Australia vs England Highlights And Cricket Score 5th Match - ODI Summary

End of Over : 48.3 ENG: 208/9

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.
