    "editor1": "<p>Adelaide, Jan 26 -&nbsp;Australia put up an all-round show to avoid a whitewash and defeat England by three wickets in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at the Adelaide Oval here on Friday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe hosts who have already conceded the five match ODI series to England, showed some resistance in the fourth tie to bring the series at 1-3.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter being asked to bat first, the Australian pacers rekindled memories of the Ashes with a devastating new ball spell to reduce England&#39;s hitherto unstoppable batting line-up to 8\/5.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFinding appreciable nip off the seam on a lively surface, the pair nobbled four of England&#39;s top six for nought, with Jason Roy the first to go, driving loosely to his second delivery from Hazlewood.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRoy&#39;s dismissal provoked a collapse that was less about English over-zealousness than Australian rampancy.&nbsp;Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales and Jos Buttler, with three runs between them, were all blameless victims.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Joe Root, perhaps, will look back regretfully at his top-edged pull shot to his seventh ball, though he may also point to his average of 72 since the start of 2017.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the circumstances, England&#39;s lower order were able to mount an impressive recovery.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEoin Morgan and Moeen Ali stopped the rot, before Chris Woakes, whose emergence as a genuinely influential No.8 in ODI cricket continues apace, smashed his second-highest score in the format to date, his 78 from 82 balls featuring five sixes.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEngland&#39;s final total of 197 all out in the 45th over represented a seriously under-par score.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn response, Australian opener Travis Head -- returning to the team in place of the injured Aaron Finch -- scored 96 runs which was the standout innings of the match.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the other hand as all the players around him lost their heads, Head kept his.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDavid Warner, Cameron White and Steve Smith could only muster 20 runs between them, before Mitchell Marsh&#39;s counter-attacking 32 from 30 balls wrested the initiative back in the home team&#39;s favour.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralia were always just ahead of the game yet familiar anxieties kept threatening to break through. Head&#39;s dismissal, caught at mid-on off the decidedly slippery Mark Wood, was swiftly followed by Cummins running himself out, leaving Australia seven down and still 12 runs shy.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAmid mounting tension, it was left to Tim Paine, who has enjoyed a triumphant return to Australian colours and who kept wicket immaculately again today, to steady the nerves, clattering successive boundaries off Wood to ice the match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt may have come too late in the series, but Australia, on its national day of celebration, will be mightily relieved to have swerved the dreaded whitewash.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>Brief Scores:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England 196 (Chris Woakes 78, Tom Curran 35; Pat Cummins 4\/24) against Australia 197\/7 in 37 overs (Pat Cummins 96, Mitchell Marsh 32; Adil Rashid 3\/49)&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Image - Cricket Australia Twitter Account<\/p>\r\n",
