Trailing 2-0 in the seven-match series, England hope for a good start after winning the toss in Sydney but they do not get it as paceman Brett Lee traps Matt Prior leg-before for a duck in his opening over
Thanks very much, partner! England skipper Andrew Strauss can hardly believe it after a terrible call from Jonathan Trott results in him being run out for 23
England slump to 61-3 as Ian Bell plays too early at a ball from all-rounder Shane Watson, who takes off to his left to clutch a superb return catch
Having run out his captain, the pressure is on Trott ot produce a big score for England and he puts away a short ball from Doug Bollinger as he passes 50 off 62 balls
Eoin Morgan helps Trott add 57 before he is caught at mid-on for 30 but Paul Collingwood only manages a single before as he is bowled by a good delivery from Xavier Doherty (pictured) which clips the outside of off stump
Michael Yardy attempts a sweep shot but only makes seven before he departs, caught and bowled by Doherty, leaving England in dire straits on 130-6
Luke Wright is disgusted with himself after chasing a wide ball from John Hastings on 32 and edging to the keeper when England needed him to keep Trott company into the final overs
Brett Lee returns to pick up the wickets of Chris Woakes (caught behind, above) and Ajmal Shahzad for figures of 3-27 as England's innings totters towards an early end
Trott is left high and dry on 84 as England are all out for 214 but Chris Tremlett strikes an immediate blow with the ball as he beats Shane Watson's attempt at a lofted drive to send him on his way for nine
Shaun Marsh made a match-winning hundred for Australia in the previous game in Hobart but his hopes of a repeat are dashed when Ajmal Shahzad has him lbw for six
Michael Clarke's dismal form continues as he chips a catch to mid-wicket to give a delighted Chris Woakes his first wicket in a one-day international and leave Australia 59-3
Having failed with the bat, Paul Collingwood is under pressure to produce with the ball and he makes the perfect start when he wins a leg-before decision against the dangerous Cameron White
Brad Haddin hammers the ball through the covers as he reaches a half century off only 49 deliveries to keep Australia on course to reach their victory target
Haddin's departure for 54, caught in the deep off Collingwood, leaves David Hussey with the responsibility of guiding Australia home and he responds positively by spanking a boundary off Woakes
With the game seemingly slipping away, Chris Tremlett gives England a glimmer of hope by ending a 63-run stand between Hussey and Steve Smith when the latter loses his head and top edges a catch to Michael Yardy
England captain Andrew Strauss fears the worst after a despairing dive in the field as Hussey passes fifty and Australia move ever closer to their target
John Hastings hits the winning runs after adding 52 for the seventh wicket with Hussey, as Australia wrap up a four-wicket win with four overs to spare, and take a 3-0 lead in the seven-game series
