Match Result England won by 6 wickets
MOM Jason Roy(England)for his 101(83 Balls 4x12 and 6x2)
England have given themselves a great opportunity to inflict their first 5-0 ODI series whitewash on Australia after a six-wicket victory in Durham with 32 deliveries remaining.
The result gave England a 4-0 lead with one game - in Manchester on Sunday - to play. It also meant that England have won eight of their last nine ODIs against Australia who have, in turn, won only two of their last 17 ODIs. While England won 4-0 in 2012, the third game in the series was lost to rain.
It tells you how much ODI cricket has changed - and how quickly - that England's victory in this match seemed all but inevitable from the first moments of their chase.
Not so long ago, a target of 311 would have appeared daunting. This was, after all, the second-highest successful run-chase in England's ODI history (after the 350 for 3 they made against New Zealand in Nottingham in 2015) and Australia's total had been, for a few hours, the highest ODI score on this ground.
