Eoin Morgan hails "great chase" in England win over Australia

England captain Eoin Morgan praises the quality of his side's run chase in their victory over Australia in the fourth one-day international.

England captain Eoin Morgan has praised the quality of his side's run chase in their three-wicket win over Australia in the fourth one-day international to tie the series.

The Baggy Greens set Morgan's men 300 to win the clash at Headingley thanks to half-centuries from Glenn Maxwell, George Bailey and Matthew Wade in their innings.

However, the Three Lions proved that they were up to the challenge as Morgan led the way with a run-a-ball 92 before Moeen Ali and David Willey got the team over the line.

Morgan told Sky Sports News: "At the halfway stage we were pretty confident we could chase it down. Before a ball had been bowled I certainly would have taken 300 as a chase and the guys were pretty optimistic about it.

"So to come out and have contributions and partnerships by the majority of our team was a great chase.

"Moeen Ali at the end with a very cool head seeing us home was great. It is always comforting having guys down the order that can play well and have a lot of experience of it."

The fifth ODI takes place on Sunday at Old Trafford.
