Mark Wood to begin. He starts full outside the off stump of both Australia openers.

First up, D'Arcy Short jams down to squeeze a single and then, second ball, Travis Head check-drives for three through extra cover. Short then muscles a single to the right of mid-off, which is followed by a leg-side wide from Wood. The Durham seamer finishes with a dot.

A reminder that just yesterday, Alex Hales admitted that he was feeling the heat with regard to keeping his place in this England team given Ben Stokes is yet to return.

“I’ve got to try and get my place back. That’s up to me. [Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy] have come in and done really well since the West Indies series. Jonny’s been knocking the door down for a few years now and every time he got a chance, he took it. I guess now I’m in that position where I’m on the fringes and any chance I can get, it’s up to me to convert big runs and put some pressure on those two” 

 Fittingly, Hales brought up England's latest world record with this mow.

Hello all. Charlie Morgan here. That was utter carnage. I'll be with you for Australia's effort at chasing down another world record score posted by England's dominant batting unit.

On Sky Sports, Ricky Ponting has been speaking about when South Africa chased down 434 to beat his Australia side in 2006. John Buchanan, then Australia's coach, had continually told his team that they would rack up 400 at some point. The players used to laugh incredulously about the prospect of reaching such a landmark.

Well, England will now know that 500 is within their reach...which sounds ridiculous. Here, courtesy of ESPN Cricinfo, is the list of the highest scores by a team batting second in a one-day international. Greedily, England have a few of these as well.

England have posted the highest score in ODI history, surpassing the benchmark they set at Trent Bridge two years ago by 37 runs. Eoin Morgan became England's highest ODI runscorer and celebrated by hitting the quickest ODI fifty by an England player, off 21 balls. They posted three century partnerships of 159 for the first wicket, 151 for the second and 124 for the fourth. England's batsmen hit 21 sixes and 41 fours while AJ Tye became only the second Australia bowler to be taken for a century.

Thanks for your company. Charlie Morgan will take you through the Australia innings. They need 482 to win. 

Root collars a length ball but not with the middle of his bat  and takes the single to long on. Moeen drives to long off and they steal the second on the throw. Moeen drives to cover, the ball so wide he loses his grip, and they take two then a single to cover. Enter Willey, a clean hitter, who should have come in before Root, and he manages a single off the last ball which pushes AJ Tye into three figures with 9-0-100-0.

Moeen run out 11Sawn off by Root's inability to connect and time it. He swung and missed and Moeen decided to try to take the strike for the last ball and Paine rolled the ball to knock down the stumps. FOW 480/6

The new batsmen and Australia's belated switch to variations of pace and wide yorkers put paid to grandiose thoughts of 500. Moeen is caught off another above waist high full toss from Stoinis. No wicket and a free hit - which Moeen tries to flick but doesn't touch it with his bat. It flies off his pads for four leg-byes. A Stoinis slow bouncer is called wide when it balloons over Moeen's helmet. Stoinis ends his day with a dipping slow full toss that Moeen cannot reach. Stoinis licks his wounds with 8-0-85-0. 

Moeen comes in ahead of Root but he is joined by the Test captain batting at No7 when Morgan follows Hales back into the hutch after a partnership of 124. Well bowled Jhye Richardson who ends with 10-1-92-3

Morgan c Paine b Richardson 67Another steepler of an attempted leg-side mow goes straight up. Paine calls for it and pouches it when it finally leaves the stratosphere about where leg gully would be. FOW 459/5

Hales c Agar b Richardson 147He had betrayed signs of tiredness over the last few overs and finally falls slogging a full delivery to deep midwicket. He cleared his front leg, fell over to the off-side slightly and sent a steepler so high that it came down with rain on it. FOW 458/4

AJ Tye, Australia's death bowler supreme, has been flogged to death but he turns to Plan D which should have been Plan A, bowling wide yorkers to Hales which keeps him honest. The luck goes with England when Tye yorks Hales but the ball whistles past the off-stump and they run a bye. Hales is caught off a full toss that catches his gloves but was above waist height so it's a no ball and a free hit.  Morgan wallops the free hit down to midwicket where the fielder stops it on the first bounce and they run a single. 

