ODIs review: English highs, Aussie lows

A look at the records and numbers to emerge from England's first five-match series whitewash against Australia

- Australia finish the series ranked sixth in the ICC's ODI rankings – their lowest ranking since 1984.

- This is just the second time Australia have lost six straight completed ODIs, after suffering the same fate in 1996.

- England spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid both took 12 wickets for the series, breaking the record for an English spinner, set by Graeme Swann (11) in 2010.

Whitewash 'stings' but Paine looks to future

- The result is England second 5-0 whitewash, after they trounced Zimbabwe by the same scoreline in 2001.

- It is also just Australia's second-ever 5-0 defeat, and second in the past two years after they were humbled in South Africa in 2016.

- Tim Paine's 36 runs are the lowest-ever for an Australia captain in a five-match ODI series. Steve Waugh previously endured the worst campaign, scoring 67 runs against Sri Lanka and India in 1999.

- England have now won 10 of their past 11 ODIs against Australia, their finest sequence of that many matches. Their best winning streak against Australia is eight, set from 1979-1981

- In the hammering at Trent Bridge, Australia fielded their least-experienced fast-bowling attack since 1978: Andrew Tye (seven games), Jhye Richardson (three) and Billy Stanlake (four).

- In the same match, England's 6-481 was the highest score in ODI history, and the match was also England's largest win (242 runs) and Australia's heaviest defeat.

Third ODI wrap: England maul Aussies, claim series

- At Nottingham, Eoin Morgan scored England's fastest-ever ODI fifty (21 balls) while also becoming the nation's top ODI run-scorer.

- Aaron Finch scored his sixth ODI hundred against England in Durham, equalling the record for an Australian against one opponent.

- Australia have now lost four consecutive bilateral ODI series (min two matches) for the first time.

- England have now won back-to-back ODI series against Australia for the first time since 1977.

- England have now won six consecutive bilateral ODI series (of three games or more).

Buttler, Morgan delight in snatching Old Trafford win

- In the final match at Old Trafford, Australia were bowled out having faced the third-fewest first-innings overs in their ODI history (34.4), behind only a total of 74 against Sri Lanka in Brisbane in 2013 (26.4) and against New Zealand in Auckland during the 2015 World Cup (32.2).

- England's Jos Buttler faced 100-plus deliveries for the first time in his ODI career during his match-winning century in Manchester. His previous longest innings was 93 from 99 balls, against Sri Lanka at Nottingham in 2016. He took 74 balls to reach his half-century; four of his six ODI hundreds have come from fewer balls.

- The fifth ODI win at Old Trafford was England's second one-wicket victory over Australia – the other came at the same venue in 2010.

- Jason Roy (304) and Jonny Bairstow (300) became just the second and third Englishmen to score 300-plus runs in an ODI series against Australia, after Jonathan Trott (375 in 2011).
