But former Ireland batsman Morgan's second one-day hundred for his adopted country turned the tide and gave England a 1-0 lead in this five match series. He ended the match and went to his hundred in the process by crashing paceman Ryan Harris down the ground for four, having faced 85 balls with 16 boundaries as England won with exactly four overs to spare. The second ODI will be played on 24th June.
