So lets go back to Manchester where England will need 152 to win. Our commentators are Michael Holding and David Lloyd.
Ok, we're back here at Manchester where England need 152 to win, a harder chase than in the previous T20 match.
It should be harder for England this game but if they bat well, they could win this.
Well the pitch in the previous match was good for batsman yet both teams only just managed to get to 120. The pitch is better for bowlers today so it will be harder to chase on. Anyway lets go down down to the game where the captain Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook will open the batting.
4 runs off the first over from Johnson, a good start for Australia.
Well thats gone just wide of short leg, wait.. Hussey has taken a great catch. Bracken strikes early and Cook goes for 2.
Not what England wanted early on. Good catch though from Hussey and Cook is out. Pietersen is the new man to the crease.
An expensive over from Bracken, conceding 13 from it. England are 27/1 after 4 over's, a slow start but starting to play a bit quicker.
Johnson has bowled well and got the big wicket of Pietersen, Ponting taking an easy catch at first slip.
2 balls later and Johnson has his second wicket and it's the captain Strauss who is out. England are in deep trouble here.
Johnson has 2/13 from 3 over's now. A good bowling performance from him. Anyway it looks like Hilfenhaus is going to have a bowl.
Very straight bowling from Hilfenhaus in his first over. 6 singles however.
Hopes is going to have a bowl now. Hopefully he can make up from that poor batting performance.
79 runs required from the last 10 over's. Australia have decided to bring Hauritz into the attack.
8 runs off Hauritz's first over and nearly had Bell out LBW, who was going down to sweep and missed it but just going down leg.
Samit Patel is out and Hauritz gets his first wicket. He's just getting a bit of spin but not too much.
Hopes is brought back on to bowl his third over. He was bowling pretty full and the final ball is a bouncer which Prior tries to cut but gets a faint top edge straight to the keeper.
Bell and Flintoff are at the crease now and they still have a chance at this game.
This game is going to go down to the wire. England need 33 runs from the last 4 over's with still Bracken, Hilfenhaus, Johnson and Hauritz will still an over left.
Bracken strikes and Bell goes for 44. Victory is slipping away from grasp for England.
Well a good over from Bracken and England need 19 off the last 2 over's.
Hilfenhaus gets the wicket of Swann and England are into their tail.
Broad goes first ball and Hilfenhaus is on a hattrick.
Hattrick ball for Hilfenhaus and a thick inside edge and it races away for 4.
Well this game is going to be very close. 8 needed off the final over.
Johnson gets another wicket and England are going to have a tough job to win this.
It all comes down to this. 6 needed off the last ball and Anderson is on strike.
Anderson, can he do it. The crowd is cheering him on and..... he plays and misses. Australia have won. The series is tied 1-1. Now lets have a look at the scorecard.
Match Summary:
A close match in the end, Ponting getting man of the match for his unbeaten 90. Johnson bowled very well going at around 3 an over and picked up 3 wickets. Bell and Patel got England back in the match but it wasn't good enough to win. In the end Australia won by 5 runs.
Yes, a close match. Ponting deserved man of the match and was unlucky to not get a century. Anyway, thats all we have here from Manchester. The ODI series should be great.
Scores will be updated every 5 over's or when a wicket falls.

England have won the toss and elected to field. A weird decision on a batsman's paradise. A pretty sunny day here at The Rose Bowl and should make for some high scores.
After 5 over's Australia are 15/0. Haddin is 8* off 18 and Marsh is 7* off 13 balls.

Scorecard:
Haddin batted slowly while Marsh started off nicely. Haddin got out and Ponting also had trouble scoring runs. The final powerplay made him attack and he kept on going to make a century.

An easy victory in the end for Australia, winning by over 100 runs. Marsh was great with the bat making 150* and so was Ponting making an unbeaten century as well. England started well building a good partnership between Strauss and Cook but then it all fell apart. Hauritz and Hilfenhaus bowled really well taking 8 wickets between them.

Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. If Australia win this game, they win the series.
After 5 over's Australia are 30/0. Hussey is 16* off 17 and Marsh is 12* off 15 balls.
After 10 over's Australia are 67/0. Hussey is 37* off 35 and Marsh is 26* off 29 balls.
After getting out 2 times in the forties, Hussey finally makes 50. Maybe opening the batting put less pressure on him.
After 15 over's Australia are 102/0. Hussey is 59* off 50 and Marsh is 38* off 45.
Marsh makes 50 but can he go on to make a century.
After 20 over's Australia are 135/0. Hussey is 71* off 65 and Marsh is 58* off 60.
After 25 over's Australia are 175/0. Hussey is 92* off 83 and Marsh is 76* off 74 deliveries.
Australia is going along well and Hussey brings up 100.
Marsh also makes a century, his second in 2 games.
After 30 over's Australia are 216/0. Hussey is 107* off 96 and Marsh is 100* off 93 balls.
After 35 over's Australia are 263/0. Hussey is 116* off 108 and Marsh is 136* off 113 deliveries.
Marsh makes his second 150 in two games but can he make the first ever ODI double century.
After 40 over's Australia are 309/0. Hussey is 135* off 116 and Marsh is 164* off 134 balls.
Michael Hussey is in form as he brings up 150.
Shaun Marsh now will go into the record books as the only player so far to score an ODI double century.
After 45 over's Australia are 365/0. Hussey is 152* off 130 and Marsh is 201* off 152 balls.
Marsh is finally out and Sidebottom gets the only wicket so far. Marsh LBW b. Sidebottom 221
Marsh and Hussey were superb scoring over 150 each and Marsh going into the record books with a double century. Ponting also played a nice innings at the end to give Australia a total of above 400. That innings will give Australia the series unless England can pull off a miracle win.
England went out to bat chasing a monster target of 419 for victory. They need to win this one as well.
After a good first over from Mitchell Johnson, England went onto the attack reaching 34/0 from 5 over's. They continued to bat well but some great fielding from Ferguson reaching out and somehow grabbing it then hitting the stumps directly left Strauss stranded.
Strauss run out 37
England lost another wicket, this time Pietersen. Hilfenhaus had got a wicket and we were on top again.
Pietersen LBW b. Hilfenhaus 7
The next few over's were pretty tight including a maiden from Hopes. Hilfenhaus was bowling well and got the wicket of Cook before he could make a half century.
Cook LBW b. Hilfenhaus 42
They started to play aggressively though and Bell and Patel put on a good partnership. Bollinger was brought back and got the wicket of Patel trapped in front for 24.
Patel LBW b. Bollinger 24
The next ten overs was all England though. Prior going to 36 off 25 balls and Bell going into the 80's getting closer to three figures. Bell was finally out though for 85 off 66 to the bowling of Mitchell Johnson and the game would probably go to Australia.
Bell b. Johnson 85
Prior then went just before making 50 and Englands tail was exposed.
Prior LBW b. Johnson 48
Swann was dismissed for 12 by Hopes and that was pretty much it for England's chances of winning.
Swann LBW b. Hopes 12
Hilfenhaus continued to bowl well and got the wicket of Flintoff. England still need over 100 to win and it looks very unlikely.
Flintoff c. Hussey b. Hilfenhaus 37
Broad then got out to the bowling of Hauritz caught and bowled.
Broad c & b. Hauritz 4
Anderson got out to Bollinger and the match was over, England falling well short of their target.
Anderson c. Hauritz b. Bollinger 11
Scorecard:

Ok, we're back here at Manchester where England need 152 to win, a harder chase than in the previous T20 match.
It should be harder for England this game but if they bat well, they could win this.
