England to Learn from Aussies and Win ODI series against Australia

England to Learn from Aussies and Win ODI series against Australia  

Eoin Morgan (41) and Buttler played within themselves as they slowly rebuilt but after the England skipper was caught behind off Hazlewood and Moeen Ali (6) fell cheaply, Chris Woakes helped change the course of their innings.

Hitting out from his first ball, the all-rounder released all the pressure on England, and the partnership brought Buttler to life as he pummelled Cummins for 16 runs in the penultimate over before surviving an lbw appeal from the first ball of the final over - with a review confirming he had inside-edged the ball.

Woakes blasted 53 not out off 36 balls and after the all-rounder scampered through for a single off the penultimate ball, Buttler completed his first ODI hundred against Australia and set up a daunting chase for the hosts in Sydney to keep the series alive.

Australia's innings got off to a disastrous start as David Warner (8) chipped Woakes to extra cover and Mark Wood had Cameron White (17) caught behind.

The wicketkeeper-batsman reached three figures with a well-run two off the final ball of England's innings, after the visitors were put into bat.

When Buttler came to the crease England were precariously placed on 107-4, after the returning Pat Cummins had Jason Roy (19) caught at extra cover and a mis-timed drive from Alex Hales saw him dismissed for just one off Marcus Stoinis.

Jonny Bairstow (39) and Joe Root (27) - who was playing in his 100th ODI - briefly restored calm, sharing a 45-run third-wicket partnership, but a googly from Adam Zampa bowled the former and just 21 balls later Josh Hazlewood had England's Test captain chop on to his own stumps to put the hosts in control.
