Australia wobbled early after electing to bat in Adelaide. Aaron Finch was dropped twice but could not capitalise as Stuart Broad bowled him with a sharp indipper•Getty Images

Michael Clarke was the next casualty as he went for an ill-advised pull. •Getty Images

Matthew Wade struggled early on and was opening up when he was bowled around his legs to end a 55-run partnership with Bailey•Getty Images

But the charge never came as Chris Jordan picked up two in two in the final over and Australia were limited to 9 for 217•Getty Images

Nathan Coulter-Nile broke the 61-run stand, dismissing Cook with one that did not come on to the bat•Getty Images

Faulkner accounted for both batsmen to bring Australia roaring back•Getty Images

Shane Watson survived a review only to nick off the very next ball and Australia were 22 for 2•Getty Images

But George Bailey kept Australia afloat •Getty Images

Bailey went on to make his first fifty in five matches, but was out trying to up the ante, leaving Australia at 6 for 167 in the 41st over•Getty Images

England's chase got off to a rocky start as they lost two quick wickets, but Alastair Cook remained resolute•Getty Images

Eoin Morgan arrived and set a completely different pace and his busy innings boosted England's hopes of victory. Only 64 was needed off 86 balls•Associated Press

The crowd got into it as Ravi Bopara was consumed by a freakish stumping and the equation became 9 off 8 with only one wicket in hand. Shane Watson put the final nail in the coffin as he had James Tredwell caught behind •Getty Images

Ben Stokes hurt the hosts' recovery with three timely wickets •Getty Images

James Faulkner made a run-a-ball 27•Getty Images
