ODI will therefore be crucial and here's when and where you can follow all the action:
