England captain Harry Brook achieved a milestone by scoring his first one-day international century in a crucial match against Australia, leading his team to a 46-run victory via the DLS method.
Chasing 305 in the third ODI, England reached 254-4 with Brook unbeaten on 110 before rain stopped play in the day-night fixture at Chester-le-Street. The teams did not return to the field, and England was declared well ahead according to the run-rate.
Australia, which previously claimed dominant wins in the series, saw its 14-match ODI winning streak ended. Brook's exceptional innings, including 13 fours and two sixes, started with England in trouble at 11-2 but turned the momentum in their favor.
