ENG beat AUS by 1 wicket | Australia vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 5th ODI Match - Commentary

So that is it from the final game of the series. Morgan and his teammates now lift the cup, spill champagne everywhere. Happy moments for the home side. The away side on the other hand, did really well in the last game but they still have a lot to improve. Cricketing action though does not end here as you can catch all the action from the second day of the third Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka by switching tabs. Till then, take care and goodbye.

England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says there are massive positives to take from today. Mentions the lower order stood up when the top order failed. Credits the way Buttler played. Further adds he has forced his way back into the Test team and is an important member in the ODI team. Admits it is the first time they failed in this series with the bat as a group and he would not want to repeat that. States that this was a tremendous fight back.

Australian skipper, Tim Paine, says they have been thought a lesson from a world class outfit. Credits the way Jos Buttler played after they had them under pressure. He feels they bowled a touch wide to Rashid and Buttler. At the halfway mark he thought the total was not enough but their bowlers came out and did their job really well. Acknowledges the way Short and Carey played. He reckons Stanlake is a very talented bowler. Ends by thanking the crowd for the support they have provided.

Man of the Match and Man of the Series, Jos Buttler, feels great about his performance today. Further adds they bowled really well but did not quite match it up with the bat. Says they just needed a partnership and Adil Rashid hung in well with him. Ends by saying he was ready to run the twos but not the ones when Jake Ball came out to bat.

England will be over the moon with this series win. They have got a clean sweep over the World Champions and that will bolster them as a unit. It was a gallant performance by their batsmen throughout (barring today) where they completely outclassed the Kangaroos. On the bowling front, there is still scope for improvement though as they can become even more clinical. Their next assignment is against India and that will truly judge their form, ability and quality.

Earlier in the day, a solid opening partnership between Aaron Finch and Travis Head was followed by a complete disintegration of the Aussie batting line-up. One by one the batsmen were sent to the pavilion and the collapse meant that the visitors ended with only 205 on the board. The Aussie bowlers probably bowled their best in this series today but the victory just wasn't meant to be. Jos Buttler stood like a rock in front of them and the 9th wicket partnership killed most of their hopes. Still, a word of praise for Billy Stanlake, he bowled his heart out and looked menacing.

For the visitors, it was a case of so near and yet so far. Defending a paltry total, Billy Stanlake came out all guns blazing and England were soon reduced to 5 for 50. With their backs to the wall and defeat looming large, Jos Buttler took the charge and decided to play as per the situation where he had to curb his natural game. He kept on losing partners at the other end but that didn't deter him a single bit. With the home side tottering on 114/8, Buttler finally found an able ally in Adil Rashid. Together the pair stitched in an 81-run stand to put England in a winning position out of nowhere. It did get close towards the end but Jos kept his cool to first score his century and then steer his team over the line where a sweet whitewash moment was waiting for them.

England have done it. They have registered their first whitewash over Australia in a 5-match bilateral series. The English players are delighted. Jos Buttler cannot hide his smile. Eoin Morgan is on the ground shaking hands with the Australian players. This series has been played in good spirits. Another defeat for Australia, however, they managed to push England this time around.

Time for the replays. They show that there is no inside edge and Hawk Eye shows it to be clipping the leg pole. Umpire's call stays but the good thing for Australia is they do not lose a review.

Nathan Lyon to Moeen Ali. PEACH! Turn, bounce that delivery had everything. Floats this one up on off, it turns away sharply and also bounces. Ali tries to keep it out off the front foot but gets beaten.

Billy Stanlake to Jos Buttler. Now, Stanlake offers width outside off, Buttler stays back to cut it through the line but fails to middle it properly. Finds point and that ends a tidy over. Just one coming off it.

Billy Stanlake to Jos Buttler. Tries to manufacture something, Jos. He steps out and across to create room but Billy sticks to his line around off. It's bowled on a length and once again Buttler only ends up defending it back.

Billy Stanlake to Jos Buttler. On a good length this time, around off, Buttler presents a straight bat in defense. Giving respect to the bowler in form.

Billy Stanlake to Moeen Ali. Back of a length delivery around middle and leg, Moeen gets on his toes and taps it down on the leg side for a run.

Billy Stanlake, the star with the ball, to operate from the other end. He bowled with a lot of fire in his first spell where he bagged three wickets and Australia will be hoping for more from him. No slip though for him. Hmm...

...THE CHASE RESUMES...

In spite of doing all the hard work thus far, do not be surprised if England canter through to a win. Why so pessimistic, do you ask? Because the main effort has been put in by the lanky Stanlake. The visitors need to stem in a team performance and not just expect Stanlake to pick up the remaining wickets. England might be 5 down but they are just one good partnership away from a whitewash. Meanwhile, psst psst... Panama have managed to score a goal against England in the FIFA World Cup - ensuring that it will not be a clean sheet for England. Can Australia do the same here in cricket and avoid a whitewash? Join us back at 1515 local (1415 GMT) for the remainder of this run chase...

