Travis Head scored an unbeaten 154 and Marnus Labuschagne contributed 77 not out as Australia successfully chased down a formidable 316-run target to beat England by seven wickets in the first of their five-match One Day International Series at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

Ben Duckett hit 95 before England was slowed by Australia's spinners to post 315 all out at Trent Bridge on Thursday in the first of five one-day internationals between the fierce cricket rivals. England would have hoped for more runs after being 211-2 after 32 overs.

The irrepressible left-hander blitzed his way to an unbeaten 154 overnight, the highest innings ever made by an Aussie batter in an ODI in England, as the depleted visitors made light of the illness and injuries in their camp to race to 3 for 317, reaching their target with six overs remaining.
