Great come back by Australia to win 3rd ODI against England

Great come back by Australia to win 3rd ODI against England  

Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins decimated the tourists’ top-order in Adelaide

Having been put in, England lost Roy second ball as he flashed the ball to backward point off Hazlewood.

Cummins then got one to jag back and bowl Alex Hales (3), Bairstow and Buttler nicked behind off Hazlewood and was Root caught on the hook in between as Australia's opening pair made a flying start.

Eoin Morgan (33) and Moeen Ali (33) started the recovery, adding 53 for the sixth wicket before Cummins returned to oust the England captain.

That brought Woakes to the crease and he held the innings together, scoring at a good rate thanks to a series of pulls and drives, with Tom Curran chipping in with a useful 35 from No 10 before England were bowled out in the 45th over.

Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and Jos Buttler were all dismissed without scoring as England slumped to 8-5 in an incredible start to the fourth ODI.

Chris Woakes hit his second consecutive half-century from No 8 to lead the recovery but a total of 196 never looked like being enough.

So it proved as, despite a couple of wobbles, Australia sealed a three-wicket victory with 13 overs to spare, Travis Head (96) anchoring the innings, falling just shy of his hundred after a fine knock.

Australia set off quickly in their chase and maintained a good pace despite losing David Warner (13) early and Cameron White (3) and Steve Smith (4) falling soon afterwards, the latter to a brilliant reaction catch from Root off Adil Rashid.

Travis Head, opening in place of the injured Aaron Finch, went through to his fifty and kept his cool as Rashid (3-49) removed Mitchell Marsh (32) and Marcus Stoinis (14) to keep England interested.

He fell to Mark Wood just four runs short of his century and Cummins was calamitously run out but Paine made amends for his part in the run out, hitting a pair of boundaries to put Australia on the verge before AJ Tye struck the winning runs.
