The rain arrived too late for England as Australia won the deciding fifth one-day international to clinch the series 3-2 on Sunday.

BRISTOL, England (Reuters) -Travis Head took 4-28 as Australia strangled England with spin before launching a rapid pursuit of their target with rain in the air to clinch the One-Day International series 3-2 following a 49-run win via Duckworth–Lewis–Stern in Bristol on Sunday.

Harry Brook looked on the bright side despite the forecast rain arriving too late to spare England from defeat in their ODI series decider against Australia in Bristol. The stage was set for England after coming from 2-0 down to level the five-match series at 2-2 and Ben Duckett’s sparkling 107 off 91 balls plus Brook’s 72 off 52 deliveries put them on top on Sunday.
