Harry Brook | England skipper and Player of the Match: We started off really nice with the ball, with the bat me and Jacks tried to stay out there as long as possible and build that partnership. I definitely thought the pitch got better towards the end of Australia's innings. It's nice to get the first one off the board and hopefully many more to come. We're gonna keep on doing what we said we are gonna do and keep the group positive which will hold us in good stead.
Mitch Marsh | Australian skipper: Thought we did extremely well to get to 300. Carey and Hardie were outstanding towards the end. I thought 250 was par after the start, we certainly weren't in the game at the halfway mark. They obviously got a good partnership going and fair play to them, we will try to win the series in London. Anytime we miss him (Zampa) it is going to be hardwork and look forward to welcome him back in the coming games.
20:23 local, 19:23 GMT, 00:53 IST: A much-needed win for England. One that will spike their confidence levels for the rest of the series. All said, the toss did prove to be a key factor as well. The ground was under covers yesterday due to persistent rain which meant there was enough spice on the surface for the English bowlers to exploit and keep a lid on the scoring rate. Extra bounce, movement off the seam and in the air are among the key contributors that forced the Australian batters to adapt a dig-deep-and-play-safe approach. The lower-middle order injected a lot of momentum towards the end, but the surface just kept getting batter and under lights it proved to be a proper road. Starc removed both openers in his second over, but that was that for Australia's hopes. A 156-run stand between Jacks and Brook followed which pretty much sealed the deal for the home side. Although Jacks missed out on a well-deserved century, Brook notched up his maiden ODI ton and looked determined to stay till the end. Not rain though, it played hide-and-seek for a while and then displayed its true colors (read: heavy rain).
