After winning the first two games of the fixtures, the hosts came back strong in the previous game. All thanks to their stand-in skipper Harry Brook's unbeaten century, which helped the side win the game by 46 runs (DLS method) and keep the series alive. The Three Lions will be riding high on confidence and will be looking to level the series and play the decider in the fifth ODI at Bristol.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh's Australia will be a bit hurt after their last defeat. Notably, the loss ended Australia's 14-match winning streak, stretching back to the 2023 ODI World Cup. The visitors will be keen on not letting the defeat get to their heads and come fresh for the next match.

Lord's Pitch Report
The surface at the iconic Lord's ground is solid for batting and bowlers both. Bowlers will get some swing with the new ball, and the pitch will produce bounce as well. The size of the boundaries is shorter on one side, and the batters will look to score maximum runs. In 86 ODIs played at this venue, the team batting first has come out victorious 42 times. Likewise, the team that wins the toss in the upcoming game will look to bat first.
