AUS VS ENG - 1st ODI, England tour of Australia, 2018

How do you put that in words? Just a mindblowing performance. It's helped England open their account in this whole tour of Australia and they've started this ODI series on the right note. They've started it on a breathtaking note. So that's all from us here. I've been Sagar Chawla, and on behalf of Hariprasad and Mukesh, it's a goodbye!

Morgan: Thought it was incredible from Jason. He's come off the back of a tough summer but finished it incredibly well. Really does summarize the character of the bloke. Leaving him out was a tough decision. Always knew he would be part of our plans. Our batting lineup looks pretty long. 300 these days isn't a huge total to chase down. Wasn't a huge task. It was surrounded by Jason, but no doubt, someone else would have put their hand up if not.

Jason Roy, Man of the Match: Incredibly special. Don't have too many words right now. Hales wasn't too happy about that by the sound of things (his record being broken). Like I said, really honoured to be selected. Been a tough season last season. Hopefully it was just a blip, fingers crossed. Didn't really know what to do in celebration to be honest, just really happy. We had good fun out there. Hand should be fine.

Smith: That was some innings from Roy. Didn't give us a chance. Chanced his arm, came off tonight. Well supported by Root as well. We were after 340-350. Weren't able to do that. And they got off to an absolute flier. Would have been nice if Finchy was in for a bit longer. These balls haven't been swinging much. You just gotta keep hitting good areas. We weren't able to do that. Patty might be having a rest (talking about Brisbane). Hazlewood might be back. That would be good.

England couldn't have made a better statement after the Ashes drubbing. This isn't that team. This is a team which plays with flair, and it will keep coming after you. Stunning performance. More from the presentations..

22:09 Local Time, 11:09 GMT, 16:39 IST: What a special knock we've witnessed from Jason Roy tonight to help England complete their highest successful run-chase in Australia. In fact, this is only the second time that a 300-plus score has been chased in Australia. This wasn't a flat track. It had life in it in terms of pace and bounce - as highlighted by all the wickets which England lost - and to score 180 while chasing is a phenomenal effort. The way he met fire with fire against Starc and Cummins with the new ball, sending it flying everywhere, that was the defining phase. It set Australia back to such an extent that they never could recover. Roy didn't stop there. He made it count and how. He had Root for company as his shadow. You barely noticed him, despite the fine 91 which he made. It was all about Jason Roy. Take a bow!

Stoinis to Buttler, out Caught by Starc!! Takes on the short ball, but gets it straight off the top-edge and the ball lobs down fine leg's throat. Never looked comfortable with the bounce there. England losing late wickets but they're sure to get home. Buttler c Starc b Stoinis 4(10)

Stoinis to Buttler, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Stoinis to Root, 1 run, back of a length around off, stabbed away in front of backward point

Stoinis to Root, no run, superb timing on this flick but straight to short mid-wicket

Stoinis to Root, FOUR, full in the slot, Root takes the initiative and lofts this straight back down the ground. Not quite the timing he'd have wanted but it trickles away into the ropes
