When you are defending a below-par score, it is very important for your bowlers to step up and make amends for the mistakes made by the batsmen.
England posted just 137 runs on the board and their bowlers could not emulate their Australian counterparts as the hosts chased down the total with no fuss.
Although Chris Jordan claimed 2 crucial Australian wickets in as many overs, he was looted for 26 runs in his 3 overs.
David Willey removed David Warner early but he and Adil Rashid conceded more than 8 runs an over to put England on the back foot.
Liam Dawson and Tom Curran bowled 2 overs each, remained wicketless and conceded 23 runs each at an economy of 11.50 per over.
