Great Britain suffered a heavy defeat in their second Test with Australia, two days after beating the Kookaburras for the first time in 27 years.

Australia's 6-1 triumph cancels out Great Britain's 3-1 win on Saturday and ties the two-game mini-series at 1-1.

Chris Ciriello, Simon Orchard and Blake Govers put Australia 3-0 up before Chris Griffiths struck back for Bobby Crutchley's much-changed side.

Jamie Dwyer, Ciriello and Aran Zalewski completed the rout at Bisham Abbey.

Great Britain now head to Belgium on Saturday for the start of the which doubles as an Olympic qualifier.

Crutchley, who left out four of his most senior players, said: "Inconsistent is the best way to describe our performance."
