England v Australia: Highlights from the fifth ODI at Old Trafford

Catch up with all the action from the fifth and final ODI between England and Australia at Old Trafford.

England edged out Australia by one-wicket in a topsy-turvy finale to the ODI series at Old Trafford.

Click on the video above to watch highlights as Australia crumbled from a rip-roaring start, which saw them smash 58 from the first five overs, to be bowled out for 205 in 34.4 over, before Jos Buttler's stunning century then fired England to a nail-biting win.

The start of England's run chase mirrored Australia's somewhat frenetic innings, as they slipped to 27-4, with strapping fast bowler Billy Stanlake (3-35) doing the bulk of the damage.

Nasser Hussain is joined by Eoin Morgan who discusses the impact of Jos Buttler's innings in todays game and how England progressed in this series agaist Australaia.

But, in strode Buttler, and though England slipped further into disarray at 114-8, his superb unbeaten 110 off 122 balls saw England to victory, clinched with a four fired through the offside with nine balls to spare.

Earlier, Moeen Ali (4-46) started the procession of wickets in the Australia innings by taking two in three balls in the seventh over to dismiss Aaron Finch (22) and Marcus Stoinis for a duck, after Finch and Travis Head (56) had got the innings off to a blistering start.

Debutant Sam Curran (2-44) repeated the trick later in the innings in removing Alex Carey (44) and Ashton Agar - inexplicably leaving a straight one - within two balls of each other, after having leaked 25 runs from his first two overs in ODI cricket.

Nasser Hussain is joined by Tim Paine to discuss what has been a very difficult tour for the inexperienced Australian side.

Adding to Buttler's star showing, he brilliantly ran out Australian skipper Tim Paine (1) - turning and throwing down the non-striker's stumps with lightning reactions - and affected a stumping to get rid of Shaun Marsh (8).
