BRISTOL, England, June 19 (Reuters) - England's Steve Harmison took a career-best five-wicket haul and Kevin Pietersen blasted 91 not out as Australia's world champions crashed to a second consecutive triangular series one-day defeat at Bristol on Sunday.
The Australians, whose reverse against Bangladesh in their opening match on Saturday was one of the greatest upsets in cricket history, produced a much-improved display but lost out by three wickets as Pietersen's extraordinary knock sealed the win with 15 balls to spare.
The South-African born Pietersen hammered his runs off 65 balls, including eight fours and four sixes. His last 52 runs came off 23 deliveries.
Harmison seemed to have set up victory with five for 33 as Australia were restricted to 252 for nine after opting to bat at Bristol's County Ground but Glenn McGrath then led the fightback, taking two early wickets and strangling the England top-order.
England needed seven an over off the last 15 to win and 76 runs off the last 10 as the wickets continued to tumble but Pietersen, in his first one-day innings against the world champions, and Vikram Solanki rattled through several gears to put on 54 for the seventh wicket in just five overs.
Pietersen then hit 17 off the 46th over from Jason Gillespie to make certain of victory.

Australia probably would have won if they'd included their Englishman!

I stayed up until 4:00am for a DRAW???
If anything points towards this being a really really good series, it's tonights (todays) game.

Bring it!
Yay!
No more sleeps till the Ashes!!! I just hope I pick the right days to plan on staying up late for this first test. I'm planning on Friday night at this stage, although I COULD get caught up in it and try tonight ...
I hope Gillespie doesn't bowl.
