England vs Australia 2018, 1st ODI: Five Talking Points

England v Australia - 1st Royal London ODI
England have bounced back from their loss against Ireland with a three-wicket victory against their arch-rivals

#2 Strong response from the Australian bowling attack

England v Australia - 1st Royal London ODI
The seam bowlers, in particular, were brilliant on the day

Though the visitors fell to a defeat on the day, they have plenty of positives to take to the second game of the series. Their bowling attack showed vigour and vigilance on the day, making a small total look tricky and treacherous to the English batsmen.

The seamers, in particular, took advantage of the swinging conditions and were responsible for all the England wickets that fell on the day.

Billy Stanlake came back from injury in a roaring fashion and picked up right where he had left off for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Michael Nesser and Andrew Tye scalped a brace each as well, while Kane Richardson claimed the sole wicket of Johny Bairstow in the 8th over of the game.
