England were well beaten by 88 runs in this second one day international at Old Trafford. Out of the sun it was very cold with the back of the stand open to the elements. Highlights were a hundred from Clarke and a good innings by Bailey while for England only Petersen , Morgan and Buttler managed a decent score.
