England jolted early by Mitchell Starc’s double whammy

England got off to a disastrous in their chase of 281 as they lost the wickets of Jason Roy and in-form Dawid Malan pretty early. Mitchell Starc struck twice in his first over to give the hosts the upper hand after they rode on Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne’s 94 and 58 respectively to post 280/8 in 50 overs in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. Australia are ahead in the series having won the opener in Adelaide, and England will rely on the middle-order to come good as they fight to keep the rubber alive.
