Kent spinner James Tredwell produced a fine display to help England complete a one-day series whitewash of Australia on Tuesday night.

Tredwell was called into the side for the seven-wicket stroll against the tourists at Old Trafford in place of Tim Bresnan (sore elbow), having been initially brought into the squad in place of Graeme Swann, who was rested.

The rain-shortened victory completed a 4-0 series win, with the third ODI at Edgbaston having been washed out.

After England won the toss, Tredwell trapped opener David Warner LBW with just his fourth delivery for his first international wicket on home soil.

He then superbly broke the stumps to run-out Peter Forrest from Samit Patel's throw before Matthew Wade was stumped by Craig Kieswetter off a Tredwell delivery which turned viciously.

Those three wickets arrived for the addition of just six runs in a 27-ball spell.

The 30-year-old's off-spin then put the squeeze on the visitors in the middle of their innings and he eventually finished with 2-23 off seven overs, which included a maiden, one of just two on the day.

Australia's total of 145-7 off 32 overs was easily surpassed by England with Alistair Cook and Ravi Bopara each recording a half-century.

Tredwell had previously been called into the ODI squad for the clash with the West Indies at Headingley at June 22 but the game again fell victim to the weather.
