In a stunning display, Travis Head scored an unbeaten 154 runs, setting a record for the highest ODI innings by an Australian in England during the first ODI at Trent Bridge.

This remarkable performance led Australia to a seven-wicket victory over England, allowing them to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.

Despite missing key players due to injury and illness, Australia's bowling attack effectively restricted England to a total of 315 runs, with the last eight wickets falling for just 102 runs.

The Australian bowlers, including part-time spinners, played a crucial role in dismantling England's batting order after a solid start.

England's innings featured notable contributions from Ben Duckett, who scored 95 runs, and Will Jacks, who added 62, but their total was deemed below par.

Marnus Labuschagne supported Head with a solid 77 not out, forming a crucial partnership of 148 runs that propelled Australia towards their target.

Head's innings was particularly impressive as he hit 20 fours and five sixes off 129 balls, reaching his century in just 92 deliveries.

Adam Zampa, playing his 100th ODI, took three key wickets for 49 runs, helping to dismantle England's batting order after their aggressive start.

This victory marks Australia's 13th consecutive win in ODIs, showcasing their dominance as the reigning world champions.

Looking ahead, both teams are set for more competitive matches in the remaining four ODIs, with the next match scheduled for September 21 at Headingley.

After the match, Head acknowledged the challenging start but credited his teammates for their support, reflecting on his years of hard work.

England's interim coach, Marcus Trescothick, praised Head's batting skills while noting the team's struggles to maintain pressure during the match.
