Will Jacks says England's new-look one-day side need time to get to grips with a format they rarely play after beating Australia to keep their five-match series alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jacks hit a brilliant 84 as he and centurion Harry Brook led the hosts to a rain-affected win in Durham on Tuesday following victories for the world champions in the two opening games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Without seasoned campaigners such as Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow -- all of whom played in England's triumphant 2019 World Cup campaign -- the host nation are relying on a new generation in the current series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Brook and Jacks have had scant exposure to the 50-over game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Neither has featured in county cricket's One-Day Cup since 2019, with leading white-ball players routinely skipping the tournament following the advent of The Hundred, which added to an already packed calendar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"With the lack of 50-over cricket that we play now, finding that tempo can be difficult," Jacks, 25, said before another must-win clash at Lord's on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Of course it is difficult. The schedule only allows what it allows and that's for people above us (to determine). We just go where we're told. I think when you're leading up to a major event, you are going to play more but with the way TV is... no, that's out of our control.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"This is our first time together as a squad so it's going to take time to get there but we're progressing every game and hopefully when we come back next time we'll be one step further."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite his inexperience -- just 32 List A appearances in the six years since his debut - Jacks has impressed in the 50-over game, with four half-centuries in 10 one-day internationals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following heavy defeats at Trent Bridge and Headingley, England won the third ODI at the Riverside by 46 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method for weather-affected matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
