England will take on Australia in the second ODI match at Old Trafford in Manchester today in the evening. Australia leads 1-0 in the series after 19 runs win on Friday. 

In the first match, both England and Australia fought very well but Australia emerged on top. Both the sides' top-order batsmen except Jonny Bairstow had poor outings. They will be hoping for a good come back in this match.

For Australia, the return of Steven Smith from injury is a confidence booster. As usual for Australia Warner, Finch and Smith have to step up so middle-order batsmen Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell who did well in the first match can finish innings on a high note. In the bowling Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa who took seven wickets between them were outstanding and the team will be hoping that Starc and Cummins too will come good today.

On the other hand, England's top-order batsmen Jason Roy and Joe Root who looked clueless against Hazlewood need to bat carefully against him especially in the first nine to ten overs. In the middle Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, and Sam Billings all have been doing well for some time. In the bowling Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Mark Wood all are among wickets and will be expecting for yet another good outing.
