A pick of the action as Australia beat England by 64 runs at Lord's

Australia went 2-0 up in the five-match ODI series against England, with a 64-run win at Lord's.

The game was not without controversy though as Ben Stokes was given out obstructing the field in England's chase of 310.

With England 141-3, Stokes, out of his crease having hit the ball back to Starc, then stuck out his hand to block the return throw from the bowler at his stumps.

He was given out by the third umpire, and although England's captain top-scored in the contest with 85, the side never recovered, falling to 245 all out.

Fifties from Steve Smith, George Bailey and Mitchell Marsh helped Australia post 309-7 after England won the toss and inserted the tourists in to bat.

Rain had delayed the start and the match, which was reduced to 49 overs aside, and Australia suffered an early blow when David Warner was forced to retire after just one delivery after being hit on the thumb by a Steve Finn bouncer.

After the dismissal of Joe Burns, Smith and Bailey put on 99 for the next wicket as Australia built a good platform for a late innings assault.

Both Smith and Bailey fell to the spinners, Moeen bowling the latter before Rashid removed the Aussie skipper for the second game in a row.

However, some lusty blows from Glenn Maxwell, Marsh and Shane Watson helped their side past 300 despite some tight bowling from Chris Woakes and three late wickets for Ben Stokes.

England's top-order showed promise once again but similar to the first ODI at the AGEAS Bowl, Jason Roy (31), Alex Hales (18) and James Taylor (43) all fell after getting starts.

Stokes' controversial wicket sparked a mini-collapse of five wickets for 46 runs and although Morgan and Liam Plunkett (24) provided some late entertainment with a quickfire 55-run partnership.

Pat Cummins wrapped up the innings, and the match, with his fourth wicket - that of Morgan - to see Australia go 2-0 up in the series.
