Records and numbers from England’s historic win over Australia

It was raining fours and sixes for England in the third ODI against Australia. Batting first England took the steering wheel from the start and never looked out of control. Courtesy centuries from Alex Hales (147) and Jonny Bairstow (139) and half-centuries from Jason Roy (82) and Eoin Morgan (67), England posted a record-breaking total of 481 for 6 and in pursuit of the target, Australia never got going and were bundled out for 239 in 37 overs. With this win, England have got an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the 5-match series.  

2 - Andrew Tye became the second Australian bowler to concede 100-plus in an ODI. The only other bowler to do so is Michael Lewis who conceded 113 off his ten overs against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2006.

4 - This is the fourth instance of a team putting 150-plus partnerships for each of the first two wickets in an ODI. India did it twice - against Sri Lanka in 2009 and against Australia in 2013 - while South Africa did it against Windies in Johannesburg in 2015.

6 - Hundreds scored by Bairstow - all at a strike rate in excess of 100. Only AB de Villiers (25) and Ijaz Ahmed (10) have scored all their ODI hundreds at a 100-plus strike rate. Shahid Afridi has also scored six centuries all a strike rate above 100. This is Bairstow's fourth century in his last six innings with his scores reading 138, 104, 105, 28, 42 and 139 (last).

62 - Balls taken by Hales to reach his hundred - the sixth fastest in ODIs for England and the fastest for them against Australia. The previous fastest was achieved earlier in the match when Bairstow reached his century off just 69 balls. There is only one other ODI where two batsmen scored centuries in less than 70 balls in the same innings - Corey Anderson and Jesse Ryder against Windies in Queenstown in 2014.

242 - Margin of win for England - the biggest ever for them in an ODI eclipsing the 210-run win against New Zealand in Edgbaston in 2015. It also happens to be the heaviest defeat for Australia in terms of runs beating a 32-year old record when they lost by 206 runs to New Zealand in Adelaide in 1986. The only other 100-plus run win for England against Australia came way back in 1977 in Edgbaston when they won by 101 runs.

5443 Runs scored by Morgan is the most ever by an England player in all ODI cricket. He went past the previous record held by Ian Bell who had made 5416 runs from 161 matches. In addition, Morgan has scored 744 runs for Ireland from 23 ODIs between 2006 and 2009.
