The fifth and final ODI between England and Australia is set to get underway on Sunday (today) at the County Ground, Bristol. Australia won the first two matches of the series by seven wickets and 68 runs, before England hit back in Durham with a 46-run win on the DLS method.

The hosts then managed to level the series with a win in the fourth ODI. In a rain-shortened 39-overs-a-side match, they thrashed Australia by 186 runs to set up an exciting finale. But will the weather allow the series decider to take place?
