Jason Roy scored 120 to set up a 38-run win for England over Australia and take a 2-0 lead in the one-day series.

Jos Buttler, who captained the side after Eoin Morgan suffered a back spasm, made an unbeaten 91 from 70 balls as England posted 342-8.

Shaun Marsh (131) made his first one-day century since 2013 to keep Australia in the game, but partnerships proved hard to come by.

Australia were bowled out for 304, with seamer Liam Plunkett taking 4-53.

Despite Morgan being ruled out just 20 minutes before the game began, England were able to put in an assured batting performance.

They posted their highest one-day score against Australia but Marsh's innings took the visitors deeper into the game than some may have expected.

However, Plunkett and spinner Adil Rashid (3-70) excelled in the final over to dismiss Marsh and run through the Australia tail.

The third game of the five-match ODI series takes place at Trent Bridge on Tuesday June 19,2018
