Australia captain Tim Paine has said his side must deliver a "complete package" if they are to fight their way back into the one-day international series against England. Saturday-s 38-run loss in the second ODI in Cardiff left Australia 2-0 down in a five-match campaign against England, the world-s number one-ranked side in this format.

It was also world champions Australia-s sixth defeat in seven ODIs against England this year, a sequence that includes a 4-1 series loss Down Under in January.

Overall, it also represented a 13th loss from their last 15 matches at this level that have produced a result. Australia arrived for this series against 2019 World Cup hosts England without several first-choice players - Ashes-winning fast bowling trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.
