Australia clinched a 68-run win over England in the second ODI at Headingley, driven by Alex Carey's pivotal knock of 74 runs. Despite early troubles, Carey's last-wicket stand with Josh Hazlewood propelled Australia to a total of 270.

It was largely boundary or bust as Australia took just seven singles in the first powerplay, still racking up 59 for one. Travis Head, fresh from his match-winning 154 in Nottingham, and new opening partner Matthew Short were lethal with anything in their arc but they were both dismissed for 29.

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.
