SYDNEY (Reuters): Owen Farrell kicked 20 points as England took an imposing early lead and held off a spirited Australian fightback to level the three-match series at 1-1 with a 25-17 victory in Brisbane on Saturday.

An early Billy Vunipola try and four penalties had England 19-0 ahead in the 32nd minute and two more three-pointers from Farrell in the second half proved enough to take the series to a decider at Sydney Cricket Ground next Saturday.

Australia, 30-28 winners in the series opener last week, scored tries through Taniela Tupou and Samu Kerevi either side of halftime but were unable to extend their 10-match winning streak at Lang Park.
