Liam Livingstone's stunning 62 not out took England to 312-5 in the fourth one-day international against world champions Australia at Lord's on Friday after skipper Harry Brook just fell short of completing successive hundreds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England were 16 runs shy of 300 when Mitchell Starc began the final over of a match reduced by rain to 39 overs per side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Livingstone then hammered the left-arm fast bowler for 28 runs -- the most expensive by an Australian bowler in men's ODIs -- including four sixes in five balls, before ending the innings with a four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The big-hitting Livingstone faced just 27 balls in total, hitting three fours and seven sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Starc finished with hugely expensive figures of 0-70 in eight overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook, fresh from a match-winning maiden ODI century in the third ODI at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, came in with England faltering at 71-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But he responded with an exhilarating 58-ball innings including 11 fours and a six in a match England must win to level this five-match series at 2-2 ahead of Sunday's finale at Bristol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook received good support from opener Ben Duckett (63) during a stand of 79 after Australia won the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England lost Brook and Jamie Smith (39) in quick succession before Livingstone ran riot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They were 284-5 when the last over started only for Livingstone to drive Starc into the pavilion for six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And two balls later, Livingstone lofted Starc for six over midwicket and next ball drove him for another. The fifth ball of the over also went for six, courtesy of a monster pull before Livingstone scythed the last ball for four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England initially found runs hard to come by, with Josh Hazlewood bowling a superb second-over maiden to Phil Salt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia thought they had Brook out for 17 when another flick off Starc was taken down the legside by World Cup-winning wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, playing his first match of the series following injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following an umpire review, however, it was clear the ball had bounced into Inglis's gloves -- with boos ringing round Lord's as the replay was shown on the giant screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was the second controversial incident involving an Australia wicketkeeper at Lord's in as many matches after Alex Carey -- playing as a batsman only on Friday -- stumped Jonny Bairstow during an Ashes Test last year when the England batsman thought the ball was dead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Duckett completed a 51-ball fifty also including four fours -- the left-hander's second half-century of the series following his 95 in the first ODI at Trent Bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Adam Zampa's first two overs went for 21 runs but the leg-spinner removed Duckett when the batsman holed out off a slog-sweep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
