That proved more than enough as a new-look England, who collapsed to 65-5, were dismissed for 202 with nearly 10 overs remaining and lost the match by 68 runs.
None of their batsmen made a fifty, with Jamie Smith's 49 merely delaying a defeat that had long looked inevitable.
Mitchell Starc (3-50) and Hazlewood (2-54) struck early in England's reply after the veteran fast bowlers missed Australia's seven-wicket success at Trent Bridge on Thursday with illness.
"They (England) bowled really well up front and got us in a bit of trouble, Josh Hazlewood did a fantastic job," player-of-the-match Carey told Sky Sports.
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh, who made a valuable 60, added,"I think these days 270 always feels a little bit short. But we knew it was a new wicket and if we got early wickets we had a chance.
The five-match series which Australia lead 2-0 continues at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday (Sep 24).
