Superb stuff from England. They have kept the series alive in fine style. Read Mark Mitchener's match report here.
Shall we do it all again in Leeds on Friday? Let's do.
Thanks for your company tonight and I'll be seeing you soon. Night.
'The coach asked me if I tripped over'
Steven Finn, who took 2-43 and a stunning one-handed diving catch, on Sky Sports: "I can't believe everyone is surprised I caught it...
"The ball before, Alex Hales said, 'Why don't you swap with James Taylor at point?' But I said, 'I've got it covered'. Everyone went a bit mad. Steve Smith is a big wicket for us.
"The coach has just asked me if I tripped over."

More from England skipper Morgan on TMS: "The most pleasing aspect was the amount that we won by, given that the shoe was on the other foot for the first two games of the series.
"Steve Finn set the tone. Then handing the ball to out two spin wins was quite easy. They took advantage of conditions - 5-70 is outstanding.
"James Taylor has come in as a replacement for Joe Root, which isn't easy. But he has done a fine job of it. He has played extremely well."
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I'm very impressed. We improved in the areas I asked the guys to from the first two games. Two openers were very good - Jason Roy played his game, lots of strong shots down the ground and then me and James Taylor got a good partnership going in the middle. The pitch deteriorated much more than we thought it would and that played into our hands further into the game.
"We played positive cricket, took options when we could. An opportunity came in front of us and we managed to do that.
"The spinners were outstanding. The new ball set the tone and Steve Finn's spell was impressive and then the spinners came on and bowled with control and didn't bowl too many bad balls throughout their 10 overs."

Man of the match
And James Taylor is given the man of the match award for his role in England's win. And to think some people criticised him.
'We got the total we needed'
James Taylor, who made 101 in England's 300-8, on TMS: "It's been a couple of games coming for us to get back to winning ways. I got 98 not out against Australia so to get a hundred against them in a winning cause is nice.
"I thought we were on for 330, but when you lose wickets in clumps it restricts you. But we got the total that we needed.
"Moeen and Rashid did outstandingly. There was quite a lot of pressure on them knowing it's spinning."

Player reaction
Australia captain Steve Smith, speaking at the post-match presentation: "They got a few too many. We did drag it back quite well with the ball. However, with the bat we struggled in the middle overs. The wicket was getting slower. We have to find ways to rotate the strike in the middle overs and then keep enough wickets in the shed so we can go berserk at the end.
"Aaron Finch played some beautiful shots down the ground, he's a quality player and we're pleased to get him back in our line-up."

We're also getting a good idea about England's key men in this series - James Taylor (64), Eoin Morgan (62) and Jason Roy (54) are all averaging in excess of 50 with the bat. Roy's strike-rate is 114, too.
With the ball, Adil Rashid has seven wickets at 20.57.
"This is great for the series. You want the series to be alive and England have played so well tonight."
Captain's view
Australia captain Steve Smith on Test Match Special: "The wicket slowed up quite a bit - it looks like a day-four Test wicket - and the spinners really came into the game. They got 5-70 off their 20 overs. For us, it's about finding a way to get off strike in those middle overs and not give them too many wickets.
"We're in a good position - 2-1 up is a good place to be. England can't afford to slip up at all in these last two games, so hopefully we'll put them under pressure."
Post update
So, the two teams head to Headingley on Friday and back to Old Trafford for the decider on Sunday. Both matches begin at 10:30. Of course, you can follow it all right here.

Matthew Wade has batted well against England this summer, he's averaging 98 in the series on the back of that 71 not out in the first game. He hits four backward of square, but the game is surely up now. Jason Roy, by the way, is holding his shoulder after hurting it throwing in from the boundary a couple of overs ago.
"One thing that has impressed me in general has been how England have fielded tonight - they have been sharp; they have hunted in packs."
Aus 181-9 (Wade 19, Pattinson 0)
James Pattinson fails to connect with a 76mph slower ball. If he had done, we'd be asking the Old Trafford footballers for our ball back. Just four from the over.

