Right, I'll wrap things up there for today. Very impressive from Australia, plenty for England to ponder. Andrew Miller's report will be here to recap all the action. We'll be back on Saturday for the second match from Headingley. For now, from Gnasher and Alan, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Mitchell Marsh: "Very happy. Thought it was a great win, especially after the start England got and the way we were able to pull it back, going a man down. Was a pretty quick last 20 overs from us. [Marnus bowling] "I'd love to take credit for it. Was a forced changed, the longer their innings went on we felt pace off was the better option. I thought the way we bowled, especially our part-timers, was fantastic. [Illness in camp] "Just the calmness within the group, we do have some young guys here, we've got a couple injuries and a bit of illness flying around but that's the way it goes sometimes."

Harry Brook: "We did everything we said we were going to do. We tried to go out there and score quickly, put pressure on the bowlers, then when we came out to bowl we tried to take wickets. Wasn't our day today, hopefully it can be the next game. Yeah, definitely, we were eyeing up a big score for sure. It wasn't meant to be. It was difficult in the middle against the spinners, was holding in the pitch a little, but probably didn't rotate the strike as well as we wanted and ended up with a below-par score."

Travis Head is player of the match: "Two for as well," he jokes. "Got a bit lucky at the start of my innings but know if you get through there's a lot of runs on offer. Felt like we battled and grind, used different people. Jofra had it going round corners. Thought we played spin exceptionally well. I have a bit of a blueprint and a role, enjoy doing my role, play the game a little more relaxed now."

Australia win by seven wickets with six overs to spare and that's a statement performance from the World Champions. That's 13 ODI wins in a row for them. A magnificent innings from Travis Head and superb all-round display by Marnus Labuschagne. England were well-placed for 350-plus but fell away badly against Australia's collection of spinners. Australia, thanks to Head, were always in control of the chase. A reminder, too, that they were without some key players through illness and injury. The only sour note for them was Ben Dwarshuis joining the injury list on his ODI debut. I'll bring you the presentation shortly. Head has finished with the highest ODI score by an Australia batter in England, going past Meg Lanning's 152 not out against Sri Lanka in 2017

Jabba: "That Head wagon wheel shows a clear weakness on the scoop over the wicketkeeper. England need to exploit that (not sure how!)"
