Equivalent of UseUrls for .NET Core 3.1/IHostBuilder

Question

Previously, with .NET Core 2.2, I could add UseUrls to my Program.cs file to set the URL that the web server would run on:

public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .UseStartup<Startup>()
        .UseUrls("http://localhost:5100");

However, in .NET Core 3.1, the default format of Program.cs changed:

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder => { webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>(); });

I tried adding UseUrls to this in the same manner as I did with .NET Core 2.2, but it says that:

'IHostBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'UseUrls' and the best extension method overload 'HostingAbstractionsWebHostBuilderExtensions.UseUrls(IWebHostBuilder, params string[])' requires a receiver of type 'IWebHostBuilder'

How can I set the URL for the server to run on using .NET Core 3.1 (which uses IHostBuilder instead of IWebHostBuilder)?

The method ConfigureWebHostDefaults allows you to configure the web host. One of the thing you can do is change the urls: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/generic-host?view=aspnetcore-3.1#urls

    public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
        Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
            {
                webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                webBuilder.UseUrls("http://localhost:5100");
            });
