    Well played England and well played Eoin Morgan for juggling his bowlers perfectly. But most of all, well done Tom Curran - to finish it off with an inswinging yorker is brilliant.

    ENGLAND WIN BY 12 RUNSpublished at 48.2 overs

    Paine b Curran 34 (247 all out)

    Curran has done it! Bowled him!!!

    It's quick, it's full and it's too good for Tim Paine. The bails go flying and Tom Curran sprints off in celebration.

    What a performance. Curran ends with 5-35 and has won this game for England.

    A full yorker. Dot. Paine turns down the single.

    Over to you Tom Curran. Eoin Morgan has a long word with his charge ahead of the first ball.

    I've loved every moment of this game - the new ground has been outstanding. The pitch and outfield have been a credit to the curator.

  6. Aus 247-9published at 48 overs

    Need 13 from 12 balls

    Tim Paine gets his single on the final ball of Ball's over to keep the strike.

    That could be crucial. Australia favourites now with Paine on strike?

    This ground is bouncing now.

  7. Aus 246-9published at 47.4 overs

    Need 14 runs from 14 balls

    Six! What a shot from Paine. A scoop down to fine leg that goes all the way.

    The crowd believe again.

  8. Aus 240-9published at 47.3 overs

    Need 20 from 15 balls

    Short from Ball and edged by Paine for four!

    Jake Ball is digging into all his energy reserves here.

    Peter Golton: Meant to go running about 3 hours ago but the cricket is too good. Come on England!

  11. Aus 236-9published at 47 overs

    Need 24 from 17 balls

    The floodlights have taken over now. It's always more tense under the lights.

    Paine smashes the ball out into the deep but he turns down the single! Brave from Tim Paine. He's backing himself.

    Whenever Tom Curran has put on an England shirt, he's shown a lot of character and skills. He's delivering on the big stage just how he does for Surrey. He's playing with energy and spirit. He's fitted in seamlessly.

  14. Aus 236-9published at 47 overs

    Need 24 from 18 balls

    Brilliant from Tom Curran. He's just bowled a over costing one run with a wicket at the death.

    Jake Ball is going to bowl his last over next up. This could be the crucial one. Does Paine go big now?

    Paul Gore: I really think one-day cricket is a great format. Tests always best for me but I think one-dayers mean far more than the T20s, a more meaningful format. This game like many other recent ones is a cracker!

  16. Aus 236-9published at 46.4 overs

    Josh Hazlewood marches out. 24 from 21 needed.

    Make that 24 from 20.

    Curran beats Hazlewood outside off stump but there's no edge.

    Zampa b Curran 11 (Aus 236-9)

    Bowled him!!

    Full and straight and Curran knocks over Adam Zampa. He runs off in his trademark celebration, arms wide before he is mobbed by his team-mates.

    Is this the game Tom Curran really comes of age as an England cricketer?

  18. Aus 236-8published at 46.2 overs

    Two slower balls to start from Tom Curran. The first is a dot and then Paine gets a single.

    Zampa on strike.

    England's problem, if Jake Ball, can't bowl his final over is that their next in line - Joe Root - is hurting himself. He was hit in the chest while batting and is visibly holding his rib area as he warms up.

  20. Aus 235-8published at 46 overs

    Need 25 runs from 24 balls

    Ball's over goes for seven runs and he is bent over again at the end of it. He might be done here. Root might have to bowl one over.

    Curran is coming back. He's delivered once, can he do it again?
