Liam Livingstone Shatters Records in ODI Victory

Liam Livingstone delivered a remarkable performance in the fourth ODI against Australia at Lord's, scoring an unbeaten 62 runs off just 27 balls, including a record-breaking 28 runs in a single over against Mitchell Starc. This over marked the most expensive ever bowled by an Australian in ODI history, featuring four sixes and a four, contributing to England's total of 312/5 in a rain-reduced match. Harry Brook also played a crucial role with 87 runs, while Ben Duckett added 63. The victory by 186 runs allowed England to level the five-match series at 2-2, with Australia collapsing from 68-0 to 126 all out, ending their streak of 14 consecutive ODI wins. Livingstone's innings not only included the fastest fifty at Lord's but also tied the record for the most sixes in an ODI at the venue, previously held by Andrew Flintoff. This decisive win sets the stage for the series finale in Bristol on Sunday.