Which poor soul will bowl next? Paine puts the black handkerchief atop his head and calls for Richardson. And the condemned man is picked up by Hales off his pads and deposited into the crowd at deep backward square for six to set a new world record, taking England past 444. He began the over with a whipped pull through midwicket for four and  Morgan takes a single off the last ball to post the 450. 

Tye falls into the trap of bowling at full pace to Morgan who smacks a flat six over long on that Maxwell dives for but can't reach and hurts himself as he lands on top of the rope. Morgan carts the next to cow corner for another enormous six. It's absolutely ridiculous. Tye retaliates by bowling wide yorkers at Hales and ends his seventh over with these figures: 7-0-86-0. Thirty balls left. Thirty! It's definitely on. 

Eoin Morgan overtakes Ian Bell as England's highest ODI scorer when he smacks Stoinis's slow bouncer for six, thrashes his attempted yorker back over his head for four then straight drives the next for another straight six. He's got 49 off 20 balls and takes a single off the next to third man, diverting a yorker with the bottom of his bat, to beat Jos Buttler's 22-ball half-century as England's fastest. Hales drives two down the ground and ends the over with a pull for a single. 

Hales drives two to the cover sweeper and two down the ground, sprinting back for the second. He takes a single with another cover drive then Morgan picks up Richardson's attempted yorker that he didn't land and thrashes it over midwicket for six. Richardson responds with a slow bouncer that Morgan gets on his tiptoes to pull downwards and the crazy bounce sends it spinning past the diving fielder like a carrom counter for four. Richardson opts for another yorker and Morgan drives it through mid-off for three to raise the 400

Stanlake replaces Richardson and Morgan fetches his back of a length delivery from outside off-stump and cuffs it through midwicket. Hales reverts to his baseball stance to hit the longest six of the match, creaming a length ball of 88mph high over midwicket and into the brickwork halfway up the stand. 

Morgan punches through the covers for two but  direct hit gives Hales at the non-striker's pause for thought. The umpires ask their TV colleague to check but he was home. A very floaty full toss reaches Morgan at chest height so England will have a free hit that Hales, the batsmen having run a single off the no-ball, can't dispatch. It was another yorker outside off. Tye bans one into Morgan to round off the over and Morgan pulls it for six, slapping it on the backside and telling it to send his fondest regards to Worksop.  

Richardson with his clever rag bag is happy to be milked only for singles at this stage and even manages a couple of dot balls until the last ball, a wide yorker, that Hales strikes at the limit of his reach as he took a step to leg and chops it through third man for four. 

Another tight over from Agar, though he goes for eight, including a wide. Morgan and Hales work the ball into the legside with a series of cuffs and flicks. 

Nine an over here on in will give England a world record ODI score, beating the one they set here against Pakistan two years ago.  Buttler, their strike-rate leader, won't be the one to take them there. Morgan is almost run out without facing a ball but the throw from Agar missed as he dived to make his ground. Hales brings up his sixth ODI century and first for 22 innings with his ugliest shot, a short-arm pull that takes the glove and sneaks under Paine's dive. 

Buttler c Finch b Richardson 11Finch takes a horrible steepler at wide long on after Richardson holds his nerve and bowls three successive slow balls out of the back of the hand to Buttler to mes with his timing. FOW 335/3

A relatively tight over from Agar, going for two twos and three singles. 

Stanlake pitches up to Hales who flicks it off his legs, tantalisingly close Maxwell at deep midwicket who dives but just misses it, and it goes over the rope for four. Stanlake sees Buttler shaping for a ramp, bangs it in even shorter and it's called wide as it balloons over Buttler's head. The next is short but fuller than the last and Buttler absolutely larrups it with  pull, not rolling his wrists, and dispatching it to the back of the midwicket stand. 

What an extraordinary innings from Bairstow. Everything's 'brilliant' these days, but it does deserve the highest praise for the devastating power of his hitting and placement. In the last 10 months since he became a first-choice batsman, he has made 100*, 141*, 138, 104, 105 and 139

Bairstow c Richardson b Agar 139Good catch, three yards in form the midwicket boundary by Richardson who held on as it dipped quickly, having made good ground to get there. It was very much a slog off a drag-down. FOW 310/2

Where does Paine turn? Billy Stanlake from round the wicket. Hales opts for a tall, upright baseball stance because leg-before is out of the equation. Hales flogs the first over midwicket for six and then slugs the next with venomous power for four through square leg. That's the 300. Sensibly Stanlake comes back over which forces Hales into his orthodox stance. Twice Hales pulls from short balls outside off that sit up high with trampoline bounce and smites them high off the bottom edge for successive twos to midwicket.  

