Eoin Morgan praises England trio after Australia victory

England captain Eoin Morgan hails the contributions of James Taylor, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid in the one-day victory over Australia at Old Trafford.

England captain Eoin Morgan has hailed the performances of James Taylor, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid in Tuesday's 93-run victory over Australia in the third one-day international.

Nottinghamshire batsman Taylor notched his first ODI hundred at Old Trafford, while spinners Ali and Rashid took five wickets between them as Australia were bowled out for 207 in reply to England's 300.

When asked about Ali and Rashid's contributions, Morgan told Sky Sports News: "I thought they were outstanding.

"I think it was set up by the start, we knew the first 15 or 20 overs with the new ball was going to set the tone for us with the ball because it was a lot easier on this particular wicket facing the new ball.

"I think the games we've played so far the top score before that was 85 so we want guys to make match-winning contributions and James Taylor managed to do that today."

Australia lead the five-match series 2-1 ahead of the fourth ODI, which takes place at Headingley on Friday.
