Shane Watson gives Australia a flying start as the tourists, 1-0 down in the five-match series, win the toss and opt to bat first in the second one-day international in Cardiff
Wicketkeeper Tim Paine adds some lusty blows of his own as Australia rattle up 50 inside 10 overs
But Stuart Broad celebrates his 24th birthday with the wicket of Paine and becomes the youngest England bowler to reach 100 one-day international scalps
Broad then claims the prize wicket of Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who edges to wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter for 13 in the 15th over
Kieswetter swoops to pouch the important wicket of Watson as lively medium pacer Luke Wright, fresh from his 2-34 in the first match, claims another key scalp
James Anderson swings a ball back in to breach the defences of Australia's 'Mr Cricket' Mike Hussey, who falls for 14 to leave his side on 118-5 at the start of the 30th over
Steve Smith makes 41 before a leading edge straight into the air is caught by Paul Collingwood
The teams break for dinner with Cameron White, who was superbly caught by Kieswetter off a Wright no-ball, 86 not out and Australia on 239-7 - a good recovery from 118-5 but 20-30 runs short
England skipper Andrew Strauss punishes Clint McKay for bowling a no-ball, smacking a free hit for a straight six in the second over - a rare maximum for the opener
Kevin Pietersen comes in after Kieswetter is caught behind and helps Strauss put on 68 in quick time before a stunning one-handed leaping catch from Ponting dismisses him for 33
Strauss, having hit a second six, soon brings up his half century but is out for 51 after tamely chipping the ball back to spinner Nathan Hauritz as the Australian bowlers strike back
Paul Collingwood, in his 179th ODI, overtakes Alec Stewart's total of 4,677 runs to become England's leading one-day scorer before getting out for 48 with England in total control
Eoin Morgan, hero of England's win on Tuesday, struggles initially against the slow bowlers but gradually picks up the tempo with his usual array of eye-catching shots before falling for 52
Doug Bollinger is sprinting in and removes Morgan caught behind for 52 and for the first time a spot of tension breaks out among some England supporters
But, with only 29 needed, Graeme Swann (above) and Tim Bresnan see England home with 28 balls remaining to give the hosts a 2-0 lead in the five-match series
