Openers forge a 269-run stand, the highest opening partnership at the MCG, as Aussies amassed 355/5, the highest total at the venue
Melbourne — Australia, fuelled by hundreds from Travis Head and David Warner, crushed England by 221 runs in the third one day internationals to sweep the series in front of largely empty stands at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday.
On a day when batting records tumbled at the MCG, only 10,406 fans were present at the stadium that can host 100,000. Head raced to a 91-ball hundred, his third in one-day internationals, with a four off Chris Woakes and went on to make a career-best 152 which contained four sixes and 16 fours.
