#4 Giving a free hand to Jason Roy
Australia have now lost seven of their past eight ODI games and their inability to defend 300-plus totals is becoming a serious headache for the hosts.
It looked that Steven Smith & Co. were too complacent after putting a total of 304/8 on the board and ended up giving a free hand to Jason Roy to score a big hundred.
The high-flying hosts did not expect a team that lost had recently lost the five-match Ashes Test series against them to produce enough firepower to chase down a total of 300-plus.
To their surprise, the 27-year-old England opener showcased an absolute masterclass with a 151-ball 180 to pull off the first-ever chase of 300-plus by any side at Australia's grandest ground.
