Joffre Archer takes on the role of World Champion England, who host a stunning 24 track tie against Australia in the second one-day international tournament at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Australia, who were going smoothly towards the target of 232 wins, were bowled out for 207 while England completed a three-game 1-1 streak.
Australia commanded 144-2, but lost four wickets in three runs on 21 balls - including captain Aaron Finch for a well-made 73 - to 147: 6, new duo Chris Woakes (3:32) and Archer (3: 34). back to cause damage.
And when Sam Curran's left-handed pacemaker, called up along with Brother Tom, took two two-ball wickets to knock out Pat Cummins and Mitchell Stark after woakes and Archer made their 10 allotted overs, Australia was 166-8.
Sam Quran put Adam Zampa in the middle of a well-disguised ball and was slower to leave Australia on the brink of a crushing defeat at 176-9.
Legspin Adil Rashid finished the game with an extra eight balls when he allowed Joss Butler to stump Alex Kerry.
Previously, the Australian offensive, in which Starc (2-28) and Josh Hazlewood (1-27) had once again set the tone, limited England to 231-9.
Adam Zampa scored an impressive 3-36 from a maximum of 10 overs to chase a light spinner's 4-55 shot during Australia's 19 wins on Friday.
England captain Eoin Morgan scored a high on 42, but could not prevent his country from falling to 149-8 before the 76th goal post between Tom Curran, 37 and Rashid, 35, kept the hosts in the game.
