A composed 75 from
Ian Bell and a bristling 82 from Ravi Bopara saw England to a
comfortable six-wicket victory over Australia in the second One Day
International at the Kia Oval.
England's bowlers had restricted Australia to an under-par 251-7, opener Shane Watson top-scoring with 66 from 80 balls.
But led by Bell's 113-ball knock to anchor the innings and Bopara's in just 85, England were never behind the run-rate.
They got home with 4.2 overs to spare to claim their eight successive ODI win and go 2-0 up in the five-match series.
