CRICKET: Australia Defeat England In Adelaide

England threw away a winning position as they crumbled to a five-run defeat by Australia in the fifth one-day international in Adelaide. Stuart Broad and Ben Stokes took three wickets apiece as the hosts were restricted to 217-9 on a slow pitch.

The tourists were cruising at 154-3 in the 36th over before Eoin Morgan and Joe Root (55) fell in quick succession.
Wickets continued to tumble as England were 212 all out in the last over to gift Australia a 4-1 series win.

The defeat sounds the final note of a dismal tour for England captain Alastair Cook, who will fly home before the teams contest a three-match Twenty20 series.
