ENG beat AUS by 12 runs | England vs Australia, Highlights And Cricket Score 5th ODI Match - Commentary

Let me put something that won't please Stonis and something that he would love to change. So far in his ODI career, he has scored over 50 five times. On all the occasions, Australia have gone on to lose. England will be pleased with the sweet revenge that they have extracted after the drubbing in the Ashes. Of course, it is altogether different thing whether there's something as 'revenge' in sport. That's not all from this England's Australian tour. These two sides, along with New Zealand clash for a T20I tri-series. The first game of that is on the 3rd of February, 2018 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Join us for that game at 1920 local time (0820 GMT). Thanks for being awesome readers. Ta-ta, bubye! Take care!

The happy captain of the game, Eoin Morgan, is pleased how his side played today. States that his side's ability to show a fight is something that he hasn't seen in the past and is proud of the same. Reckons that they are spoilt for choices with the personnel at their disposal. Admits that although they haven't shuffled the side, he hopes that the guys learn from their win and improve as they go forward. Draws huge cheers from the crowd when he thanks them for their relentless support.

Steven Smith, the losing skipper, says that they did well with the ball to restrict England. Admits the target to being a chaseable one before conceding that continuous loss of wickets pegged them back. States that Andrew Tye was good with his change of pace that helped restrict the opposition. Opines that the crowd was spectacular, along with praising the surface and the outfield. Even he is looking forward to a couple of weeks off, he states.

The Player of the Series award goes to Joe Root. Shouts of 'Roooooooooot' echo the Optus Stadium. He reckons that the turnaround from the Tests to the ODIs has been surreal. About not having the burden of captaincy, he says that the roles in the side for the guys is fixed and hence it doesn't matter if he is leading the side or not. Reckons that it is always important to pick up wickets and think that the opposition is in the game otherwise things could get out of hand. Ends saying that he is looking forward to the rest that he is going to get.

It's time for the presentation. First up is the Man of the Match award and it is bagged by Tom Curran. He says that watching his side play a dominating brand of ODI cricket made it easier for him to walk in and put in a performance. States that he was always ready to come in and play straightaway. Reckons that they felt they had enough runs on the board.

Earlier, England were inserted in to bat and got a good start, courtesy their openers. But theirs was a case of batsmen who got starts not going on to convert it to something significant and that turned out to stymie them from running away to a steep score. For Australia, Andrew Tye was impressive with the ball, picking up his first five-wicket haul in ODIs.

For England, Tom Curran turned out to be their hero with the ball as he, literally, swung his way to a maiden five-fer in the 50-over format. He bowled with pace, changed it occasionally to catch the batters off-guard and swung the ball en route to the number of wickets that he picked. Moeen Ali was also among the wickets with crucial three wickets in the middle, that stemmed the Aussies' march. Adil Rashid slipped in with the crucial strike of Stoinis. All in all, it was a good game for the visiting team with the ball.

As often seen in the sport, a run out broke the Stoinis-Head stand. Steven Smith hasn't been his own in this series and he let his side down yet again with another failure. Further down, Glenn Maxwell combined with Stoinis to add over 50 runs for the 5th wicket, which kept their side always in the hunt. Post that, one would have backed England to seal the deal but Tim Paine and Adam Zampa ensured that the win wasn't an easy one for the tourists.

At the halfway stage, this total was a below par one as per the pundits. But boy, have England changed the narrative in some style! Well, let's say this - Australia have squandered yet another opportunity to turn up on the right side of the result owing to their not-so-great batting effort. Although they lost David Warner early, the move to send Marcus Stoinis in at no.3 almost paid off for them. He added 62 for the second wicket with Travis Head, carrying on to stroke his way happily to a half-century.

Hush! This game was closer than it was supposed to be at many stages. Eventually, we've had a good match on our hands and the team that played better on the day turned out to be the winners. England. They are seen applauding the Barmy Army for being persistent with their support for their side. The customary handshakes take place and the win is theirs to be savoured.

Tom Curran to Tim Paine. OUT! Tom Curran's maiden five-fer in ODIs inspires England to a win at the Optus Stadium in Perth! Spears it full and straight in line of the stumps. 'You miss and I hit' says Tom, as Paine looks to get his front foot out of the way and smash it down the ground. Misses the ball owing to the swing inwards and ends up losing the sticks behind. ENGLAND WIN THIS GAME BY 12 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 4-1!

Tom Curran to Tim Paine. Very full on off, Paine stands back and hits it to covers. Doesn't take the run again.

Morgan first has a chat with Buttler and then a talk with Curran. Tom is ready to go, he is in search off his maiden ODI fifer.

Jake Ball to Tim Paine. Pulled to deep square leg but again he denies the run.

