England v Australia: Ravi Bopara stars in Old Trafford victory

England strolled to a seven-wicket win over Australia at Old Trafford to complete a 4-0 series victory.
Set a revised target of 138 from 29 overs, England got home with 11 balls to spare thanks to a stand of 92 between captain Alastair Cook (58) and Ravi Bopara (52 not out).


Australia had earlier been restricted to 145-7 from their 32 overs - the game originally shortened after rain delayed play until 17:30 BST.
The defeat completes a miserable tour for the visitors , who were spared the threat of a 5-0 whitewash when the third one-day international at Edgbaston was abandoned.
That denied England the chance to claim the clean sweep that would have taken them to the top of the world rankings, but Cook's men have the comfort of having now racked up 10 successive ODI wins - a team record.  (BBC.co.uk)
