A quick finish at the Gabba today has Australia and England with more than a good chance of playing the final of the tri-series. However, they will meet at Hobart before that. Plenty of stuff to come from this match - match reports, analysis and videos - see if you agree with our experts. We will be back again soon. Thanks for your comments and feedback. Ciao ciao.

"Outstanding. We really put a team performance, which I was delighted with, " says Morgan. "And there were individual performance. Steve Finn got that bounce and made most of it. Jimmy set the tone with an early breakthrough. If it swings, he tends to take advantage. It adds a hell of a lot of weight to the side. Australia very strong side at the moment, we will continue to concentrate on what we do well."

"I don't think we batted well, especially after choosing to bat, " says Dhoni. "The wicket was a bit two-paced to start off and our batsmen did not really play well. We needed to build partnerships, but that did not happen. If a ball is there to hit, you should, but if it needs to be defended, you should watch out. By the time you need to accelerate, there aren't any wickets left. We have to use whatever time is left before the world cup in a useful manner. Staying four and a half months away from home is difficult, but we have to switch on and switch off. We need to switch on and assess what needs to be done in the nets, or wait in the hotel if the need be."

6.54 pm England would be chuffed with this! This was a one-sided affair, with the match finishing within 70 overs.. All set up by a fantastic bowling performance from Steven Finn, who completed his five-for, and a rousing comeback from James Anderson. The two combined to pick up nine India wickets, using the Gabba bounce to devastating effect. Once they had bowled out India for a below-par 153, it was only a matter of time. Ian Bell and James Taylor, who were both out in the first over against Australia, then used the opportunity to get back into form and crossed the line without any hiccup.

Bell was closing in on his 5000 ODI runs, but he will have to wait for the next match. It's England's largest win against India in terms of balls remaining. The huge win has given them a much-needed bonus point. India, on the other hand, will need to win both their games and keep an eye on the result of the Aus-Eng game. India's wait for a win in Southern Hemisphere, starting from SA last year, goes on...

Muhammad Tanwee: "I dont think Bell had any idea about the 5000. otherwise, there were lots of overs to have given him a chance to get there. Great inning though."
