Jofra Archer starred as world champions England staged a stunning fight back to beat Australia by 24 runs in the second one-day international at Old Trafford yesterday. Australia, cruising to a modest victory target of 232, were dismissed for 207 as England levelled this three-match series at 1-1.
 
England's decision to bat first at Old Trafford had appeared to backfire with the world champions limited to 231-9 and Australia reaching 143-2 with 20 overs left.
 
Australia was making the run chase look easy thanks to a 107-run stand for the third wicket between captain Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne. But the tourists then collapsed to 207 all out in 48.4 overs.
 
Australia was aiming to wrap up a series victory after beating England by 19 runs in the first ODI last Friday, also in Manchester.The series finale is at the same venue on Wednesday, when England will be hoping to avoid its first ODI series defeat at home since 2015.
