England go with same team

June 25, 2019 14:52

England captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss and elected to field against Australia in their World Cup match at Lord's on Tuesday.

With the overhead conditions heavy and the pitch having a little grass on it, a good contest between bat and ball is in store.

Australia have brought out Behrendorff and Lyon in place of Coulter-Nile and Zampa while England go unchanged in London under overcast conditions.

Pre-tournament favourites England slumped to their second defeat of the tournament at Headingley on Friday, falling short of the 233 needed for victory on a slow track.

Eoin Morgan's side have slipped to fourth in the standings behind New Zealand, Australia and India with three matches to play before the semi-finals.

Australia, with reinstated opener David Warner in sparkling form, have won five of their six matches, losing only to India, and head into the England clash with confidence.

Langer said Australia, who beat Bangladesh in their last start, have yet to deliver a complete performance.

"We've played some really good games in this tournament without playing our best game still," he said.

"We've got Davey (Warner) and Aaron Finch making big hundreds up front exactly what England have been doing for the last few years.

"We've got guys in the middle who are doing well, we've got adaptability in our team which I keep saying is a strength not a weakness.

"It's not just (about) what's clicked the last few games, it's been what's clicked for the last few months and that's exciting for us."

Playing XI

Australia: David Warner, Aaron Finch (c), Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jason Behrendorff

England: James Vince, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (w), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood
