Travis Head's unbeaten 154 took Australia to an easy win over hosts England in the five-match ODI series opener, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Thursday (Sep 19). Chasing 316, Australia lost&nbsp;captain Mitchell Marsh early but were never behind in the run-chase courtesy of Head and his crucial partnerships with Steve Smith, Cameron Green and Marnus Labuschagne (77 not out). Notably, this win became Australia's 13th&nbsp;in a row in ODIs.

Early in the contest, Harry Brook-led England opted to bat first. Phil Salt departed early but Ben Duckett and Will Jacks (62) steadied the ship with a 120-run stand. While Adam Zampa removed Jacks, Duckett fell five short of a ton with Labuschagne chipping in with a vital scalp. The latter ended with 3 for 39 and Zampa returned with 3 for 49 whereas&nbsp;Head chipped in&nbsp;with 2 for 34.

Eventually,&nbsp;England posted 315 for 6 with vital contributions also&nbsp;from Brook (39), keeper-batter Jamie Smith (23) and&nbsp;Jacob Bethell (35).

In reply, Australia lost Marsh soon (10), with Matthew Potts giving England an early breakthrough. However, Head's free-flowing approach kept Australia in the hunt with the visitors being 69/1 after 10 overs. He formed a 76-run second-wicket stand with Smith&nbsp;and stitched another 73&nbsp;with No. 4 batter Green, with boundaries coming at regular intervals. Both Smith and Green departed for 32 apiece.

Head then forged an unbeaten 148-run fourth-wicket stand with Labuschagne as Australia closed the run-chase in 44 overs. Labuschagne struck at 126.23, scoring a 61-ball 77*. On the other hand, the swashbuckling opener's inning was laced with 20 fours and 5 sixes, at a strike rate of 119.38. This was Head's sixth ODI ton.

At the post-match presentation, Player-of-the-Match Head said, "(Is batting too easy for him?) It's never the case, got a bit lucky at the start. Jofra (Archer) bowled a hell of a spell but when you can get through it, there are runs on offer, especially on this outfield and pitch. We did well to keep it at 315, used different people. Then to survive the early spell from Jofra and build some partnerships was great."

With the win, the visitors have taken a 1-0 lead in the five ODIs, with the second game on Saturday (Sep 21) at Headingley, Leeds.

Eng vs Aus: Travis Head's 154* steers Australia to comprehensive win chasing 316 in 1st ODI, take 1-0 lead

Adam Zampa and Pat Cummins picked three wickets each while Ashton Agar’s out-of-the-world save made headlines in the series opener in Adelaide. 
Fifties from David Warner, Travis Head, and Steven Smith helped Australia beat England in the first ODI in Adelaide on Thursday by six wickets. While Travis Head made an impactful return to the ODI setup hitting 69, David Warner contributed with a crucial 86 too.

Bowling first after winning the toss Australia put the recently crowned World T20 champions on the mat by picking up early wickets. Returning Jason Roy failed again with Phil Salt and James Vince falling prey to captain Cummins inside the first ten overs. Though Billings and Buttler chipped in with 17 and 29 respectively, it was Dawid Malan who made the first inning about himself.

The 35-year-old made Ashton Agar struggle with his line and length and got after Zampa in the middle overs too. During his 134-run knock, Malan hit 12 fours and four massive sixes. Later, contributions from David Willey (34) helped England reach 287 for nine in 50 overs.

Australia started off well reaching 100 inside 20 overs without losing a wicket. In absence of recently retired Aaron Finch, Travis Head was roped in as an opener and he made the most of his chance. Pairing up with Warner, Head scored his 13th ODI fifty before getting out to Chris Jordan. Soon after, Warner, who looked in blistering touch, fell short of his hundred by just 14 runs. Labuschagne and Carey didn’t bother the scorecard much either and departed early.&nbsp;

Steven Smith who scored 80 gave the finishing touches with all-rounder Cameron Green hitting an unbeaten 20. 
With this win, Australia takes a one-nil lead in the three-match series. The next ODI is scheduled to take place in Sydney on Saturday, November 19th.

Australia thrash England by 6 wickets in Adelaide, take 1-0 lead in ODI series

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood is now in a race against time to be fully fit for the second Ashes Test in Adelaide starting from December 16. Though Hazlewood hasn't been officially ruled out but if he isn`t available due to mild side strain picked in first Test, then back-up pacer Jhye Richardson could be drafted in his place. 
 
"Josh Hazlewood has been flown home to Sydney on Sunday as he faces a race against time to be fit for the second Vodafone Ashes Test after suffering a mild side strain during the nine-wicket win in Brisbane. The 30-year-old didn`t bowl on the third afternoon at the Gabba and was sent for a scan on Friday night which showed he was at least fit enough to bowl on Saturday," read a report from cricket.com.au on Sunday.

Hazlewood becoming an injury concern came into light when he didn't bowl in the final session of day three during the first Ashes Test at The Gabba. The right-arm pacer returned to bowl six overs on day four and had Jos Buttler caught behind for 23 as Australia won by nine wickets. 
 
For Australia, losing Hazlewood's services will be a big blow ahead of the day-night encounter at the Adelaide Oval as has scalped 32 wickets at an average of 19.90 in pink-ball Tests. In last summer's pink-ball Test against India, Hazlewood was the chief architect of India being shot out for 36 in the second innings, picking 5/8 in just five overs. 
 
Captain Pat Cummins had said after the match that Hazlewood was a bit sore and that Australia will take time in deciding to make him play in second Test. 
 
"(It's) nothing too serious but didn't want it to turn into a huge injury. We don't want to put him in jeopardy for the whole series so we'll take our time. He's a little bit sore so we`re just managing him through -- it`s a five-Test match summer and he`s a key for us, so we don't want to blow him out on day two or three." 
 
If Hazlewood is unavailable for the Adelaide Test, then Jhye Richardson could be his likely replacement. The 25-year-old quick played two Tests against Sri Lanka early in 2019 and has been in outstanding form to start the Sheffield Shield season, picking 23 wickets at an average of 13.43 in four games for Western Australia.

But Richardson will face tough competition from Queensland pacer Michael Neser, who took 5/29 and 2/36 in Australia A`s 112-run victory over the England Lions at the Ian Healy Oval. 
 
Player of the match in the first Test, Travis Head, wicketkeeper Alex Carey and opener David Warner, who is doubtful for the second Test due to rib injury, also flew out of Brisbane early on Sunday ahead of the main players group flying out on Monday to reunite with their families in Adelaide.

Plenty of world-class players on show, should be a good series.'

Eoin Morgan - 'Looks like a good wicket, could be a bit tacky, hopefully, we will restrict them to a low score. Nice to have the senior players from the World Cup group back. The wind shouldn't be a factor, we just need to play our game. They are a difficult side to beat, we should be at our best to beat them.'

Two best white-ball sides going against each other in the ODI series is expected to be nothing short of a feast for cricket fans. While Australian captain Aaron Finch was clear that England are the ‘benchmark’ when it comes to limited-overs cricket, the swashbuckling batsman would know how dangerous his side is when everyone is on song.
