England looked set for a chase in excess of 200 as the tourists made another rapid start with captain Travis Head smashing 31 off just 14 balls.

Australia were cruising along at 119-2 in the 13th over before Fraser-McGurk's flashy innings came to an end when he was caught off the bowling of Liam Livingstone.

Just like in the opening game of the series, which Australia won by 28 runs, it was left to the English spin attacking to limit the damage.

Livingstone also took the wicket of Marcus Stoinis but was surprisingly given only three overs despite being the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-16.

But Josh Inglis' 42 off 26 balls put momentum back into the Aussie innings before Cameron Green and Aaron Hardie hit Sam Curran for 20 off the final over to post a total of 193/6.
