Live Cricket Score - Australia vs England, 1st ODI, Melbourne

That's all from us folks! Hope you enjoyed the coverage! We certainly enjoyed England's fight especially after the Ashes. Until next time then ...

Here's what the players had to say:

Morgan: Thought it was incredible from Jason. He's come off the back of a tough summer but finished it incredibly well. Really does summarize the character of the bloke. Leaving him out was a tough decision. Always knew he would be part of our plans. Our batting lineup looks pretty long. 300 these days isn't a huge total to chase down. Wasn't a huge task. It was surrounded by Jason, but no doubt, someone else would have put their hand up if not.

Jason Roy, Man of the Match: Incredibly special. Don't have too many words right now. Hales wasn't too happy about that by the sound of things. Like I said, really honoured to be selected. Been a tough season last season. Hopefully it was just a blip, fingers crossed. Didn't really know what to do in celebration to be honest, just really happy. We had good fun out there. Hand should be fine.

Smith: That was some innings from Roy. Didn't give us a chance. Chanced his arm, came off tonight. Well supported by Root as well. We were after 340-350. Weren't able to do that. And they got off to an absolute flier. Would have been nice if Finchy was in for a bit longer. These balls haven't been swinging much. You just gotta keep hitting good areas. We weren't able to do that. Patty might be having a rest (talking about Brisbane). Hazlewood might be back. That would be good.

That's that then! England canter to a five-wicket win at the MCG. This is the highest chase in an ODI as well. Roy scored a record-breaking 180 while Root stayed unbeaten on 91 to see the team through. Aaron Finch scored a dominating ton the first innings but Roy and Root were exceptional. It needed something really extraordinary to overshadow Finch and Roy came up with that. England have the early series lead.
