England managed to pull-out yet another miraculous turnaround as they defeated Australia by 23 runs in the second match of the England vs Australia 2020 ODI series. The hosts remain alive in the three-match series after their bowlers staged an unlikely comeback for the side in a low-scoring encounter at Old Trafford on Sunday. England decided to bat first after winning the toss but could only pile 231 runs with captain Eoin Morgan scoring 42 runs and Joe Root contributing with 39.

Adam Zampa continued his golden form with the ball as he scalped three wickets. Australia looked to be cruising after a 100-run partnership from Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne. Finch was looking set for a big score, but the England bowlers had different plans. Chris Woakes castled the Australian captain's stumps to send him back at 73, sparking a remarkable turnaround.
