After a stellar series in which they scored 246 and 278 runs respectively, James Taylor and Eoin Morgan have been rewarded with lofty elevations in the latest ICC One-Day International Batting rankings.

Taylor was the second leading run scorer in the series behind Morgan and climbs 29 places to a career-high 55th spot.

The England captain on the other hand scored his runs in the 3-2 loss at an average of just under 70 and jumps 11 places to 21st in the rankings.

Imran Tahir, who spent part of the 2015 season with Nottinghamshire, becomes the top-ranked bowler as Mitchell Starc slips to second.

Whilst there are no changes in the rankings of the countries, the 3-2 results gives England two points to move to 100 and close the gap on to three points behind Sri Lanka whilst Australia maintain top spot on 127 despite losing two points.

England off-spinner Moeen Ali has moved up seven places to 29th, Australia’s duo of Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins (the series’ highest wicket-taker with 12 in five matches) have climbed 22 and 50 places to 49th and 62nd, respectively and England’s Adil Rashid has gained 33 places to end in 78th spot.

There is good news for Australia batsmen as well. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade have stormed up the batting chart. Marsh has gained 16 places to claim 65th spot after his series contribution of 134 runs, while Wade has rocketed 23 places to 72nd after his 164 runs in the series.
