London: Australia opener David Warner has been ruled out of the rest of the one-day international series against England because of a thumb injury he suffered batting in the second ODI at Lord’s on Saturday. He will now travel with the squad to Manchester, where the third of a five-match contest starts Tuesday, and fly home on Monday, with a replacement to be announced, a Cricket Australia spokesman said. Warner, who struggled against the short ball during England’s 3-2 Ashes series win, was struck a painful blow on the left thumb as he got in a tangle trying to play fast bowler Steven Finn‘s second-ball bouncer of the Lord’s match. Poll: Ben Stokes was given out obstructing the field against Australia in 2nd ODI, was it the right decision?
The ball flew over wicket-keeper Jos Buttler‘s head for one and Warner required treatment on the field before retiring hurt on one. He walked off and received a consoling pat on the back from Finn. Warner, 28, did not resume his innings and did not field when England batted. His innings of 59 was the exact margin of victory in Australia’ 59-run win in the first one-day international in Southampton on Thursday. Australia finish on 309/7 after 49 overs against England in 2nd ODI at Lord’s
Earlier, Australia finished on a score of 309 for 7 after their quota of 49 overs in the second One-Day International (ODI) against England at Lord’s on Saturday. Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh and George Bailey led the way for the Australians with knocks of 70, 64 and 54 respectively, while Ben Stokes was the pick among the England bowlers with figures of 3 for 60 in nine overs. Australia scored as many as 96 runs in the last 10 overs. POLL: Who will win the England vs Australia 2nd ODI?
