Australia vs England 2018, 1st ODI - Hits and misses

Hit: Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch scored his ninth ODI century and his second in his last five 50-over games, to leave England chasing a target of 305 in series-opener in Melbourne.

After being sent in to bat by Eoin Morgan, Finch (107) combined forces with Mitchell Marsh (50) to bring up a 118-run partnership as the hosts reached 304/8 from their 50 overs.

Interestingly, the Australian opener has faced England thrice at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and on all three occasions, he has ended up scoring a ton.

The 31-year-old, who brought up his century off 112 balls, also became the joint fourth-fastest Australian to score 3,000 ODI runs.
