Australia recovered to defeat England in a last-over thriller on Wednesday to claim a three-match ODI series 2-1.
Batting first, England posted 302/7 thanks to a century from their opening batsman Jonny Bairstow and half-centuries from Sam Billings (57) and Chris Woakes (53*). In reply, Australia found themselves in trouble at 73/5 in 16.5 overs before Glenn Maxwell and Alex Carey stitched a double-century stand with each hitting a ton to revive the chase.
Maxwell blasted 108 off 90 while Carey made 106 off 114 but both were out as the match went down to the wire. It was left to Mitchell Starc to seal a thrilling victory as he struck a six and four with Australia overhauling the target with two deliveries to spare.
