Marsh collects the trophy as the Aussies pose for the cameras along with it. That's all from our side folks. It was a pleasure bringing you the live coverage of the five ODIs over the last couple of weeks. Harry Brook played some breathtaking knocks throughout the series, however, Australia came up with a collective team effort to topple the England captain's heroics. Head played some lovely knocks too. Was a fun and entertaining series at the end of it. One that was worth watching. For now, it's a goodbye from Nikhil, Abhinand, Siva and Anurag. See you soon!
Marsh: They were on track for a big total. But our bowlers assessed the conditions well, it was a fantastic effort by them to bounce back. We need more bowling options and need to make sure the batters don't settle. Needs to continue. Five ODIs in 12 days is always going to be a challenge. We had some experienced cricketers who led the way. We have a lot in the tank, those trophies are hard to win. We look forward to Pakistan in a few months' time. We have emphasised on the young guys coming in, we have many players waiting to play for Australia in future.
Brook: Nice to get some runs on the board and contribute in wins. Haven't played much, but have just tried to get a tempo of ODI cricket. It's not just the present, we are thinking of the long term. It's a new and entertaining brand of cricket we are playing. Duckett has done well. Jacks are done well. Carse, Archer and other seamers have put the pressure. Rashid is world class. Captaincy has been good, something I might think of doing in the future, for now I think Jos is the one to do it. We have to go above and beyond.
Head | Player of the Match, Player of the Series: Would have liked to go (and play some better knocks) in a couple of games, but it was a good opportunity. Moving really well, would like to add one good score. Just relaxed. I am moving well, doing things well and enjoying this environment. I think we have played well forever, especially in this format. We need to make sure we get up and running.