Bairstow sweeps Agar for four to the short fine leg boundary but Agar tehn recovers to exert some control on the batsmen who take singles with an offside punch, a leg-bye and two through midwicket.  

This is an assault with malice aforethought by these two on Tye. Bairstow thrashes him off the back foot through cover for four, Hales slogs him with an agricultural heave over middwicket for four more, thick edge cuts him for four through third man then pulled hard through midwicket for the fourth four of the over. 'Causing carnage in the car park,' as Tony Greig used to say thought it sounded more like 'Corsing cornidge in the co pork' in his thick Queenstown drawl. 

Hales brings up his fifty off Agar with a six that was heading towards Derby before it dropped out of orbit. He came down the track and chipped it sweetly high into the stands. Bairstow then punches a lofted drive down the ground that is stopped smartly with a headlong dive but these two hares run three. Bairstow flicks a sweep just short of the man at short fine leg and they run a single, Bairstow cursing how close he came to throwing it away. Hales, too, premeditates a sweep but improvises when Agar drops short and pulls it instead, one knee heading down on to the grass as he did so. Never seen a shot like that before. Something out of Michael Bentine's Potty Time.  

Bairstow creams a flat six over deep extra, the shortest boundary and when the ball comes back it has a a chunk of leather the size of a 50p piece ripped off and a deep gouge. The umpires agree to replace it, which takes a little time.  The replacement does no better for Stoinis, Bairstow pulling the next from about a foot outside off-stump for four through midwicket. It never got up above mid thigh height but he still managed to fetch it with a cross bat. 

Agar comes back into the attack and causes Hales the most grief he's faced today, beating him with one that turns away and strikes him on the back pad, though missing the stumps. Good over, bowling to his field. Just two singles. 

Hales looks in a devastatingly good nick, too, lofting Stoinis over extra cover for four. Four singles and a two complete the bowler's punishment. Do you think the World Cup grounds next year will all be told to prepare pitches like this? 

Tye continues but his back-of-a-length pat-a-cake ball sits up and Bairstow slaps it through point for four with a flashing cut. Hales pulls hard, top-edges for six and a chap in a Southern Cross cap takes the catch for Australia in the crowd.  If the pitch had been in the centre of the field, it would not have not gone over the rope but because there's a short side, Hales' heart wasn't long in his mouth.  

D'Arcy Short, Australia's eighth bowler, continues for a rare successive over. left-arm spin over the wicket. A couple of single precede Bairstow bringing up his hundred with a steepling six over deep midwicket. That's his fourth ODI ton in six innings. Hales ends the over with an on-drive, sending the wristspinner's stock ball whistling past him for four.  

The previous two overs were brought to you by Ben Coles. Thanks, Ben. Paine risks leaky Tye again and he uses variations of pace and length to repair his figures and keep Hales and Bairstow honest. Hales, particularly, can't get his timing right with all the slower balls, and Tye gets away with giving away only a single. We're halfway. 

D'Arcy Short on to add some spin, three singles follow. Bairstow goes for the sweep but misses, gets a chat from the umpire for running down the pitch.

There's six more for Bairstow, a genuine whack towards cover. He adds a single to round off.

Nice and wide to Hales - well, that's what Hales is thinking - as he creams another four away to point. Bit slower from Richardson on the next couple, better line as well to subdue the batsman, plays and misses. One more for Hales, Bairstow round things off with a six! Scooped into the crowd.

Stoinis continues and though he's been Australia's best bowler so far, Hales takes him to the cleaners, collaring a drive through midwicket and then crisply mugging a perfectly respectable length delivery and hammering it through cover for four. Four more with a dabbed late cut and a single down to fine leg. They're maramalising this attack on a bowler's graveyard. It's abuse. 

A seventh bowler - Finch with his left-arm spin. Bairstow and Hales take a single each then Hales ends the over with a slog sweep for four. 

Stoinis serves up a bouncer to greet Alex Hales on his home ground and he sways out of the way. Roy made 82 off 61 balls with seven fours and four sixes. Stoinis ends the over with three dot balls. All the talk of 500 on social media is far too premature. If they double this by 32 overs then you might start talking about it but it would still be a ridiculous task. 

Roy run out 81Chanced his arm once too often turning a sensible single into a very tight two. A good throw from Shirt catches him a yard shirt as Paine whips off the bails. FOW 159/1

Roy greets Tye's return with a glorious on drive for six, his fourth so far and then uses a more orthodox on-drive to drill two down to long on who should have kept it to one but can't stop these two antelopes coming back for two.  Roy posts the 150 with a controlled drive for one then Bairstow clubs a short ball through midwicket for four then leg glances for two. Tye ends the over with a dot ball as cover stops Bairstow's drive. Tye's figures are 2-0-27-0. 

Stoinis resumes after a rather long drinks break. He scrambles the seam to mess with Roy's timing and it almost works. Roy chips a mistimed drive for four but it nearly trimmed Finch's nails as he leapt at mid-off to try to snatch it with his right hand. The batsmen run hard to turn a couple of singles into twos and then Roy drops it at his feet and sprints a leg bye. Off his feet rather than at his feet. Roy overtakes his partner.  

Australia have had a word about Jason Roy taking too long between balls and for having changed his gloves too frequently already and the umpire seems to agree, telling him he can't change them again yet. Could be like the time Dean Jones told Curtly to remove his sweatbands. After the chat, Roy crashes a lofted drive off Stanlake over cover for four. Another fine stop by Finch at deep midwicket saves two and that will be drinks. 

Paine turns to a sixth bowler in only 16 overs, asking Stoinis to try to tie England down. A terrific diving stop on the midwicket boundary should give Australia good cheer as it saves two. Only that and a couple of singles mean it's a sound start from Stoinis. 

Stanlake returns. Roy absolutely flays a back-foot cross-bat scythe through mid-off for four then dabs a single down to third man. Australia will want to put crime scene tape around this pitch. 

Sensational shot from Roy off Maxwell, a T20 special clear the front leg towering flat bat carve for six. He moves to 50, too, off 41 balls and Bairstow ends the over with an enormous six over deep extra cover. 

Fifty for (not so) Young Jonny Bairstow off 39 balls with a crisp punch off Agar. The spinners and the end of the powerplay have stemmed the tide somewhat but after only leakin two singles, Agar pushes one across Bairstow who sweeps it off middle for four. 

Glenn Maxwell comes into the attack to bowl some darts. He gives it a fair old rip, turning it in orthodox fashion from off to leg and the right-handers milk a couple of ones and a two, whipping it with the spin off the back foot into the ring. 

Bairstow feasts on a slightly shorter one from Agar, slapping it through cover for four. He move sto 47 off 34 balls. 

Stoinis has a difficult chance with a steepler over his shoulder running back from mid-off. Bairstow cloths it high but even though Stoinis made good ground, he lost his bearings at the end and his lurch to grab it didn't come off, the ball bursting through his hands as it fell. Tye is then late cut for four and scythed square for four more.  Tye goes for 12 off his first over. 

Roy has some spray applied, shakes his hand and puts his glove back on. Bairstow is on strike to Agar and sweeps hard for four, leaning across his stumps to take it from outside off-stump. He then cuts hard for four but is pinned with the penultimate ball and given out and earns a reprieve. 

It was going down the legside and going over too. 

Bairstow lbw Agar- he was sweeping. Was it going down the legside? No bat certainly. 

Jhye Richardson continues and Roy climbs into a wonderful cover drive, creaming it unstoppably for four. Richardson scrambles the seam and bangs it in across Roy who swivels quickly and hooks him fine, but off the middle, out of the ground for six. Roy's third boundary of the over is a back-foot punch on the up through cover point for four. Roy is making hay but at the end of the over calls for treatment on his left thumb. 

