Australia vs England: Tom Banton, Gus Atkinson and Sonny Baker impress as tourists level series
On Sunday, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and sent England in to bat at Adelaide Oval in the second one-day international match of the three-game series.
Two days after being humbled for 131 in Perth on Friday, England sought redemption on a flat Adelaide wicket following their seven-wicket defeat in the series opener.
Tom Banton scored a brilliant 121 off 99 balls, anchoring the innings alongside Jordan Cox and Will Jacks , lifting England to 355-6—their highest ODI total in Australia.
England's 355-6 total sets a sizable chase for Australia under lights at Adelaide Oval, with a final over plundered for 18 runs significantly bolstering the visitors' score.
As the second match of the three-game series, both teams made one lineup change; Riley Meredith replaced Mahli Beardman for Australia while Sonny Baker replaced Jamie Overton for England.
