Australia thumped England by 64 runs to go 2-0 ahead in the five-match series of one-day internationals although victory came with a large slice of controversy at Lord's on Saturday.

England were 141 for three, chasing a daunting 310 to win, when Ben Stokes was given out by the TV umpire for 10 'obstructing the field' for stopping paceman Mitchell Starc's shy at the stumps with his left glove while out of his crease.
