Winning Streak to Continue?

England will look to continue their winning streak against Australia at the Oval, in the second ODI with Australia, as they search for the number one spot in all forms of the game....

With the rain affecting the 50 over clash with the West Indies at Headingley last month, it's not quite a perfect seven, but England have reigned supreme none the less over the course of their last few one day internationals.

Beat Pakistan by 130 runs (Abu Dhabi)

Beat Pakistan by 20 runs (Abu Dhabi)

Beat Pakistan by nine wickets (Dubai)

Beat Pakistan by four wickets (Dubai)

Beat West Indies by 114 runs (Rose Bowl)

Beat West Indies by eight wickets (The Oval)

Beat Australia by 15 runs (Lord's)

Australian captain Michael Clarke had to admit his side were dominated by England at Lord's, and hopes they can put things right at the Oval on Sunday.

"Morgan played really well, that's for sure," he told BBC Sport. "He helped England get to a very good total, and it was too good for us today unfortunately."

"We probably didn't execute our skills at the death as well as we could have. I think they took 80-odd off the last 10 overs."

"Then we lost wickets at important stages of the game, where we needed blokes to go on and make big scores."

"They outplayed us today in all facets. They batted better, didn't lose wickets at crucial times - and their death bowling and powerplay bowling was very good."
