England lost both openers to Glenn McGrath early on as they embarked on a chase of 253 to beat Australia in the NatWest Series match in Bristol.
Both Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss were bowled for 16 as the hosts fell to 42-2 in the ninth over.
Steve Harmison (5-33) earlier took his first one-day five-wicket haul as England held Australia to 252-9.
Harmison took four early wickets - including three in four balls - while Mike Hussey hit 84, his highest score.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest action:
10th over: Vaughan cannot get Gillespie away as the hitherto erratic paceman registers a maiden.
9th over: WICKET England 42-2 (Strauss 16)
Another strike for McGrath as Strauss chops the paceman onto his stumps.
8th over: A Strauss pull-shot earns two runs as the batsmen take on Kasprowicz''s arm and scamper through safely.
7th over: McGrath swings one onto Strauss''s pads and is clipped through mid-wicket for four.
WICKET England 39-1 (Trescothick 16)
Trescothick top-edges a no-ball high into safety but is then on his way as a brilliant inswinging yorker hits middle-and-leg stump.
6th over: Gillespie invites a thick outside edge from Trescothick, who survives with no slip in place and picks up a boundary.
5th over: McGrath loses his discipline, conceding a leg-side wide and a no-ball. England are getting there largely on extras at the moment.
4th over: Gillespie''s nightmares continue as he starts his second over with yet another leg-side wide. Trescothick then pushes past point to the fence.
3rd over: McGrath strays onto Strauss''s pads and is glanced fine to the fence. A hearty lbw appeal is then turned down with the ball hitting the pads marginally outside the line of off-stump. The next ball is then glanced for another boundary.
2nd over: Gillespie starts terribly - sending the ball extremely wide down the leg-side for successive wides. He then gets it on track but is clubbed by Trescothick past point for four, an exchange which precedes another leg-side wide, a no-ball and another wide.
1st over: McGrath angles one across Trescothick and beats the outside edge. A quickly run single gets England''s scoring under way.
INNINGS BREAK
50th over: WICKET 248-9 (Kasprowicz 1)
Gough does another fine job at the death to concede just seven runs and pick up the wicket of Mike Kasprowicz.
49th over: WICKET 244-8 (Gillespie 14)
Gillespie beats the leg-side field to send Flintoff to the fence before skying a hook high into the air and into the gloves of Jones.
48th over: Gough returns to the attack and does a great job to concede just four runs.
47th over: Gillespie gratefully accepts Lewis''s full-toss and smacks him over long-on for six.
46th over: Gillespie gets away with a quick single thanks to Flintoff''s missed shy at the stumps as the superb Harmison ends his spell with personal-best figures of 5-33.
45th over: WICKET 220-7 (Watson 25)
Watson goes the same way as Hussey as Flintoff keeps England on top with another strike.
44th over: Harmison is too short and pays the price as Watson hooks fine for four.
WICKET 220-6 (Hussey 84)
A cunning slower ball from Harmison knocks Hussey''s off-stump to reward the paceman with his first one-day five-wicket haul.
43rd over: Lewis replaces Gough but the change is to Watson''s liking, the all-rounder lifting him over long-on for six.
42nd over: Watson manages to get bat on ball and give the strike back to Hussey, who mistimes his hook and picks up only a single.
41st over: Gough affords Hussey far too much width and is cut past point for four. He then no-balls in an indifferent over from the veteran.
40th over: Harmison is back in the attack now, with a five-wicket haul in sight and four overs still owing to him. Harmison curiously returns a forward defensive back to the batsman - rooted in his crease - which Watson swats away. One run is scored in a good return from the spearhead.
39th over: Gough duly returns to the attack to add to his six overs at the start of the day. Hussey times the ball splendidly through the covers for four.
38th over: Lewis continues as Hussey picks up a single to register his highest one-day score.
37th over: Vaughan returns to the attack - probably for one over only - and goes for just four runs.
36th over: WICKET 168-5 (Clarke 45)
Lewis strikes for England as Clarke plays onto his leg-stump via an inside edge.
35th over: Pietersen''s shy at the stumps misses and gifts Clarke an overthrow. Collingwood then spills Hussey at point, a far easier chance than the one he pouched to remove Hayden.
34th over: Vaughan brings himself off and recalls Lewis, whose first two balls back are sent to the fence behind the wicket by Hussey. A second one-day fifty for the left-hander is richly deserved and much-needed by Australia. A single brings up the 100-stand off 18.3 overs.
33rd over: Successive Flintoff wides down the leg-side take Australia past 150.
