Help me with sed`

Hi,

I have a file with following data in it.

root 1933 1923 localhost calm 32rhewr

I would only need 2nd column "1933" and throw everything away. how can i do it with sed? I know that we can do it with cut, but i want it with 'sed'.

Thanks in advance

Code:

$ sed 's/\(.*\) \(.*\) \(.*\) \(.*\) \(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/' ea.txt
1933

Best would be: 

$ awk '{print $2}' ea.txt
1933
