After winning the toss and batting, Australia made 249, with second-gamer Chris Woakes picking up a record-equalling six wickets.
The result gave Australia an unbeatable 4-1 lead in the seven-match series, ending England's run of five straight ODI series wins, and the match also raised more than $6 million for victims of the recent Queensland floods.
Australian captain Michael Clarke, who made an overdue return to form with a half-century, said it was a gutsy effort from the Aussies.
"I think we did really well to scratch out 249. We weren't looking all that flash at one stage, and then the bowlers did a great job tonight. I think we are improving." ufffd
