"We're going to see some tough, exciting cricket over the next few weeks."
Man of the match
Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, who scored 71 off 50 balls and took three catches: "Me and Mitchell (Marsh) just knuckled down and took our innings deep. I thought we might have been 10 or 15 runs under but our bowlers did well. It's great to be back in the team, I'm just trying to take my confidence into this series and play as well as I can."

Sumant Singh Bhatia: The difference between the teams was that Australia got the ball to reverse swing - BIG advantage to bat first
Captain's reaction
Australia captain Steven Smith: "I thought the boys played nicely. We had a little hiccup in the middle order but Matthew Wade and Mitchell Marsh did well to get us to that score. With the new ball it came on nice but it was two-pace when the ball got older. We knew we would have to bowl well and we did that.
"This sort of attack has done well for us over a while. We are number one in the world so we have been doing a lot of things right. But you have to assess the conditions.
"We have to recover tonight, drive to London tomorrow and we are looking forward to playing at Lord's."
Captain's reaction
England captain Eoin Morgan: "We lost it in the 10 or 15 overs in the middle of the chase where Australia bowled pretty well. We got off to a fantastic start and when we get off to a start like that we should be chasing down 305.
"We'll look back at our plans and execution and try and improve for Lord's. I was pleased with Adil Rashid, he has come on in leaps and bounds. For him to come out and hold his nerve, I was very impressed."

"England have got a really exciting young team, they look well organised, Eoin Morgan captained very well and after the start they had it was looking dangerous for Australia. However, they held their nerve and that cluster of wickets in the middle of the England innings proved too much."

Alex Meissner: An enjoyable contest today but, once again, Australia's death bowling is something England need to replicate. From 193-6 to 305-6 tells me Australia have the calmness to bat at will, whereas England have crumbled. It still makes for a fascinating ODI contest!
"That win will set the tone for Australia. I think we'll see some close games but this will give Australia plenty of confidence. A couple of soft dismissals from Jason Roy and James Taylor let us back in."
"It is Australia's 10th victory against England in their last 11 one-day internationals."
Australia win by 59 runs
It promised to be a dramatic finish. It looked at one stage that England were heading for victory. But some poor shot choices, coupled with some good middle-innings bowling from Australia, has given the tourists victory. Even Shane Watson bowled pretty well.

Game over. Moeen looks to pull a short Pat Cummins ball but it is too quick for him and he skies it for Mitchell Marsh to catch on the leg side. It will be a miracle if England win this now.
Mark Wood is in and with only Steven Finn to come you feel like this is a game England are going to lose now. However, Moeen Ali is class and Wood is a fighter. He edges a quick Mitchell Starc ball to bring a very welcome four before his partner drives for another boundary. England will need plenty more of those.

Just as England were starting to build a tiny bit of belief, Australia strike to bring an air of doom rushing back in. Mitchell Starc pitches up and Adil Rashid edges to Matthew Wade.
"I'd like to say this game is dead and buried but with these two, it's very much alive. Moeen Ali has been in great form this summer playing these counter-attacking innings."
Eng 220-7
Pat Cummins is back, no doubt with the intention of blowing the tail away. Moeen has other ideas, though, and hits the ball straight back over the bowler's head for four. He then launches another for two into the off side. The Worcestershire man is such a big asset coming in at seven, especially in these circumstances. Can he do this for England?
"Apart from that boundary, Moeen was struggling for timing in that over. Starc is good at finding yorker length."
Eng 211-7 (need 95 off 66)

These two were England's best bowlers and now it's their chance to be England's best batsmen. Moeen has won many admirers with the willow this summer, and it's easy to see why when he plays a straight drive off Mitchell Starc for four.

It is a big misjudgement and an unnecessary one. It is still advantage England but the Aussies are back in the game.

James Taylor is another batsman who can mix strength with stealth. After the six off Mitchell Marsh he deftly prods Shane Watson down to third man for two. He gets a bit lucky soon after with an edge that doesn't carry to Matthew Wade.

Jason Roy is not one for being dictated to. He scores another boundary with a back-foot punch through midwicket off Mitchell Marsh. It is clearly rubbing off on James Taylor, who gets in on the action by dancing down to hammer the ball back over Marsh's head for six. With Marsh towering over Taylor, that is David v Goliath stuff. Looks like the batsman has brought his sling-shot.
"We're used to Hales being the outright aggressor with somebody else trudging along in his wake, but Roy had most of the strike and did most of the scoring. That's a very polished innings full of eye-catching strokeplay."

