England captain Eoin Morgan hailed bowlers Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes as "outstanding" and "unbelievable" as the pair took six wickets between them to spearhead a remarkable comeback to defeat Australia by 24 runs in the second ODI at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The world champions looked doomed to defeat in the match and series when Australia stood at 144 for 2, chasing a target of 232. But Archer and Woakes started a dramatic collapse which saw Aaron Finch's side lose seven wickets for just 32 runs.

Earlier, England also looked set for defeat at 149 for 8 before an outstanding ninth-wicket stand of 76 between Tom Curran (37) and Adil Rashid (35 not out) hauled them up to 231 for 9 in their 50 overs. The third and deciding match in the series also takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
