Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler. Full toss, outside off stump backing away driving, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Zampa. He's done it. Buttler scampers through for the second and he jumps for joy as he reaches the magical three figures. The first time he has scored a century against Australia and on this wicket it could be one of his best.
He has put England in a very strong position at 302-6 and at one point 250 was looking tough. At 107-4 Australia were firmly on top but they couldn't quite get the crucial wickets, which opened the door for a very good partnership between Eoin Morgan and Buttler. A handy knock from Chris Woakes as well and now England are in the driving seat with Australia needing 303 on a tricky surface.

Chris Woakes to Tim Paine. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run.
England win by 16 runs and they take an unassailable lead in the ODI series. It was a convincing win with Australia struggling in the middle overs when Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali were spinning a web. It took a quickfire 56 from Marcus Stoinis to try and get them back in the game but even his big blows couldn't get them over the line. England will be thrilled with how they recovered with the bat early on and then having to change the bowling line-up when Liam Plunkett went down injured. The series has been sewn up but there is still two more games to play, the next one will be at Adelaide. See you then.
