England levelled the five-match ODI series against Australia at 2-2 after winning the fourth one-day international at Lord’s by 186 runs. This victory was one of England's largest wins by runs against Australia in men's ODIs, with notable performances including Livingstone's fireworks. However, in the fifth and final ODI in Bristol, Australia bowled England out for 309, thanks to Travis Head's career-best four wickets. Despite Duckett's fine century, rain interrupted the match, and Australia won by 49 runs via the DLS method, clinching the series 3-2. Matt Short's fifty and Australia being 158/2 before rain were crucial moments.
