England snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to level their one-day international series against Australia while hours later Dominic Thiem produced a dogged fightback to overcome Alexander Zverev in the US Open final.
Having set a modest 232 at Emirates Old Trafford, England’s bowlers induced a collapse as Australia slipped from the comfort of 144 for two to 207 all out to lose by 24 runs and set up a series decider on Wednesday.
Across the pond, Thiem looked set to endure more grand slam final heartache after going two sets down in New York, but he rallied to prevail 2-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6 (6) and finally gets his hands on one of the big four trophies.
