Australia rode on Josh Inglis' unbeaten century to beat England by five wickets to record the highest successful chase ever in any ICC 50-overs event, during their Champions Trophy match in Lahore on Saturday.

Inglis remained not out on 120 off just 86 balls from which he hit eight fours and six sixes as Australia chased down the target of 352 with 15 balls to spare.

Opener Matthew Short and Alex Carey contributed 63 and 69 respectively while Marnus Labuschagne made 47 as Australia reached 356 for 5 in 47.3 overs.

Earlier, a magnificent 165 from opening batter Ben Duckett powered England to 351 for 8.

Duckett's 143-ball commanding innings was studded with 17 fours and three sixes, while Joe Root contributed 68 after England were asked to bat first.

For Australia, Ben Dwarshuis took three wickets for 66 runs while Adam Zampa and Marnus Labuschagne chipped in with two each.

Nathan Ellis to Liam Livingstone, Nathan Ellis gets his first wicket now, or does he? The umpire raises his finger for LBW appeal but Liam Livingstone takes the review. This one is on a good length and on middle, pace on this time, angling in a bit too. Livingstone looks to work it away but misses and gets hit on the front pad. Oh..wait! UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is close to the bat and that means there is an inside edge. The on-field call is changed, and Liam survives!
