The right-handed batsman hit five boundaries in his landmark innings, getting caught by Ashton Agar off the bowling of Mitchell Starc in the second ball of the final over with England just nine runs away from the 300-run mark. Taylor was assisted by Jason Roy (63 off 45) and skipper Eoin Morgan (62 off 56), with whom he shared a 119-run stand for the third wicket to establish the platform for the hosts to finish on a big total.

Australia announced three changes to their playing eleven from the second game — with Ashton Agar, James Pattinson and Aaron Finch coming in place of the injured trio of David Warner, Shane Watson and Nathan Coulter-Nile. England, on the other hand, opted to replace wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler with Jonny Bairstow.
