England's seamers have dominated in Australia's innings in a text-book display of quick bowling limiting the visitors to just 200 in the fourth one-day international.
Steven Finn was the star performer in England's attack and had two hat-trick chances. The first came in the sixth over as he took David Warner and then Peter Forrest with successive LBWs, leaving the Aussies on 6-2.
Australia's slow scoring continued as they reached 10 overs with just 15 runs.
Shane Watson and Michael Clarke made a handy partnership to pull Australia off the ropes before Watson gave away his wicket in the 19th over.
At 25 overs Australia were only scoring at a rate of three an over, and were 75-4 at the innings halfway point.
Finn's second hat-trick chance came in the 33rd over, dismissing Clarke then Matthew Wade with Australia rattled on 96-6.
Then came a strong partnership between David Hussey and Brett Lee, the pair pulling the Aussies to 166 before Lee was dismissed.
The bowlers managed to take a couple more wickets but the Australians hit several boundaries of the last few overs leaving England's batsmen with a comfortable but higher-than-expected target of 201 to win.
