After a competitive T20I series, England and Australia will switch formats as they gear up to clash in a 3-match ODI series in Manchester this week. The Aussies have not played a single ODI game in the last six months, while England recently beat Ireland 2-1 at home.

When England and Australia played in Manchester the last time, Jos Buttler's century helped the hosts chase down their arch-rivals' target of 206 runs. Chasing a modest target, England got reduced to 114-8. However, a match-winning partnership between Adil Rashid and Buttler meant that the Three Lions snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

The deck at Old Trafford has been good for batting, but in the 2019 Cricket World Cup semifinal match last year, New Zealand defended a target of 240 runs against the Indian cricket team on this ground. However, in the group stage, multiple teams managed to cross the 300-run landmark in Manchester.

With Old Trafford set to host all matches of England-Australia ODI series, here's a look at some significant numbers from the previous ODIs played at Manchester.