32nd over: Hussey picks up two past point as Flintoff cuts the ball off on the ropes. Vaughan is then taken to the fence by the left-hander, who sweeps and beats Harmison in the deep.
31st over: Flintoff returns to the attack and overpitches to Hussey, who off-drives beautifully to the fence.
30th over: The batsmen work a few seingles to take four runs off Vaughan''s over.
29th over: Hussey''s deft reverse-sweep sends Solanki to the third-man fence. England''s part-time bowlers seem to be letting Australia back into the game.
28th over: Clarke feasts on a Vaughan long-hop, hooking for six to bring up the 50-partnership off 73 balls.
27th over: Another intriguing move by Vaughan sees Collingwood rested for Solanki, whose off-breaks have never been used before at international level. The batsmen scamper through for a quick two.
26th over: Vaughan keeps up the good work with another tidy over.
25th over: Clarke drives Collingwood through the covers for four before Hussey leg-glances to the fence to take the score into triple figures. 103-4
24th over: Vaughan affords himself a rare bowl and keeps Clarke on a tight rein, conceding just three runs.
23rd over: Collingwood comes on for his mid-innings overs. Clarke takes a very risky single and gets awaqy with it as Vaughan misses at the non-striker''s end.
22nd over: Hussey leans into Lewis''s off-side line and caresses the ball wide of mid-off for a four.
21st over: Hussey helps himself two a brace of boundaries against Flintoff, one through extra cover and the other over mid-wicket.
20th over: Lewis returns to the attack to replace Harmison - not a bad ploy with Australia shell-shocked and two new batsman at the crease. Clarke slashes hard outside off-stump and clears the covers for a much-needed boundary.
19th over: Hussey reaches at Flintoff outside the off-stump and picks up a single down to third man.
18th over: Another stifling over from Harmison keeps Australia''s new batsmen under lock and key.
17th over: Flintoff applies a different type of pressure from the other end, delivering the first maiden of the match.
16th over: WICKET 63-4 (Hayden 31)
Harmison strikes again as a blinding catch from Collingwood, plucked from mid-air right-handed high above his head at point, sends Hayden on his way.
15th over: Australia trade in singles against Flintoff as they meet the 15-over mark in a state of disarray.
14th over: Harmison gains massive bounce off the pitch to Clarke, conceding a wide in the process. But that is the only run to come in a fine over.
13th over: Flintoff comes on for Gough and tempts an edge from Clarke which lands just in front of slip.
12th over: WICKET 57-1 (Gilchrist 26)
Gilchrist cuts at Harmison but the ball is not wide enough and he edges into the gloves of Jones.
WICKET 57-2 (Ponting 0) Ponting goes for a first-ball duck as Harmison traps him plumb in front with a devilish yorker.
WICKET 57-3 (Martyn 0) Martyn averts the hat-trick ball but then cuts high down to third man, where Pietersen makes no mistake. Australia are on the ropes again.
11th over: Short and wide tripe from Gough is given the full treatment by Hayden, who sends the ball racing through the covers for four.
10th over: Harmison''s attempted yorker meets Hayden on the full and the first boundary of the match comes courtesy of a thick edge. A hooked single brings up the fifty stand.
9th over: Gough''s fifth over is held up by a change of strides and the Bristol crowd get a view of his black bike shorts. He maintains his nagging line outside off-stump to concede just three runs.
8th over: Harmison comes on for Lewis, whose first three overs cost 22 runs. Gilchrist flicks through mid-wicket for two.
7th over: A fine over from Gough and some sharp infielding restricts Australia to two runs.
6th over: Lewis strays onto Gilchrist''s pads and is lifted over mid-wicket for another maximum.
5th over: Harmison cuts off Hayden''s flick past mid-on, keeping the shot down to two. The resting fast bowler winces in pain after his slide save, nursing his torso region. Gough fools Gilchrist with a slow off-cutter and beats the bat.
4th over: Gilchrist''s leading edge off Lewis beats the slip fielder and runs away for two. Hayden then plants his front foot forward and lifts the paceman over long-on for a massive six.
3rd over: Hayden looks to work Gough away but cannot find the middle of the bat until the end of the over, when he picks up a single through mid-wicket.
2nd over: Gilchrist pushes Lewis through extra-cover, a shot kept to two by Harmison''s athletic dive and throw. A good over from the local paceman.
1st over: Gilchrist, after yesterday''s second-ball duck, gets off the mark by nudging Gough to square-leg. Hayden then hooks to fine-leg, where Harmison picks up on the bounce.
