Jofra Archer starred as world champions England staged a stunning fightback to beat Australia by 24 runs in the second one-day international at Old Trafford on Sunday. Australia, cruising to a modest victory target of 232, were dismissed for 207 as England levelled this three-match series at 1-1. The tourists were in command at 144-2, but lost four wickets for three runs -- including Australia captain Aaron Finch for 73 -- to be 147-6, the new-ball duo of Chris Woakes (3-32) and Archer (3-34) returning to do the damage on a used pitch.

And when left-arm paceman Sam Curran, recalled alongside brother Tom, took two wickets in two balls, after Woakes and Archer had completed their maximum 10-over stints, Australia were 166-8. Sam Curran then had Adam Zampa caught at mid-off from a well-disguised slower ball, to leave Australia on the brink of an extraordinary defeat at 176-9. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid ended the match with eight balls to spare when he had Alex Carey stumped by Jos Buttler. Player-of-the-match Archer, asked how he had been so quick so early in his spell, praised the influence of England captain Eoin Morgan. "I guess if you feel well you are going to bowl well most of the time," Archer told Sky Sports. "Morgs gives me the freedom to bowl whatever I want. He very seldom tells you 'no, don't do that'," added Archer, who bowled he decisive Super Over in England's dramatic World Cup final win over New Zealand last year. "This is a second-day wicket so you don't have to do too much or get too funky with variations."