Liam Plunkett takes his third wicket - he's not bowled that well! - when Pat Cummins mis-times a shot down the ground and chips it to Jason Roy at long-on.
Is it a walrus or is it an opening batsman with a mask on? One thing's for sure, the fella in the background wearing the flat cap (proper Lancashire that) finds it funny. I do too.
Moeen Ali's finished with 3-32 on 10 overs. Can he pack up this pitch and take it round with him?

Another sumptuous spinning top from Moeen draws Mitchell Starc into a drive but he can only edge behind where Jonny Bairstow takes an impressive catch.
"This is an absolutely phenomenal catch. That is beyond any catch you will see in the outfield. At full stretch going back, he dropped the ball but had the presence of mind to get it at the second attempt. That is stupid stuff. That is the catch of his career."

Wowzers. England are taking some sensational catches here. Jason Roy's the man this time, running past a steepler at long-on but somehow palming it into the sky and then getting to Go-Go Gadget arms out to catch the rebound behind him. He defied all laws of physics there. Incredible snaffling.

Plunkett continuing from the Pavilion End. The target for Australia now 138 off 78 balls. Will be a good one to win from here, as they say.
"For one moment Alex Hales became a lot better looking than he normally is."
Aus 163-6 (target 301)
Everyone, apart from the Aussies, is having fun at Old Trafford now. Alex Hales is thrown a walrus mask from the crowd and duly obliges - putting it on, to the delight of the spectators. Moeen's latest set of six bring four singles.

Aus 152-5 (target 301)
Mitchell Marsh is trying to force Moeen through the leg side, and there's a fielder in position at short mid-on if he doesn't get it quite right. He eventually takes a single to get off strike and then Moeen almost cleans up Matthew Wade who misses with a cut shot and the ball spins over the top of the bails by a whisker.
"A good old-fashioned Old Trafford wicket: good to bat on at first and spin coming into it more and more. That was a smashing spell from Rashid."
Aus 150-5 (Rashid 10-1-42-2)
APCopyright: AP
It's mesmerising to watch Adil Rashid. He stands flicking the ball in the air at the top of his mark and then gives it a right, good rip when he delivers. The ball is like a spinning top when it lands - zipping off the surface, one delivery in particular squaring up Mitchell Marsh as it pitches on middle and off and is taken by Jonny Bairstow to his right.
"Since the ball's been turning, it has made everyone in the field that bit more interested."
Aus 143-5
I don't know why, but I thought Ashton Agar had walked to the crease. He hasn't - Matthew Wade has. My bad! I'll get my coat. Another over whistles by - just two from it. Moeen's having a ball out there.

That is only Moeen's 24th ODI wicket in 25 matches. He averages 41.47 with the ball in 50-over cricket, but he's got the Aussies on the rack here. They were cruising until he came into the bowling attack.

Bailey steers a two back past the bowler, before a single brings the main man Finch back in strike - and while an ugly swipe over mid-wicket isn't going to win any awards for artistic impression, it does take him to 50 from 53 balls - and Australia to 100.
"That is as good a stroke as we have seen all summer."
Aus 95-2 (target 301)
Wowee. That. Is. Marvellous. Plunkett over-pitches and Finch unleashes another booming drive that fizzes to mid-off's left. Probably a good job that was nowhere near him - it could have done some damage.

Maybe a change of ends will help Plunkett, who is lumbering in now after Finn finally takes a blow with figures of 1-29 off seven.

Smith is on the move. He takes a couple to third man, then whips Finn to square leg from right in front of middle stump, and misses out on a pulled four only by a smart stop from Moeen at mid-on.

Earlier, it was suggested by Rob Meech (44 overs) that Ben Stokes is "miles ahead" of Andrew Flintoff at the same stage in their careers. We've done some number-crunching - comparing the two after 32 ODIs - and Flintoff edges it. Certainly with the bat.

Finch may have a reputation as a bit of a dasher at the top of the order, but some of the strokes he has played tonight wouldn't look out of place in the MCC coaching manual. A back-foot forcing shot straight back down the ground earns him four. Delightful.

