Defeat a punch in the guts, says Warne

England won the second ODI by 24 runs to level their three-match series against Australia after the visitors, chasing a modest target of 232, suffered a dramatic collapse on Sunday.

Shane Warner has called Australia's defeat a punch in the guts.

"Australia hadn't played cricket for quite a long time so you sort of excuse them [that collapse] in the first T20, even though it cost them that series. They have been pretty good since then but this will be a real punch in the guts for Australia. They pride themselves on getting over the line in those sorts of games and doing the basics well," Warne told Sky Sports.

"They didn't do that - they weren't good enough, with Aaron Finch the only batsman to really show any touch. It's 1-1 ahead of the last day of the international summer. Who writes these scripts?" he added.

The third and final ODI will be held tomorrow at Old Trafford.
