Sydney: David Warner's first one-day international century in almost three years has guided Australia to a three-wicket, bonus point win over England in the first Carlton Mid ODI Tri-Series match at the SCG on Friday.
Warner's 127 from 115 balls was his first since March 2012 as Australia chased down England's 234 all out with 61 balls to spare to secure five competition points.
The win was set up by Australia's new ball attack which ripped the tourists' top order apart, with Mitchell Starc picking up two wickets in the first three balls of the match to finish with figures of 4-42 from 8.5 overs.
While Warner's Test form has reached new heights over the past 18 months, his form in the 50-over format has been forgettable. Six boundaries in the first 10 overs had Warner on his way, but his opening partner Aaron Finch failed to match his partner's exuberance, chopping Woakes on for 15 off 18 balls.
Warner was joined by the broad shoulders of Watson in the middle, and after a clip and cut for four each, Watson's uneasy time with the blade was prolonged when he top edged Jordan to be caught short of the square leg boundary for 16.
Then an innocuous touch of the leg and wince of the eye had Australian fans and support staff skip a breath when Warner grabbed at his right hamstring.
But as Warner closed in on his hundred, an uncharacteristic rush of blood by Smith saw him run past an Ali off-break to be bowled for 37.
A mix up saw Haddin run out for 16, leaving Faulkner – Australia's modern Michael Bevan – to ice the game and deliver the bonus point.
Ealier, England recovered from the horror start thanks to Eoin Morgan's first hundred as the full-time 50-over captain, scoring 121 off 136 balls to give his bowlers a respectable total to bowl to.
Ian Bell England's newest one-day opener was coming off a 145-ball 187 against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra two days ago, but today couldn't survive the first ball of the match from left-armer Starc, trapped lbw for a golden duck.
The buzzing crowd was still streaming in when Bell fell, but those who missed the first wicket were treated to a replay two balls later when No.3 James Taylor was dismissed with an exact replica from the tall fast bowler.
England's leading ODI run-scorer in 2014 Joe Root lasted 15 balls before a thick outside off the pace of Pat Cummins found Shane Watson's safe hands at first slip to reduce the visitors to 3-12 inside four overs.
More trouble would follow when Moeen Ali succumbed to George Bailey's trap at deep point to go for 22 from 21 balls and sink England to 4-33.
Morgan found an ally in wicketkeeper Jos Buttler as the pair worked singles, ran hard for twos and defied Bailey's attempts to break through and expose England's lengthy tail.
As Morgan pushed England towards 200 and his own century, Woakes offered Steve Smith arguably the easiest catch of his blossoming career at mid-wicket, and the 25-year-old obliged to send the fast bowler on his way for eight.
Another fifty-run stand came in flash between Morgan in Jordan before the fast bowler picked out Maxwell in the deep to go for 1.
Earlier, England have won the toss and have opted to bat.
James Anderson still not fit and James Tredwell misses out as England opt for only one spinner in Moeen Ali.