Jake Ball to Tim Paine. FOUR! That'll help! Doesn't matter how they comes as long as runs come. This is short in length, Paine backs away and looks to cut it. But gets a thick outside edge over the vacant slip cordon for a boundary. Not commanding but effective nevertheless. 20 off 15 needed.

Josh Hazlewood is the last man in for Australia.

The ball does what it was released to do, knocks out the middle stump. Tom has his hands apart and is running and leaping in celebration while Zampa is down in disgust. 24 more needed in 21 with only 1 wicket in hand.

Tom Curran to Tim Paine. This time Tim reads the slow paced ball and glides it to third man for one.

Jake Ball to Tim Paine. Paine works it to the on side and gets to the other end.

The players appeal and Simon Fry raises the finger. Signaling that he has hit it, Adam signals a 'T'. There is no inside edge and the Hawk Eye shows that the ball pitched outside leg. Good use of the review from Zampa.

Adam Zampa is a goner! He is ruled out LBW and he opts to review the same immediately, signaling that he has hit it.

David Willey to Tim Paine. Length ball angled in, Paine tucks it to square leg to rotate strike. 32 off 32 needed.

David Willey to Tim Paine. In line of the stumps, pushed back to the bowler.

David Willey to Tim Paine. Full on off, blocked off the front foot.

Oho! Joe Root was seen warming up by rolling his right arm. When he did that, he clinched his right rib and grimaced. Perhaps the blow that he took while batting stung him a bit.

David Willey to Tim Paine. Outside off, pushed to covers.

Ball is in trouble. He was out of the field earlier and now after bowling the previous one, he looks to be in extreme discomfort. Not sure what the issue exactly is. Is it heat or some injury? He has popped some pill and is still standing there. Not sure, why. If not fit, you'd rather walk out and if good enough, continue with the game rather than halting it. But the visitors need Ball's services as they have just the five specialist bowlers. Now, he is walking out of the field.

Jake Ball to Tim Paine. On the pads, flicked away through backward square leg for one.

Jake Ball to Adam Zampa. Aerially driven through then cover region for one.

Moeen Ali to Andrew Tye. OUT! The end is nigh! Flatter on off, Tye goes back to work it to the on side but gets a leading edge. The ball lobs straight to Morgan at covers for the easiest of catches. The joy on the visitors' faces has a tale to tell. Tye knew it as soon as he hit it that he was a goner and began his walk back before even Eoin pouched that.

Moeen Ali to Tim Paine. Floated outside off, Paine gets down to play the reverse sweep. Goes off something to Buttler who fails to collect and the batters run one. The umpire asks Tim of he hit it, to which he replied in negation. Leg bye signaled.

Tom Curran to Andrew Tye. Dropped! Bairstow the naughty man on the field! Slower delivery on a length around middle and leg, Tye stays in the crease and swings it away to the on side. It is flying in the air towards square leg. Bairstow runs to his right initially and then comes forward but fails to hang on to that. He puts in a dive as well but all is futile. Two runs result.

Moeen Ali to Andrew Tye. Defended off the back foot by the batsman.

Moeen Ali is back on. My colleague earlier observed that the Aussies have been either boom or bust against spin. Will the lower order bats take him on now?

Tom Curran to Tim Paine. This is outside off, left alone.

Tom Curran to Andrew Tye. Tye draws huge cheers from the crowd as he punches this through covers and gets to the other end.

Tom Curran to Andrew Tye. FOUR! If the full and swinging ball can get you wickets, it can get you runs as well. This is bowled around middle and leg, Tye does well to flick it away through mid-wicket. The ball has enough in it to go to the mid-wicket fence.

Andrew Tye makes his way out to the middle now.

Tom Curran to Mitchell Starc. OUT! Tom Curran looks like a train on fire! He's steaming in and running away with wickets. Delivers this full in length and gets it to swing away. Starc has to play at that and all he manages is a thick outside edge. Buttler dives full length to his left and takes it with both hands in front of first slip. Too good a delivery for a top order batter, leave alone for a lower order one. Woah! This something-teen-overs ball is swinging big time. Australia are 68 runs away and have just 3 more wickets in hand.

Tom Curran to Mitchell Starc. Fuller on off, driven to mid off.

Mitchell Starc walks in at number 8.

Tom Curran to Glenn Maxwell. OUT! Big moment in the game! If you ever thought that this game was over at the halfway stage or even when Maxwell was going hammer and tongs, do not feel proud, as you've read the game wrong. This is an inspired bowling change and it has borne fruits for Morgan and England immediately. Curran runs in from over the wicket and lands it on a length and gets it to nip back in. Glenn looks to go downtown but misses it. The ball hits his back pad and goes towards the keeper, who dives to stop it while appealing simultaneously. On not getting the umpire's nod, DRS is taken by England. Snicko shows that there is no inside edge and Hawk Eye hits the hammer on the head by returning three reds. Australia in trouble is a very soothing way to state their position in the game at the moment.

