Birthday boy Stuart Broad took four wickets as England beat Australia to go 2-0 up in their five match one-day series against the world champions on Thursday.
England, chasing 240, were in trouble at 109 for 3. But Eoin Morgan, who’d rescued England from the depths of 97 for four with an unbeaten century, in their series-opening win, made an accomplished 52.
He put on 83 for the fourth wicket with Paul Collingwood which led England to victory with 24 balls to spare. —AFP
