England vs Australia, 4th ODI at Leeds, , Sep 11 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

So, from 0-2 to 2-2 in the time it takes to cross the Pennines. England and Australia reconvene at Old Trafford on Sunday for a very tasty decider.

Ribhav Bansal: "Stat Alert : This is only the fourth successful chase by England in their ODI history when they are chasing a target of 300 or more. The last two instances have come in the last 3 months." Chapeau

So, Australia paid the price for resting the tiring Mitchell Starc. Pat Cummins' at-times-fearsome pace earned him four wickets but the support cast was lacking today. Eoin Morgan, as fresh as a daisy after his recent break with Middlesex, top-scored for England with 92 and everyone after Alex Hales at the top of the order chipped in with something for the cause.

Reaction from the ground to come, where Andrew "Gnasher" McGlashan has plenty to get his teeth into. But in the meantime, here's an illustrated story that I lovingly prepared for you between overs (you're welcome). And Brydon Coverdale's match report will miraculously update here shortly.

Steven Smith is disappointed that Australia couldn't defend 300. "It was around par I thought but with our bowling we didn't get enough balls in the right areas. The first and last balls of overs often went for four."

"it did a little bit this morning, similar to Lord's, we've just got to be a little more watchful and make sure we have wickets in the shed for the late onslaught."

"it's a final now, both teams have to turn up and play and we'll be up for the channels. We'll have to play their spinners better. The boys have to pick themselves up and make sure they are ready to go."

Eoin Morgan is understandably named as Man of the Match for a run-a-ball 92. "A hugely significant victory," he says of chasing 300. "To come out and have contributions from the majority of the team was a great chase. Always comforting having guys down the order who can play well and have experience."

So, that is that. Tune in on Sunday for what promises to be a thrilling finale, in which England have the unexpected chance to seal victory over Australia in all three formats this summer. All the more reason for their arch-rivals to rally themselves and deny them.

Aman: "It was a fair catch, because the new rule states that, the first contact with the ball must be in the field of play, and he must not be in touch of the boundary cushions while he is in contact with the ball. And he managed to do both the parts well. Perfectly Legal!!" Here endeth the lesson

David Cameron is still in the crowd. Given his earlier comments about Yorkshiremen, he probably feels obliged!

thecricketnerd: ""Fetch that and bowl me another" is something Thor would say as he wielded Mjolnir as a bat." That is actually a make of bat these days too

Brian: "Wrong, wrong, wrong! Maxwell, having gone out of bounds, must step foot in play before he can take a catch. He did not. It was six." I believe that rule has changed because, well, why not?

Jack: "Maxwell competing with himself for catch-of-the-year"
