ENG vs AUS 1st ODI: Australia Wins by 7 Wickets, Head Shines with 154

Australia beat England by 7 wickets at Trent Bridge in the 1st ODI of the 5-match series. On a flat track at Trent Bridge, England won the toss and decided to bat first. Halfway through England’s batting, this decision was looking like a masterstroke, as England were 212/2 at one stage but, due to a mini-collapse, concluded their innings with a total of 315 in 49.4 overs. In response, Travis Head continued his dream run, as he smashed 154* runs off 129 balls to help Australia chase down a 316-run target. Marsnus Labuschagne assisted him greatly by scoring 77* off 61.
