Berliner Tageblatt - Carey takes Australia to 270 in 2nd ODI against England after collapse

The world champions were in danger of being dismissed for an even lower total when they slumped to 221-9 inside 37 overs after England captain Harry Brook won the toss on his Yorkshire home ground.

But wicketkeeper Carey's superb 67-ball innings, featuring eight fours and three well-struck sixes kept Australia in the contest.

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh (60), looking to lead the side to a 14th straight ODI victory over all opponents after a seven-wicket win at Trent Bridge on Thursday in the first of this five-game series, was the only member of the top order to make more than 29.

Brydon Carse -- who removed Aaron Hardie (23) and Mitchell Starc (0) with successive deliveries -- took an expensive 3-75 in 10 overs, with fellow paceman Matthew Potts returning more economical figures of 2-30 in seven.

Spinners Adil Rashid (3-42) and Jacob Bethell (2-33) then kept things tight.

England might have feared the worst when Travis Head, fresh from his career-best 154 not out on Thursday, drove Potts and pulled Carse for two fine sixes.

But Head, fell for just 29 when the left-hander flicked Carse straight to deep backward square leg, with fellow opener Matthew Short out for the same score.

Marsh launched Carse out of the ground but Australia were 89-3 in the 14th over when Steve Smith was bowled for just four by a superb Potts late inswinger.

Marnus Labuschagne, who made 77 not out at Trent Bridge, only managed 19 before mistiming a pull off Bethell to mid-on.

And 145-4 became 151-5 when 20-year-old left-armer Bethell, in just his second ODI, had Marsh, missing a sweep, plumb lbw to end a 59-ball innings featuring six fours and three sixes.

Next ball new batsman Glenn Maxwell, one of three World Cup winners recalled by Australia -- along with fast bowlers Starc and Josh Hazlewood -- after recovering from illness, made just seven before slogging Yorkshire leg-spinner Rashid to deep midwicket.

Australia lost three wickets for five runs in 10 balls to be 221-9, with Brook cleverly ringing the changes in England's attack.

But Carey completed a 46-ball fifty in style by driving off-spinner Will Jacks for six before he was last man out, caught in the deep off Olly Stone to end a 10th-wicket stand of 49 with Hazlewood.
