CRICKET: Australia Crush England In Second T20 In Melbourne

Australia took control of the second T20 against England in Melbourne courtesy of an outstanding performance in the field, and no example of that was better than Glenn Maxwell's run and throw to run out Joe Root.
Australia added the Twenty20 series to their victories in the Ashes and one-day internationals, as an eight-wicket win over England gave them a 2-0 lead. England lost four wickets in as many overs early in their innings after opting to bat and only Jos Buttler (22) passed 20 in their mediocre 130-9.

Cameron White struck 57 and George Bailey fired three sixes in his 60 as Australia won with 31 balls left.
It was their 11th win out of 12 in all formats against England on the tour.
Australia 131-2 (14.5 overs) beat England 130-9 (20 overs) by eight wickets
