England v Australia fifth one-day international as it happened

Footie chants echoing round this famous old arena now, with four needed to win. Morgan launches the ball high into the Manchester night sky - is this the winnings runs? No, it lands just short of the rope and doesn't have the legs to roll over. Scores level.

Wow, amazing start for Eoin Morgan. There's nothing wrong with the ball from Hilfenhaus, but Morgan caresses it through the covers for four. As the French would say England are sur le brink...

Doherty drops one a bit short and Bopara sweeps hard for a welcome boundary. Cook is having a good swing now, but the Aussies are nothing if not game and Forrest dives full length to stop a pull shot reaching the fence. England need 24 from 30 balls.

Pattinson has changed ends and immediately induces a play and a miss from Cook. Bopara has a big swing and, for once, doesn't middle it, the ball looping just over mid-on for two. Another couple of runs follow via a drive on the off side before Pattinson is called for a wide as the ball sails miles over Bopara's head. A spicy old end to the over as Pattinson has a bit of chirp at Bopara, before keeper Wade weighs in with a few choice words of his own. Aleem Dar plays the peacemaker and it's as you were. 

Bopara is timing the ball beautifully here, making a very sweet sound every time he connects, and collecting two to deep point. "He's coming of age" says Vaughan on TMS. Cook is a tad less fluent, aiming a cut at McKay and missing.

Cook has a problem with his rubber, reveals Simon Mann on TMS, barely concealing a chuckle. It's the rubber grip of his bat handle of course, and it's all sorted just in time for the England skipper to turn a leg-stump ball from McKay down to fine leg for four. A single brings up the fifty partnership, with 26 to the skip and 25 to Ravi. A meaty pull from Bopara is fielded on the boundary, then Cook gets an inside edge onto his pad and the ball loops and lands just short of the onrushing McKay.

England are in the ascendancy here as Cook is all over a short one from Pattinson, pulling in front of square for the third boundary of his innings. A pushed single follows to give Ravi the last ball of the over, but he can only find short extra cover and it's a dot.

One to Cook via a sweep, then a nice little dab round the corner from Bopara for two. What a shot sir! Bopara's eyes light up at an over-pitched delivery and he slaps Doherty through the off side for four.

Bopara tries to pull a Pattinson bumper, holds the pose, but forgets to take the ball with him. Good pace from the young Aussie fast bowler and a smooth, rhythmic action, with the ball released from a very straight arm. His bowling is pretty straight too and it's just the two from the over. Australia need wickets.

Signs of a nice little partnership developing here for England with Cook and Bopara picking off four consecutive singles off Doherty. They are hanging in the Aussie slip stream, preparing for a sprint to the finish line.

Captain Clarke continues, with Bopara taking a couple, then a single through the off side. When Cook gets on strike, he rocks back and cuts for three, allowing Bopara to then play the best shot of the lot, a savage back-foot drive for four. If I made all of that sound easy, it looked it. England strolling.

Left-arm spin from both ends for the Aussies as Xavier Doherty continues from the half-built press box end, or whatever it's called. It's not easy for the Essex duo on a turning pitch and there's just one for the Bopper and two for Chef.

Clarke continues to keep England where he wants them, rattling through a tidy six balls and only giving up two runs.

Bopara uses his feet well to cut spinner Xavier Doherty for a single before Cook sweeps for one of his own. Then a lovely shot, a tickle round the corner, which requires am Olympic-style sprint from George 'Donavan' Bailey to prevent a boundary.

Ravi Bopara gets himself off the mark with a single off the last ball of the over. England need someone to stay there.

Michael Vaughan is testing the air on the balcony in front of our press box, offering the odd wave to punters. Out in the middle there's a bit of a narrow escape for Trott as he thrashes one in the air, but just short of mid-on. Michael Clarke's making a change. He's bringing on Michael Clarke.

It's been a busy little knock this from Cook if an unspectacular one thus far. Anyway he's on his toes, calling Trott through for a quick single. Pattinson then offers Trott a bit of width and he gratefully cuts through backward point for a boundary.

Just the one run off Hilf's latest, which includes a sharp bouncer which Trott ducks expertly. Aggers reports plenty of WAG presence in the Aussie team hotel last night - they are all off their hols after this apparently. Any suggested destinations for the chastened bunch?

The first ball after the restart is nurdled away into the leg side by Cook for a single to take his score to 14. Trott engages in his usual gardening at the wicket before pushing the last ball of the over straight to mid-on. By the way, with the over reduction, four bowlers can now bowl six overs and one bowler can bowl five.

Time to get a Trott on? I know just the man. He gets off the mark with a lovely steer behind point for two, then flicks the next ball off his toes to fine leg for four. 

This ground is a bit of a building site at the moment in preparation for next year's Ashes but it's great to see spectators squeezing into every half-finished nook and cranny. Cook pushed into the leg side, Bailey has a shy at the stumps and hits, but only succeeds in conceding another run. Rasping shot off the last ball of the over as Cook rocks back and drives powerfully through the off side for four.

