David Hussey steered Australia to a four-wicket win over England in the third one-day international at the Sydney Cricket Ground yesterday.

Australia posted 215-6 to win with four overs to spare, after England scored just 214 from 48 overs -- the third time in as many matches they have failed to last their full allotment of overs.

The home side take a 3-0 lead in the seven-match series, in which England are seeking a sixth consecutive ODI series win.

Man-of-the-match Brett Lee (3-27) said Australia had turned the corner after a tough summer, including the 3-1 Ashes loss.

"Collectively as a side we are playing very well," Lee said. "Everyone chipped in, we bowled well, we were good in the field, and I think in the last three games we've shown we've improved in every facet of the game.

"Confidence is such a major thing, we're gathering momentum, the lads have got their backs up, we're charging in and hitting the ball in the right spots."
