Harry Brook's reaction in the 34th over of England's chase said it all. Who cares? He does. The relief flowed after his maiden ODI century, a feeling you could apply more broadly to the last week, his central part in it and the situation his team faced at the Seat Unique Riverside.

Following Brook and Liam Livingstone's hard-hitting knocks, the seamers Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts took the centre-stage, sharing nine wickets among themselves to guide England to another confidence-boosting victory that levels the five-match series 2-2 and sets up an exciting decider clash at Bristol.

Brook had a reprieve on 17 when Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis claimed a grounded catch that was overturned on review.
