The players are out in the centre. Pattinson will open the proceedings with the ball. There are two slips in place.
England made exactly 300 in the last game, but they will be chasing that total this time around. With Starc rested, let's see how John Hastings bowls today. We saw Ali and Rashid getting some turn from the pitch, but Agar was left out for this game in place of Marcus Stoinis, who is also a medium-pacer. The onus in the spin department will now be on Maxwell. Let's see whether Australia can win the series today or whether England take the series to the final one-dayer at Old Trafford.
Just in the nick of time though, Liam Plunkett picked up two wickets in a single over before Hastings and Wade gave a fine exhibition of power-hitting. Australian pacers might get the new ball to swing and it won't be easy to overhaul this target. Remember, despite losing the last game at Old Trafford, Australia lead the five-match series 2-1.
Earlier, David Willey, playing in his first game of the series, accounted for the first three wickets to fall. He swung the new ball both ways and dented Australia's top-order. However, Bailey and Maxwell held the innings together. Maxwell, in particular, checked in a wide array of shots. He took a heavy toll off Rashid and tonked him for two sixes and a four in his 4th over. However, it has to be said that he was dropped twice in his innings. On the other hand, Bailey played a steady hand. He mainly looked to pat the ball into gaps and keep the scorecard ticking.
Glenn Maxwell and George Bailey notched up fine fifties to pilot the tourists to a substantial total. However, England to some extent pulled things back by taking a cluster of wickets around the 40th over. In fact, if it wasn't for those lusty blows from John Hastings and Matthew Wade, the visitors could have fallen apart. The duo put on an enterprising stand to lift Australia's spirits. Wade even cracked a vital fifty.
When Australia lost three wickets for 5 runs around the 40-over mark, things were not looking promising for the visitors, but this brilliant 50-ball 84-run partnership has given them a very good total. In fact, these two scored 77 runs in the last 6 overs.

Phew! We've had a cracking game today and England's fantastic win has forced a decider now on Sunday. Both teams return to Old Trafford, where they played the third ODI, to lock horns for one final time in the series. Morgan has said that the momentum is with his side, while Smith has voiced that his side will be working hard to win the series. The atmosphere is going to be electric. You won't want to miss out on the action. Looking forward to your company then. Take care, goodbye!
Morgan: "It's a hugely significant chase. We were confident at the halfway stage. It was a great chase. Moeen Ali batted with a cool head. It was great to see, it is always comforting having guys down the order that can play well. We had Australia at 30/3, which wasn't expected as the wicket was dry. We didn't expect it to swing as it did, but he (David Willey) certainly took advantage of the conditions. I have said before that we need a group of players moving forward and we don't want to be relying on three or four bowlers. We need to improve our death bowling. We don't have a Lasith Malinga or a Mitchell Starc. I am happy with my batting. I have had a bit of luck along the way, but I am making it count. The momentum is with us, we are growing in confidence. We'll have to assess conditions when we get to Old Trafford again and play accordingly."
Eoin Morgan is the Man of the Match for his run-a-ball 92
Smith: "Very disappointed to lose the game. I thought our middle-order batted well today, it was tough to recover from 30/3. Bailey and Maxwell played well and it was a magnificent partnership, but it would have been nice if one of them got a hundred. No one has got a hundred for us so far in this one-day series. And then the finish from Hastings and Wade was very good. 300 was probably around par I guess. In our bowling, we didn't get the ball in the right areas, the first and last ball of most overs went for four, so that really cost us. If we had more wickets in the shed, we probably could have got to 320-330, but we did well to get very close to 300. The ball was moving around early on. Probably we have got to be more watchful at the top. I don't think it spun as much as it did for them. It's a final now, so both teams have to turn up and play well. We need to play their spinners well. We want to win every series we play."
With the bat, Glenn Maxwell and George Bailey cracked fifties as the visitors made a smart recovery after they were in a spot of bother at 30 for 3. They lost their way a bit around the 40th over, especially with Bailey and Maxwell getting out. Wade and Hastings' powerful blows though, took them to a very good total. For the hosts, David Willey picked up three wickets. The final game of the series will be played at Old Trafford on Sunday. Hopefully, it will turn out to be another cracker of a contest and give fans their money's worth.
At a crucial juncture of the match, Morgan shifted gears and landed decisive blows. The way he used his feet to thump Hastings over the long-on region for a six in the 35th over exemplified his dazzling batsmanship. For Australia, Cummins bowled with pace and aggression and was rewarded with four scalps. It has to be said that Australia's attack seemed to be one-dimensional.
Earlier, after Cummins sent Alex Hales packing back to the pavilion, Jason Roy and James Taylor essayed breezy knocks to resurrect England's fortunes. However, both of them were dismissed in quick succession. Morgan and Stokes then played with a touch of calm countenance to keep England in the game.
England's batsmen played with a dash of fearlessness to win a keenly fought contest and square the series 2-2. It was Eoin Morgan, who proved to be the fulcrum of the batting line-up with a sterling innings of 92. He got good support from Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow. On their part, Australia struck in the slog overs at regular intervals. Moeen Ali though, held his nerve to guide the hosts to a crucial win. In fact, Matthew Wade dropped Moeen off Pat Cummins and that proved to be a costly miss. At the other end of the spectrum, Maxwell took a couple of screamers.
The crowd is elated, a few are dancing in the stands. The Prime Minister of United Kingdom, David Cameron, applauds England's effort as well. The two batsmen and the Australian players shake hands with each other, Morgan now leads his team out to shake hands with their opponents.

P Cummins to Plunkett, out Caught by Maxwell!! If his catch to dismiss Morgan was great, this is spectacular. My word! He was so cool under pressure, despite being so close to the rope. Wicket number four for Cummins. Good length delivery on the stumps, Plunkett goes for a slog and mistimes it completely, it went high up in the air, Maxwell jumped at deep mid-wicket and reverse-cupped it, but he was too close and was falling back, he released the ball before he stepped beyond the rope, then recovered quickly, ensured that his feet were off the ground and grabbed it again with his left hand before jumping back in. He made it look so easy there. Pretty needless shot from Plunkett. Is there a twist in the tale? Plunkett c Maxwell b P Cummins 17(10) [4s-2 6s-1]
P Cummins to Plunkett, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Stoinis to Stokes, no run, clear edge but doesn't carry. Slanted across the left-hander, Stokes slashes at it and the toe-end goes to Wade, who wasn't sure with his appeal. But Stoinis was confident and Dharmasena after discussing with Gough went to the third umpire. Replays were evident that it bounced in front of Wade. Lucky escape for Stokes
Stoinis goes up for a caught behind shout. But did it carry? Smith has reviewed it. Umpire Dharmasena consults with umpire Gough and they send it upstairs. Not sure if this is Australia's review. Looks like the umpires themselves have sent this upstairs. Anyway, "It is a fair delivery. Can you go to front on spin vision please? Split screen please? Is that the best you have? Front on to finish. Kumar there is enough evidence to suggest that the ball bounced. It is not a fair catch," says third umpire Joel Wilson.
