A brilliant knock from @sambillings but Australia take victory in the first ODI.

England were 57/4 at one stage and it was really difficult to predict that they would have managed to take the game as close as they did in the end. Jonny Bairstow who struggled massively at the start of his innings ended up finding his feet in the middle before getting out on 84 runs off 107 balls. Sam Billings was the star for England as he went on to score his maiden ODI century and took England really close in the run chase before getting out on the very last ball of the match for 118 runs off 110 balls.
A wonderful 💯 @SamBillings!! 🙌