Ashton Agar comes into the attack on the ground where he made his name (with the bat) in 2013. He starts with four dot balls, Australia's 12th in succession, as Roy can't get his timing calibrated. The answer is using his feet and down he comes to whip two through midwicket and a sharp single down the ground. The throw, to the striker's end, hits Bairstow and they could have run for a buzzer but decline to do so in a show of sportsmanship. 

Richardson continues to bang it in and gets one to fly over Bairstow's helmet. Could have been a wide but the umpire gives him the benefit. The tactic is pursued for the rest of the over and his reward is a maiden. 

A present for Roy, wrapped in a red bow by Stanlake. It's overpitched and on his pads. Roy glances it for four. The next two he pulls, the first off a top edge goes over midwicket, bounces 6ft from the rope, and trickles over for four. The next is pulled flat and hard over square leg for six. Then comes the review that is not so much fruitless as bitter fruit for Australia though it was an excellent decision from Kumar Dharmasena. 

There was a noise but it came off his right thigh pocket. Australia lose their review. An absolute snorter of a delivery. 

Roy c Paine b Stanlake - given not out. Australia went up convincingly but the umpire was unmoved. 

Better from Richardson who has varied his length and banging it in now, having been punished for width. He starts with five dot balls then Bairstow sets himself for the pull, rocks on to the back foot in a flash and whips it over deep backward square for a two-bounce four. 

Stanlake easily hits 90mph consistently and is proving difficult to collar. Roy drives hard and gets a thick edge down to third man. Would have been four but for Tye sticking an old-fashioned fast-bowler's boot on it. They run two but that's the only damage from the over. Roy middles the other five but the fielders save the bowler.   

Jhye Richardson takes the other new ball (one from each end these days) and Bairstow tucks in, pulling hard at one that's back of a length, mistiming it and bludgeoning round the corner for two. The next is gorgeously timed, though, smeared off the front foot past the bowler for four. Richardson pitches up, strays wide of off stump and Bairstow broomhandles it through point for four, stretching for it and drilling it off the bottom of his bat. England's opener ends the ahastening over for Richardson with a third boundary, steering it through midwicket. He shaped to on-drive then twisted his writs to ping it wide of mid-on.  The pitch is an absolute road. 

Billy Stanlake, who was plenty of wheels. will open the bowling. The pitch, as viewed from the Radcliffe Road End, is to the right of centre, making the legside boundary invitingly short. Both Roy and Bairstow clip singles down to fine leg. Stanlake sticks to a full length with his stop-start action. There's a Bumrah pause in the wind-up. Straining for the yorker he serves up three low full tosses. He reaches 92mph with no movement through the air. Roy drills an off-drive down the ground for two. 

New Zealand 349/7 (Eng won by 7 wickets)

It's a belter. 

England have named their squad for the T20 tri-series against Australia and India and both Currans are in it:

Eoin Morgan (Middx) (capt), Moeen Ali (Worcs), Jonny Bairstow (Yorks), Jake Ball (Notts), Jos Buttler (Lancs), Sam Curran (Surrey), Tom Curran (Surrey), Alex Hales (Notts), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root (all Yorks), Jason Roy (Surrey), David Willey (Yorks).

Good afternoon and welcome to coverage of England's third ODI of the five-match series against Australia's second XI. Having won the first two - by three wickets at the Oval and 38 runs at Sophia Gardens - England have the opportunity to win 'the Royal London' cup at Trent Bridge with two matches to spare and eyes turned towards a whitewash for the first time since 2012, when Alastair Cook was captain and Ravi Bopara the best player.

Hold your horses, though, or 'Owdya orsuzz' as they say in Beeston, Engkand have lost the last two of these increasingly frequent home ODI series  against Australia so vigilance and apllication will have to be the watchwords even against this scratch side.

Why England are playing Australia at all, other than for an erroneous commercial calculation, is a puzzle to this correspondent. They have just played them in a five-match series in Australia, Pakistan, who were here and proved to be England's nemesis in the Champions Trophy and, with their bowlers, pose a far bigger threat in the World Cup next year, would have sold as many tickets and given England a chance to test themselves against reverse swing, mystery spin and canny batting.

Of course beating anyone clad in Australian gold is always a boon to the Englishman but you have to wonder whether, despite two defeats, this experience for their young players will do them more good next year than the home side.