Boos ring round Old Trafford. That must mean the Australia skipper is walking to the crease. The Mancunian cricket public haven't forgotten about that incident at Lord's on Saturday with Ben Stokes. Smith isn't too bothered and he drives uppishly through the covers for the boundary which gets him off the mark.
"Burns was trying to hit Finn over the top and miscued it completely. Morgan was hamstrung by Jason Roy, who had no right to go for that one. He made a regulation catch for Morgan almost result in a hospital trip."

More from England skipper Morgan on TMS: "The most pleasing aspect was the amount that we won by, given that the shoe was on the other foot for the first two games of the series.
"Steve Finn set the tone. Then handing the ball to out two spin wins was quite easy. They took advantage of conditions - 5-70 is outstanding.
"James Taylor has come in as a replacement for Joe Root, which isn't easy. But he has done a fine job of it. He has played extremely well."
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I'm very impressed. We improved in the areas I asked the guys to from the first two games. Two openers were very good - Jason Roy played his game, lots of strong shots down the ground and then me and James Taylor got a good partnership going in the middle. The pitch deteriorated much more than we thought it would and that played into our hands further into the game.
"We played positive cricket, took options when we could. An opportunity came in front of us and we managed to do that.
"The spinners were outstanding. The new ball set the tone and Steve Finn's spell was impressive and then the spinners came on and bowled with control and didn't bowl too many bad balls throughout their 10 overs."
In case you missed it earlier...
Man of the match
And James Taylor is given the man of the match award for his role in England's win. And to think some people criticised him.
'We got the total we needed'
James Taylor, who made 101 in England's 300-8, on TMS: "It's been a couple of games coming for us to get back to winning ways. I got 98 not out against Australia so to get a hundred against them in a winning cause is nice.
"I thought we were on for 330, but when you lose wickets in clumps it restricts you. But we got the total that we needed.
"Moeen and Rashid did outstandingly. There was quite a lot of pressure on them knowing it's spinning."

Player reaction
Australia captain Steve Smith, speaking at the post-match presentation: "They got a few too many. We did drag it back quite well with the ball. However, with the bat we struggled in the middle overs. The wicket was getting slower. We have to find ways to rotate the strike in the middle overs and then keep enough wickets in the shed so we can go berserk at the end.
"Aaron Finch played some beautiful shots down the ground, he's a quality player and we're pleased to get him back in our line-up."

With the ball, Adil Rashid has seven wickets at 20.57.

Captain's view
Australia captain Steve Smith on Test Match Special: "The wicket slowed up quite a bit - it looks like a day-four Test wicket - and the spinners really came into the game. They got 5-70 off their 20 overs. For us, it's about finding a way to get off strike in those middle overs and not give them too many wickets.
"We're in a good position - 2-1 up is a good place to be. England can't afford to slip up at all in these last two games, so hopefully we'll put them under pressure."

Mitchell Marsh is trying to force Moeen through the leg side, and there's a fielder in position at short mid-on if he doesn't get it quite right.

It's mesmerising to watch Adil Rashid. He stands flicking the ball in the air at the top of his mark and then gives it a right, good rip when he delivers.

Smith is on the move. He takes a couple to third man, then whips Finn to square leg from right in front of middle stump, and misses out on a pulled four only by a smart stop from Moeen at mid-on.
How's stat?!
Earlier, it was suggested by Rob Meech (44 overs) that Ben Stokes is "miles ahead" of Andrew Flintoff at the same stage in their careers. We've done some number-crunching - comparing the two after 32 ODIs - and Flintoff edges it. Certainly with the bat.

The 50 is up but Finch is almost run out seconds later. Smith pushes to the left of at cover and calls his partner through. Finch isn't quite as quick as his captain, though, and he would have been gone had James Taylor hit.

Finch may have a reputation as a bit of a dasher at the top of the order, but some of the strokes he has played tonight wouldn't look out of place in the MCC coaching manual. A back-foot forcing shot straight back down the ground earns him four. Delightful.
