Man of the match Dawid Malan: "I don't know what the secret is, but it's working so far.
"I don't know if it's because the bowling is more consistent, or the pitches are better, but it's a fantastic learning opportunity.
"This white ball team has been the strongest England have ever had. i don't know where I slot in.
"I thought we were 15 light, probably one partnership away from getting to 175-180."

England captain Eoin Morgan: "The bowlers really came good in the last eight overs. It's always difficult coming in, under lights, pressure on, on a slow wicket.
"Today we went with a batter less, which proved very valuable in the second innings.
"Tom Curran followed on from a fantastic winter. It's great to see him calm in execution in the past few overs."
'Once you play England, it's different'
Australia captain Aaron Finch: "We knew England would keep coming hard and we probably struggled to find the boundary in that 12- to 18-over mark. That's something to work on.
"I would probably be more critical of myself and Davey, who got us off to a good start but couldn't go on to make the match-winning contribution.
"Obviously it would have been ideal to get over the line, but England are a good side.
"We had a couple of great hit-outs against each other, but once you play England, it's a bit different."

To lose in that fashion, with that turnaround, will leave a few annoyed people in that Australia dressing room.

In hindsight, this was pretty poor from David Warner...

I can barely believe I've seen that. It was a remarkable turnaround. Australia were absolutely cruising. To pull off that victory was astonishing.

I wouldn't want to be a bin in the Australia dressing room right now. Justin Langer will be giving it a right kicking.
How's stat?!

That is the first time England have defender a target under 180 since 2016.

For 34 of the 40 overs Australia were bossing this game. This England side believe they can win from anywhere.
