England win by 93 runs and the series is back to 2-1. A impressive all-round display where England took advantage of winning the toss. James Taylor's maiden hundred anchored the innings, helped by Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan, then the spinners came to the fore. Rashid and Moeen were outstanding, as was England's fielding after a careless start in the first couple of overs. Australia lost their way after Smith and Finch fell to Rashid and quickly faded away. I'll bring you the presentation shortly.

Steven Smith "They got a few too many, we have away a few opportunities in the field. We dragged it back quite nicely. With the bat, the middle overs cost us. The wicket was getting a bit slower and it took a bit spin. We'll have to find ways to adapt. Thought Ashton bowled nicely on debut. And Maxwell has come a long way with his bowling. When you are chasing 300 you can't get too far behind the rate."

Eoin Morgan "Very impressed. We impressed in the areas I asked the guys for. Jason Roy played his game, strong down the ground. Me and James Taylor managed to get a nice partnership going. Probably got 20-30 than we would have liked, but knew the pitch would play into our hands. We want guys to make matchwinning contributions and James Taylor did that. I thought they [the spinners] were outstanding. We knew the new ball would set the tone because it was easier facing the new ball so Steve Finn was really impressive, then for the two spinners to bowl with such control I was not surprised but very impressed. There were some outstanding catches. [On Finn] He's like a leaping salmon at midwicket. Known him since he was 15 and never seen a catch like that."

The Man of the Match is James Taylor. "From a personal point of view it's always nice to put in a matchwinning performance. Conditions were tough, but Morgy played an exceptional knock which allowed me to knock it around. I knew I needed to kick on for the team, the man on my shoulder was telling me to play the big shot but knew I couldn't do that."

And that wraps it upfor tonight. It's all to play for at Headingley on Friday. We'll see you then. But for now, from Gnasher and Alan, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us,
