Key moment: Mitchell Starc's searing full-length yorker for the ages to shatter the stumps of Ben Stokes for 89, essentially ending any hope of an England win.

Quote of the day: "You don't play cricket for the accolades, but to play at Lord's and to take five today was really special." - Jason Behrendorff after getting his name on the one-day honours board at Lord's.
