SYDNEY (Reuters) - Owen Farrell kicked 24 points as England racked up a record score to beat Australia 44-40 in a rollercoaster of a third test on Saturday and inflict a first 3-0 home series sweep on the Wallabies since 1971.

Tries from prop Dan Cole, fullback Mike Brown, number eight Billy Vunipola and replacement hooker Jamie George combined with flyhalf Farrell's tally helped extend England's winning streak under Australian coach Eddie Jones to nine matches.
