England etc flair trumps Aust competence

England 6/268 (46 ov, E Morgan 103*) def Australia 7/267 (50 ov, M Clarke 87*) by 4 wickets: ODI#1 at Rose Bowl Southampton.

I watched the beginning and the end of the match on TV. When I retired Australia looked to be building a handy score. When I rose early in the morning Channel 9 had stopped its telecast, though Fox Sports hadn't, so I was able to see the England team with former Ireland international Eoin Morgan (103*) surge to a comfortable victory and a 1-0 series lead .
