England won the toss and chose to bat first vs Australia
Adam Zampa will be playing his 100th ODI, and will be an even more integral member of Australia’s attack in this contest, in the absence of their big three seamers – Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
Jofra Archer will be back to lead the line in the format, in his first ODI appearance in 18 months, but there will be no Reece Topley, who reportedly fell ill overnight and is replaced by Matthew Potts.
Brook’s stated approach at the toss will be typically non-nonsense in his maiden stint as captain. “Put a little pressure on them in the first innings and try to get a big score,” he said. “Have a lot of fun and look to take wickets.”
England: 1 Ben Duckett, 2 Phil Salt, 3 Will Jacks, 4 Harry Brook (capt), 5 Jamie Smith (wk), 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Jacob Bethell, 8 Brydon Carse, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Matthew Potts, 11 Adil Rashid.
Australia: 1 Travis Head, 2 Mitchell Marsh (capt), 3 Steven Smith, 4 Cameron Green, 5 Marnus Labuschagne, 6 Alex Carey (wk), 7 Matthew Short, 8 Aaron Hardie, 9 Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, 11 Adam Zampa