Big moment in the game! A huge appeal is made against Maxwell for LBW. The umpire doesn't rule it out and England seek to review it. Looks close...

Tom Curran to Glenn Maxwell. WIDE! Full and angling down leg, Glenn fails to flick it away.

Tom Curran back on.

Adil Rashid to Marcus Stoinis. OUT! Adil Rashid provides England the breakthrough. How many times have we seen this in the last five games? This is his 10th wicket in this series. Floats it up around off, Stoinis charges down and takes it on the full. But what he doesn't want to happen yet it happens, is that he hits it to long on. Curran is stationed there and he moves swiftly to his left and takes a low tumbling catch. The elation on England players' faces says it all. To be fair to Marcus, the shot was on but the execution part is where he faltered. He falls 13 short of his ton, the hosts are still 71 away.

Adil Rashid to Glenn Maxwell. This is turned away to the on side for a single.

Adil Rashid to Glenn Maxwell. FOUR! When Glenn is in the middle, these shots become the new normal. Floated ball around off, he gets down and gets out the reverse sweep. Gets it over backward point and the ball eventually rolls to the fence.

Adil Rashid to Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell pushes it towards cover-point and there is a slight confusion in the running. Decide against it.

Adil Rashid to Glenn Maxwell. Outside off, pushed towards point.

Adil Rashid to Marcus Stoinis. Floated outside off, swept away through square leg for one.

Drinks! Australia are another 77 runs away from the target and have 102 balls to get there. England, on the other hand, have to snaffle up 6 more wickets. It's a race to the finish. Who'll get there first? Remember, if this pair decide to go bang, bang, it could be over before you know.

David Willey to Marcus Stoinis. Quick run taken to bring up the 50-run stand between Stoinis and Maxwell, the players who turn up for the Stars in the BBL. Full in length, Marcus hits it to mid off and sets off immediately for the run. Morgan doesn't have a shy. These two have held fort nicely after some quick wickets threatened another batting collapse in the middle.

Adil Rashid to Marcus Stoinis. SIX! Willllleyyyy cannot take it! This is tossed up outside off, Stoinis just lifts it with the turn over long off. The man there leaps but the ball just kisses his fingertips and goes the distance. Technically a drop but very tough.

Adil Rashid to Marcus Stoinis. Floated full outside off, Stoinis fails to dig it out.

Adil Rashid back on. Can he prise out either of these two? A short mid off in place.

David Willey to Marcus Stoinis. Length ball outside off, steered to third man to retain strike.

Jake Ball to Glenn Maxwell. Punched to the left of Ali in the deep. This time he does well and just a run results.

Ian Healy on air makes an interesting point. He observes that Smith has been dismissed by spinners throughout the ODI series. He attributes it to the fact that the Aussie skipper might be tired. He reasons saying that Steven is a good player of spin and his footwork against them looks lousy, thereby contributing to his downfall.

Jake Ball to Glenn Maxwell. The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

Jake Ball to Glenn Maxwell. FOUR! Oh Ali, no Ali! Maxwell drives it nicely through covers and it should have been a couple at the most. Ali looks to pick it up and fire a throw quickly but takes his eyes off the ball early. Ends up missing it and lets it trickle away to the fence. Ball isn't happy and he kicks the surface in angst.

Moeen Ali to Mitchell Marsh. OUT! What a catch! Moeen Ali you beauty! This is very similar to the Jofra Archer catch to dismiss Ben Cutting in a BBL game. Woah! Ali tosses it up on middle, Marsh has hit it back towards the bowler with all his might but does not keep it down. Ali reaches out for it with his right hand and it has stuck in his fingers. Marsh can't believe it as he would have thought it is a boundary after he hit it. Even the umpire must have felt the same as he too, was ducking for cover. Nevertheless, Moeen gets his second in quick succession, which is also his 200th in international cricket. England are right back in this. 127 needed more off 157 with 6 wickets in hand.

Moeen Ali to Steven Smith. OUT! Wicket no. 199 in international cricket for Moeen Ali and it is a big scalp. The Australian skipper departs cheaply. His poor form in ODIs continues. Ali bowls a flatter ball which does not turn and goes on with the arm outside off. Smith walks down to play for the non existing turn and gets beaten. He is a long way down the track and Buttler behind the stumps, collects it and whips the bails off. Third one down for Australia and England are trying to fight back.