Ben Hilfenhaus gets Cook in a bit of a pickle digging out a yorker from between his tootsies. There's a single off the last ball of a typically neat and tidy opener from the Hilf.

James Anderson is recalled to the attack to bowl the final over, which is also the final over of the batting powerplay. The Aussies steal a leg bye, then McKay pokes a single to square leg. A deadly accurate yorker from Anderson has to be dug out by Bailey, but when the Lancashire paceman serves up a half-volley, Bailey gets underneath it and hammers it high over long on for six. It flies into the crowd to be dropped by a man in a red jumper. Poor from you sir. Bailey ends the innings by clubbing four over long off - he ends with 46 from 41 balls, but surely Australia's 145-7 is not enough.

Stuart Broad switches ends, but is clipped square of the wicket on the leg side for four by Bailey then flicked fine for four more. A single brings new man Clint McKay to the crease and he gets a thick edge to third man for another boundary. A profitable over for the Aussies.

This is more like it from the Aussies, Bailey lofts a lazy cover drive from Tredwell over long off for six. Effortless stuff, he hit that miles with hardly any swing of the bat. I couldn't hit it that far with three goes. I suspect that might be end of Tredwell.

Cook finally pulls Bopara from the attack, replacing him with Stuart Broad. Bailey drives, Pattinson dabs, Bailey pushes and the Aussies take five singles from the over. The excitement is seemingly too much for the scoreboard - it looks to have packed in. Is that rain I see on the horizon?

We're into the last 10 overs, but any Australian acceleration may have to wait - they simply do not have enough wickets in hand. More good stuff from Tredwell, who, apart from his dropped catch, has taken the chance presented to him today. Three off.

It's still Bopara, a fully understandable move from Alastair Cook. The Essex man has proved very tough for the Aussies to get away. A cover drive from Bopara is so well stopped by a diving James Anderson that wicketkeeper Criag Kieswetter runs all the way from behind the stumps to tap him on the bottom. A touching moment. 

It looks quite chilly out there, the wind flutters a solitary England flag that is draped from the stand opposite me. Some spectators are hunched up with big coats, but others are keeping warm with medicinal, alcoholic methods. Bopara continues, just a single from it.

The rest of Bopara's over is on the money, giving only a single to new batsman James Pattinson.

Patel continues, an odd decision to keep him going considering how easy Australia are working him for singles? Six singles from the over.

George Bailey is the new man, he announces his arrival with a magnificent cover drive for four. The Aussies need something from this pair, there's not much batting to come.

There's a lot of sawdust around the edge of the Old Trafford square, a sign of the wet weather we endured earlier on. Patel, around the wicket, is milked for three twos by the right-handed David Hussey. That looked a bit too easy for the brother of Mike.

Another change for England, with Steven Finn switching back to the Brian Statham End. He overpitches to Smith, who drives handsomely down the ground for four, holding the pose as he runs. As a tram pulls out of Old Trafford station in the distance, Smith flicks a short one from Finn off his hips for four more. Good over for the Aussies.

So after that flurry of wickets, we have David Hussey and the excitable Steve Smith at the crease. I've been looking forward to seeing him bat again. England bring Samit Patel in to the attack, he's tidy, but five come from the over.

The Aussies take a couple of singles, then England shuffle their field with Anderson moving from slip to the covers and Ian Bell trotting to the boundary. Wade has only 11 from 14 overs, as well as being dropped twice.

This is better from Australia. Wade and Warner rotate the strike before the latter turns Anderson around the corner for four to long leg. A couple more singles make it nine off the over. 

Finn is bowling from the newly-named Brian Statham End - the square has been rotated as part of the extensive refurbishment going on. Behind the lanky Middlesex man is the building site that will soon be the new media centre, ready for the end of the summer I'm told. Finn produces a jaffa with the last ball of the over, it jags back in at Warner, who is lucky to inside edge for four past a diving Craig Kieswetter.

The stands are slowly filling up, but it does look chilly in that top tier - I salute the hardy souls sat up there. It's more good stuff from Anderson, going past Wade's outside edge with a rozzer that leaves the left-hander. Tricky for the batsmen.

The Aussies land a little blow of their own, David Warner unfurling a lovely straight drive for four down the ground past Finn. It's the sort of stroke that makes all who see it say "shotttt", like we know what we're talking about.

More good stuff from Anderson, the quality of England's new balls (there's two remember) bowling has been a feature of this series. Lancashire chief executive Jim Cumbes told me before the game that he expected the pitch to have some pace, but the ball isn't rushing through yet. A maiden.

There's plenty of natural light left at Old Trafford, but the floodlights are on as Steven Finn begins the second over. Twice Wade only connects with fresh air as he drives outside the off stump and responds by moving to bat out of his crease. Just one from it.

Wade, opening in place of the injured Shane Watson, is off the mark with a single, but it's tidy from Anderson. Some fans have obviously passed the time without play at the bar because they decide, in Manchester, that it's a good idea to chant "Yorkshire, Yorkshire." Boos shut them up.
