Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Alan Gardner

6.15pm: Right, that's a wrap for tonight. Gnasher's report is in and we'll have more to come before the series moves on to Chester-le-Street, where Australia will be eyeing an unassailable lead. As things stand, England's latest reboot is taking a bit of a shoeing. Anyway, thanks from myself, Miller and Rajith. Join us again for more on Tuesday. Bye!

6.08pm: Presentations time, starting with Alex Carey as Player of the Match: "Quiet winter, nice to spend some time with the family. Earned some brownie points, been a busy schedule so to have time with family is crucial. Pretty cold in pre-season back home, spent some time indoors. [Crowd reception] I love it here, expected that welcome. [Tenth wicket] Hazlewood hanging around at the end did a fantastic job. The big quicks were great. Hardie did a job with the bat and took a couple of wickets. Nice to have an opportunity in this side, it's great fun."

England captain Harry Brook: "We bowled nicely, to restrict them to 270, we did a good job. Obviously we lost early wickets in the powerplay and that killed us. Took positive options to put the pressure on but didn't come off. [Last-wicket stand] Set batter, want to get the No.11 on strike. Didn't think I could have done much different. [Batting] We're a young side, Rash is the highest run-scorer in ODI cricket for us. Inexperienced team playing against one of the best sides in the world - it's about patience, we're only two games in. [On to Durham for third game] So many positives we can take, we've done everything we've said we'd do, just hasn't gone our way."

Australia's Mitchell Marsh: "These days, 270 you always feel a bit shot, but we knew with Starc and Hazlewood, if we took early wickets we're a chance. You always want more [than 270]. Those little partnerships at the back end with the tailenders are vital. [Starc and Hazlewood] Just the experience, when you're defending a total like that. Ball was moving a bit, wickets put them under pressure. Aaron Hardie did a great job as well. Really pleasing win. Big thing is to focus on what we're doing. Playing England in England is a tough assignment. Really pleased with where we're at."

6.02pm: Another pretty comprehensive victory for Australia, who go 2-0 up with three to play in the series. England seemed to be on top, reducing Australia to 221 for 9; but Alex Carey led them up to 270 and that proved more than enough as the chase spluttered throughout. At 65 for 5, the result seemed a formality, and although Jamie Smith made 49 and there was some resistance from the tail, the margin was more comfortable than the scorecard suggests. Australia extend their winning sequence to 14 consecutive ODIs, while England's new-look side are still struggling to find their feet

Starc to Stone, OUT, periscoped to slip, and that is that! Stone was looking to duck but kept his hands up, a big deflection off the back of the bat and it looped high towards Smith, who backpedalled and took the catch safely to finish this game, Australia winning by 68 runs

Olly Stone is last man in

"Lots of negativity: required run rate very manageable." But they are short of one vital resource, Simon

Maxwell to Rashid, OUT, dotted on the stumps and Rashid misses with a sweep! Given on field but he'll use the review available. He was looking to paddle it off his front pad but played right over the top of the ball. Only needs to be clipping... and in fact it was hitting middle stump, says Hawk-Eye! So Rashid departs and Australia are almost home here
