LIVE: Inglis bashes maiden ODI ton to guide AUS to record chase over ENG in Champions Trophy thriller

Australia vs England, Champions Trophy 2025 scorecard

Josh Inglis registered a maiden ODI century to shoulder a historic chase for Australia in a Champions Trophy thriller on Saturday in Lahore.

The five-wicket win marked the highest-ever chase by any team at an ICC white-ball tournament - the previous best having been Pakistan's 345 against Sri Lanka at the 2023 Men's Cricket World Cup.

Having been set a mammoth target of 352, Australia had lost star batters Travis Head and Steve Smith early in the powerplay. While Matthew Short and Marnus Labushchagne would bring Australia back into the game, adding 95 runs for the third wicket, Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone removed the pair to reduce Australia to 136/4.

Inglis would then combine alongside Alex Carey (69) to forge a 146-run partnership for the fifth wicket before Brydon Carse broke their stand.

But even with Carey out of the equation, Inglis continued to keep the scoreboard moving and saw through the chase alongside Glenn Maxwell, who came in handy with a quickfire cameo of 31 off 14 deliveries. Inglis went on to close the game with a maximum, finishing with 120 runs off 86 deliveries.

For England, Ben Duckett racked up his third ODI ton - highest-ever total in ICC Champions Trophy history - to put England on the offensive after early loss of wickets.

The southpaw forged an attacking hundred, comprising of 11 fours alongside one maximum to put England in the ascendancy with the highest-ever total in Champions Trophy history - 351/8.

Duckett's milestone knock against Australia:

Left-arm pacer Ben Dwarshius had struck twice in his opening burst in the batting powerplay after Australia put England in to bat first. Alex Carey would latch onto a sensational catch at mid-on to remove Phil Salt off Dwarshius in the second over of the innings to break the deadlock.

The keeper-batter, who isn't donning the gloves for Australia with Josh Inglish behind the stumps, was also in the thick of things as he grabbed Jamie Smith's catch to make it a brace for Dwarshius and Australia in the powerplay.

Former England skipper Joe Root then, compiled a resolute 158-run stand for the second wicket. Root stitched a patient knock of 68 from 78 deliveries and was looking on course to a first ODI hundred in almost six years when Adam Zampa struck.

Zampa traps Root:

The leg-spinner would trap Root leg before wicket to break the partnership and offer Australia a way back into the game.

Zampa delivered with the ball again shortly, this time to remove Harry Brook from the equation as Alex Carey snuck another stunning in-field catch.

England skipper Jos Buttler also didn't last long as Glenn Maxwell lured him with a fuller delivery that was latched onto in the deep by Nathan Ellis, reducing England to five down.

Duckett meanwhile, kept tickng the scoreboard from the other end, scoring the first-ever 150 plus individual score in Champions Trophy history. The southpaw was eventually dismissed by Marnus Labuschagne at the score of 165.

England were given added push by Jofra Archer towards the end, who nailed a quickfire cameo of 21 off 10 deliveries to close the innings on a high note.