Often, while defending small totals you need your opening bowlers to fire. Roy did that for Australia, giving Ashton Agar his wicket and then Billy Stanlake broke through that middle order. His fiery spell - 3 wickets in 5 overs, which also included a double-wicket maiden and 21 dots - had the English batsmen hopping. Lyon and Agar were not bad too, keeping the pressure on England. There is not much pressure chasing totals just over 200 in an ODI game, but these days, many batsmen consider 4 dot balls in an over as 'PRESSURE'.

Were England a bit too careless in their approach to 206? Sometimes that does happen. Such targets which can put you in trouble if you play too cautiously. Maybe, the hosts wanted to make a statement and in that process, ended up giving wickets away. Nothing to be taken away from Australia, who, barring Richardson have ensured that they were not caned.

Probably the most entertaining passage of cricket in this entire ODI series. England are tottering at 66/5 and all wickets have been lost in the span of an hour. Of course, 3 have been thrown away but make no mistake, Australia have bowled well.

Kane Richardson to Jos Buttler. A high full toss to end the 'session'. Buttler pulls it towards long leg and nearly gives a catch to Billy Stanlake over there. Lands just short. A single taken. 11 runs from that over which takes ENGLAND to 66/5, NEEDING ANOTHER 140 RUNS!!!

Kane Richardson to Jos Buttler. FOUR! PLUNDERED! Short and outside off, Buttler crashes it to the point boundary.

Nathan Lyon to Moeen Ali. RUN OUT CHANCE MISSED! Well, that could have tilted the game in Australia's favour. Moeen ticks it towards mid-wicket and sets off for a risky single. Travis Head charges to the ball from square leg, picks it up and has a shy at the bowler's end, only to miss. Lyon chose not to collect the ball, else Moeen would have been gone. Probably Ali mistook Travis Head's throwing arm. He is a left-hander, Travis and perhaps Mo thought he will not throw well with his 'wrong' hand. The ball meanwhile, has gone towards sweeper cover and Ali wants the overthrow but Buttler has run too far and rejects it.

Nathan Lyon to Moeen Ali. The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

Short and wide outside off, there to be hit but without any footwork? Naah... Hales just throws his bat at the ball with his feet probably in clay. Only manages a nick behind and Paine does the rest. Hales walks off fuming as England lose half their side...

When did you last see this? Two Powerplay 2 signals in the span of a scheduled single innings. POWERPLAY 2 has been signalled. 4 fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle till the... well, 40th over, if the match lasts till then.

Billy Stanlake to Alex Hales. FOUR! A tiring delivery from the tall man. Shot and outside off, Hales crunches it through point and gets a boundary. Not a bad way for England to end what has been Australia's Powerplay - 4 wickets picked, only 34 runs given and only 4 balls reached the fence.

Jos Buttler comes in at number 6, replacing his captain.

Billy Stanlake to Eoin Morgan. OUT! Timberrrrr! Stanlake is on fire and Australia are trying to make this into a contest. Morgan commits a bit too early into the shot, jumping down the track, then as is his habit, going back to defend. Stanlake fires in a quick delivery, landing it on a length and then skidding it through. The skipper tries to cover his initial juggling foot movement by a back foot defense but is totally done in by pace. The ball goes through before the bat can come down, hits the flap of his right pad and then deflects onto the woodwork.

Billy Stanlake to Eoin Morgan. Around middle, pushed towards cover.

Billy Stanlake to Joe Root. OUT! Edged and gone! Boy o boy, Australia have their third. This is a well-deserved and a well-thought out wicket. Root has been having trouble with the short ball outside off and Stanlake produces exactly that. Root looks to push that to the off side but the extra bounce proves to be his downfall. All he manages is an outside edge, straight to Shaun Marsh at first slip. 2 wickets from that over, leaking just 4 runs. Stanlake's figures now read - 3-0-12-2.

Billy Stanlake to Jonny Bairstow. EDGED, FOUR! Good ball from Stanlake, landing it on a length outside off and making it come back in. Bairstow looks to punch it through the line but is cramped for room and the ball takes the outside edge. However, there is no second slip and the ball races towards third man where D'Arcy Short makes a mess of a simple fielding effort. Question to Paine - With nothing to lose, why isn't the slip cordon packed?

Ashton Agar to Alex Hales. Full and straight, driven back to the bowler.

Ashton Agar to Jonny Bairstow. The arm ball, around middle, pushed back to the bowler.

Alex Hales walks in at number 3, replacing Roy.

Ashton Agar to Jason Roy. OUT! Well, that is yet another wicket which has been thrown away today. Australia threw away 9 out of their 10 wickets and now Jason Roy makes sure England have at least one contribution. Tossed up on middle and off, Roy comes down the track, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and just swings wildly. Misses and the ball hits the timber. Some solace for Australia - they have managed to dislodge the opening stand early this time.

Ashton Agar to Jonny Bairstow. Full and outside off, driven gloriously yet powerfully towards long off for a run.

Ashton Agar to Jason Roy. JUST SHORT! Full and around off, Roy plays that a tad uppishly and nearly spoons a return catch. Agar dives to his left but cannot get to the ball. It goes past him towards mid off and the batsmen take a single.

They are back! Well, Paine is starting with a spinner. It will be Ashton Agar vs Jason Roy first up. Jonny Bairstow is the other batsman. Here we go...
