England's Kevin Pietersen played a scintillating innings of 91 in the Bristol one-dayer to hand Australia their fourth consecutive loss of the tour.

Pietersen now aggregates 649 runs in 10 innings (13 ODIs) at an average of 162.25. Both his aggregate and average are the highest for any player in ODI history after playing exactly 10 innings.

By an odd coincidence the previous record in this category was on the name of Allan Lamb -- another South Africa born Englishman.

The following table lists the highest run-aggregates after 10 innings in ODIs:

Runs Player For Mts Inns Ave Hs 100 50
649 KP Pietersen Eng 13 10 162.25 116 3 3
577 AJ Lamb Eng 10 10 72.13 118 2 2
554 RL Diad SL 10 10 55.40 121 2 3
525 DL Amiss Eng 10 10 52.50 137 3 0
