England razed the visiting Australians in a 39-over rain-curtailed fourth ODI at the iconic Lord’s on September 27 to set up an exciting series finale for fans in Bristol.

Here’s the timeline of how ENG vs AUS panned out in Lord’s:

ENG vs AUS Highlights: Ben Duckett Keeps ENG Afloat Before Big Flourish

English opener Phil Salt squandered away his start at 22 in the tenth over of the innings to Australian paceman Josh Hazlewood. Will Jacks at number three also joined him in the sheds after making just 10 as an attempted drive off Mitchell Marsh triggered his downfall.

At 71-2 in 14 overs, unbeaten opener Ben Duckett was joined in the middle by interim captain and number four batter Harry Brook. Duckett kept the English innings afloat by crafting a fluent near run-a-ball 63 before he top-edged one towards Sean Abbott off Adam Zampa in the 23rd over.

ENG vs AUS Highlights: Livingstone’s 62*, Starc Pounding Set Up Huge ENG Total

English captain Harry Brook took over the run-scoring onus after Duckett’s departure by forming 75 runs with Jaimie Smith. Brook top-scored with 87 runs from just 58 balls with 11 boundaries and a six before both he and Smith were toppled in quick succession by Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell respectively.

Walking into the middle in the 31st over of a 39-over game, Liam Livingstone scorched the Australian attack at the death with 62 unbeaten runs from just 27 deliveries. Livingstone pumped 28 of those runs from the final Mitchell Starc over as England surged to 312-5 by the completion of their innings.

ENG vs AUS Highlights: Marsh, Head Clobber 68 Off Eight Before Ensuing Mayhem

Chasing 313 in 39 overs, Australian openers Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head raced to a cracking start at the top of the order. The two blistering cricketers carpet-bombed the new-ball English attack by shaping 68 scintillating runs around the opening eight overs itself.

With the Australian scoring rate mounting up with each passing over, Brydon Carse delivered England their first breakthrough by cleaning up Head (34 off 23) in the ninth over of the innings.

Brydon Carse’s demolition job over Travis Head ended up triggering a colossal batting collapse within the Australian camp, as they lost all their 10 wickets at an expense of 58 runs in the subsequent 16 overs. While the opening combo yielded 68 swift runs for the tourists, they were enveloped for just 126 to fall 186 runs short of their target.

After his new ball blitz, Carse snapped Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne in quick succession to bag figures of 3-36. Matthew Potts (4-38) got rid of Steve Smith before mopping up the Australian tail as England brought the five-match series to levelling terms with a game still left in the bank.
