England posted a formidable 355-6 in the second ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, driven by Tom Banton’s brilliant 121 off 99 balls. After losing the series opener, England capitalized on batting-friendly conditions as Banton and Joe Root built a 135-run partnership.
Following Root’s dismissal for 62 and captain Harry Brook’s exit, Banton reached his second ODI century before being caught by Cameron Green. Jordan Cox and Will Jacks maintained the momentum with a 102-run stand, with Cox scoring 67 and Jacks finishing unbeaten on 54.
Australia, having won the toss and elected to bowl, saw Xavier Bartlett claim three wickets, while Riley Meredith replaced the rested Mahli Beardman. England’s total sets a challenging target for Australia to chase under lights in their attempt to secure the three-game series.
