A battling 94 from Steve Smith saw Australia to a series win against England with a game to spare after a 72-run victory in the second one-day international in Sydney on Saturday.

Both sides rested their captains, with Moeen Ali deputising for Joss Butler, while Josh Hazelwood was the surprise pick to lead Australia with Pat Cummins sitting out.

The pair put on 101 before Labuschagne departed with a top edge to mid-off trying to sweep Adil Rashid. But he upped the pace soon after, especially through his favoured leg side, and was assisted by Mitchell Marsh . Chasing 280, a decent total on a dry, bowler-friendly pitch, England got off to the worst possible start, losing two wickets without scoring a run.
