So England win by 15 runs and beat Australia at Lord's for the first time since 1997. Eoin Morgan's innings setting up a solid total that they have defended comfortably in the end...Still four games to come in this series starting on Sunday at The Oval, join us then for all the best live coverage but goodbye for now...

slapped into the off side the come back for two
length ball, a heave and a miss and England have all but won
inside edge behind square on the leg side to a length ball
Three sixes and a one required...
length ball drilled down the ground
Five fours needs...
steps to leg, gets hit on the body, they charge a run, Finn can't hit the bowler's end stump so they take a run
So Finn to bowl the last over of the game, with 21 to win, this would be something outrageous for Australia to pull this off...
Broad follows Lee's shuffle to leg and gets it through his legs
Find the fence Brett...
outside off, slapped off an inside edge just wide of the bowler
off stump and blocked into cover
Still just about alive the Aussies...an edged four would make it interesting...
wide outside off and that's a wide
a heave towards the leg side goes straight through Steve Finn on the 45, they take three out to the long leg boundary, Finn does well to save second time around
26 from 10...
slapped down the ground to long off
back of a length, tucked to backward square leg and that should win the game with Douherty on strike
28 from 12 balls, still in touch Australia, needs some heaving though...Broad to bowl his last...
blocked on off stump
length and pushed down the ground to long on
fired in and it comes off the a very fine bat and runs away for four past the 45
ran out through point on a length
swept off off stump to the 45
back of a length and an thin edge put down by the keeper, tough tough chance
34 from 18 runs so it will take a miracle...
