Never has Lord’s hosted a one-day international so late in an English summer; the upshot was a delayed start and one-sided game that ended in temperatures below 10 degrees. And yet, while all these grumbles are true,

England annihilated Australia by 186 runs in a rain-shortened ODI at Lord's with Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone laying waste to the visitors attack before Matthew Potts took four wickets as the hosts tied the series at 2-2 on Friday.

Australia has won the toss and will bowl first against England in the fourth match of their ODI series at a cold and cloudy Lord’s.
