Travis Head scored a stunning unbeaten 154 as Australia claimed a convincing seven-wicket win over England in the first One-Day International at Trent Bridge on Thursday, reports BBC.com/sport
After England had collapsed from 213-2 to 315 all out, Head’s magnificent innings helped Australia to knock off the runs with 36 balls to spare.
The 30-year-old opener put on an unbroken 148 with Marnus Labuschagne as he made the top ODI score by an Australia batter in England, to take the tourists to their highest successful ODI chase in England.
The victory extends the world champions’ winning streak in ODIs to 13 as they took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series.
Labuschagne and Adam Zampa, in his 100th ODI, took three wickets apiece as Australia bowled only spin for the last 18 overs of the innings.
Scores: Australia 317 for 3 (Head 154*, Labuschagne 77*) beat England 315 (Duckett 95, Labuschagne 3-39, Zampa 3-49) by seven wickets.
