ENG VS AUS - 5th ODI, Australia tour of England, 2018

Champagne is splashed everywhere as England rejoice with the trophy. Eoin Morgan's team keeps looking more and more impressive everytime you see them. Can they be stopped? India's visit next month will give the answers. That's it from us here. Until next time, goodbye!

Morgan, England captain: Massive positives to take from today. The fact that we bat all the way down the order means that only one of us has to come off while chasing a low total. Today was quite mesmerising, Buttler playing at the top of his game. At times we do (take him from granted). He's forced his way back into the Test team which is very exciting. We'd be naive to think that we shouldn't ask questions of ourselves. The fact that we won was a bonus. We have to be open and honest though. First time we failed as a group with the bat in this series. Up until today, we've progressed nicely. Bowling has come a long way. The way we fought back today was awesome. Great atmosphere at the end. They've been absolutely brilliant, no doubt they were our 12th man today.

Paine, Australia captain: We've certainly been taught a lesson from a world-class outfit. We had them under pressure; Rashid and Jos played really well but we didn't get enough balls in the right areas. We probably got a touch wide at the start of their partnership. We saw earlier that when Billy hit the stumps a lot more, we created chances. They played outstandingly well. Felt we were in trouble at the halfway mark. Our bowlers came out and committed really well to create chances in the first hour. Even today, Alex Carey and Short are two really good young players who played really well. Senior players let us down. There's some real talent in this group. It's been difficult but it sort of goes with the job. If I'm honest, I let the pressure get to me in this series. Clearly when you're not performing, things are not as fun at the international level.

Buttler, MoM and MoS: We were determined to win 5-0. We bowled fantastically well. Didn't quite click with the bat. But games like that, to win them is even more enjoyable. Just needed a partnership. One of our great strengths is the depth in the batting. Adil Rashid at ten is handy. I did say (to Ball) "if it's two we'll run, if it's one we won't" and then charged out, so that wasn't ideal. Great guts from Ball too to soak up that pressure. I don't think I've played better. It's enjoyable.

17:36 Local Time, 16:36 GMT, 22:06 IST: Great scenes out at Old Trafford as Jos Buttler basks in the glory of a stunning knock. England had no business winning this game from 114/8. But Buttler yanked them back from the dead, with the knock of his career. The belief with which he played that innings was just unbelievable, epitomized by his refusal to take that single which would've tied the scores. Adil Rashid played his part in that 81-run stand, but this win was all about Buttler. There've been some blistering efforts from him which have made our jaws drop, but this was something else, something special. As for Australia, if they weren't able to win this one, then well.. That must be demoralising. They had Billy Stanlake ripping through England's top-order, Kane Richardson following up in the middle, but it wasn't enough? What, really, is enough against this England team?

Stoinis to Buttler, FOUR, a sensational win for England as Buttler punches this away through the covers. How has he pulled this off? Just how? Australia shellshocked as they leave the field after a 0-5 whitewash

Stoinis to Buttler, no run, back of a length delivery on middle, shuffles across in the crease but settles on a solid defence

Stoinis to Buttler, no run, back of a length delivery on middle and leg, clipped to deep midwicket. Oh he hasn't taken the single. Scores would have been tied had he gone across. He's backing himself here. This is so gutsy

Marcus Stoinis [8.0-0-33-2] is back into the attack

Two runs more. Buttler has it in his hands now, no more relying on Ball

Kane Richardson to Buttler, 1 run, single. Punches this full toss down to long-off

Long-on, long-off and three fielders on the leg-side boundary. Single or boundary?

Kane Richardson to J Ball, 1 run, slips into the pads this time and Ball flicks this away behind square. There was an easy two on offer there, but Buttler refuses it. The two batsmen come down to have a chat

Kane Richardson to J Ball, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, chopped to point. Hold your breaths

Kane Richardson to J Ball, no run, another yorker length delivery, slightly wider of off, Ball digs it out again

Kane Richardson to J Ball, no run, that's a cracking yorker, tailing in late towards off, but it doesn't have the pace to burst through Ball. Squeezed away to cover

Kane Richardson to Buttler, 1 run, punched down to long-off, and well, they've taken the single. Puzzled faces on the England balcony. Buttler himself throws his head back. He probably ran across thinking there was two there, but there wasn't