Well, if you live by the sword, you die by it as well. Alex Hales rocks back to an average short ball and looks to pull but succeeds only in hammering it straight down Shane Watson's throat at midwicket. That is about as good as it has got for Watson in this game. First blow for England in their response. The big question is how will they respond? James Taylor has a cracking platform to build on.
Eng 70-0 (Target 306)
First signs that the pace of Pat Cummins and the light - which is that odd combination of fading natural combined with floodlight - could cause the batsmen some problems as Alex Hales plays the wrong line and misses. No problem for Jason Roy, though, who steers a short straight ball down to the third-man boundary for four before swivelling on another to help the ball fine for a boundary. Steve Smith stares at the floor. It's not easy this captaincy lark.
"Australia were in a similar position to England but then Adil Rashid came on to bowl and took four wickets. Australia don't have a bowler like that. Unless Steve Smith has a bowl."

Another bowling change sees Mitchell Marsh come in to the attack. He's another broad-shouldered unit. Jason Roy shows a lovely touch to deftly flick the second ball fine for four. The opening batsman follows it up with another shot to leg, which he tucks between fine and square leg. Roy ends the over on 40 - his highest ever ODI score, amassed from 42 balls. He and Alex Hales have given England the perfect start for their run-chase. Australia were 54-0 at this point, but lost their way soon after.

No let up. Jason Roy wasn't aiming for fine leg but his top edge from a hook takes the ball there for four more runs. Another short ball is pulled to backward square leg for a single.

Mitchell Starc is getting some punishment here. Alex Hales swings hard on the pull and top-edges the ball over Nathan Coulter-Nile at wide fine leg for six. Hales then drives straight past Starc for four. Only Pat Cummins' dive at mid-off prevents another boundary. Brutal.

Nathan Coulter-Nile is quicker than he looks, whistling a bouncer past Alex Hales' grille. He will have smelt the leather there. Maiden over.
"Alex Hales is the opposite to Jason Roy, he hits everything on the off side. If you could morph him and Roy you would have the perfect opening batsman in one-day cricket."
"Jason Roy is like a left-handed Graeme Smith, you just get the feeling he is not comfortable hitting the ball on the off side."
Eng 24-0 (Target 306)
Well, that was an entertaining Mitchell Starc over. Jason Roy chips the fifth ball just short of George Bailey at mid-on and then drives the last for four. It could have been England's first wicket but instead the pressure remains firmly on Australia.
Eng 20-0
What a crazy three balls. Mitchell Starc's first ball is not that full but there is width and Alex Hales is on it in a flash driving square for four. Hales then has a moment of madness, taking a quick single to Glenn Maxwell, who would have run the batsman out if he had hot with a throw to the non-strikers' end. The next ball? Four - flicked over midwicket by Jason Roy.

Tuffers will have to wait a bit to see Cummins in action as Nathan Coulter-Nile opens up with Starc. Cummins does have a [part to play in the opening over but it is only to throw the ball back in after Jason Roy flicks a straight ball to the midwicket boundary. Smith has his hands on his hips already. England have started well.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Pat Cummins, he's a very slippery customer. A big lad, too."
Eng 5-0 (target 306)
Mitchell Starc hasn't always had his radar on this summer. The world's top ODI bowler starts well but lets himself down with a short ball that Jason Roy pulls for one and then a full delivery that Alex Hales punches through extra cover for four. England are away.

"So an innings of three parts that for Australia. A solid platform to begin with thanks to Joe Burns and David Warner putting on 76. Then came the mid-innings wobble that saw Australia lose 4-29 in the space of six overs.
"But Matthew Wade recovered from being involved in Shane Watson's run out to put on an unbeaten partnership of 112 with Mitchell Marsh for the seventh wicket.
"England will know 306 will take some chasing under lights. Back in June, they were bowled out for 302 batting first against New Zealand on this very ground."

The previous best ODI figures by a spinner on this ground are Graeme Swann's 3-26 against Pakistan in 2010.
Ex-Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh: "On-field volatility seems to have got worse since the advent of television. When the players can see in the dressing-room that an umpire might have made a mistake, some of that respect may disappear. My advice as a coach was that players make far more mistakes than umpires, and to 'get on with it'.
"In the Australia-Pakistan World Cup game earlier this year, Wahab Riaz bowled with terrific pace, bounced out our captain and made life extremely difficult for Shane Watson. It breathed life into the game - and Riaz and Watson were fined for their on-field confrontation. They should have been given a bonus."

England's Adil Rashid, who took 4-59, speaking to Sky Sports: "It came out nice today, I was looking to mix it up and be attacking. It's nice to be part of the squad and to be playing. It's a good pitch, I thought we did well to keep it tight for most of the innings. If we apply ourselves, we should get close to that total."
"I think the Aussies, after being 193-6, will be happy. These two have put on 112 and the Aussie dressing room will be buzzing. England didn't do much wrong because Australia just made good use of their long batting line-up."
"I think England will be happier, but I'm not convinced we have read the wicket correctly. We thought it would be a 350 pitch but we've seen the batsmen struggle to time the ball throughout the innings."

Matthew Wade has mixed raw power with subtle strokes during this innings. He produces one of the latter to bring himself another four, dropping to one knee to steer the ball down to the vacant slot at fine leg. Chris Woakes responds well, though, with a dot ball.
"After that run out of Watson it could have all gone horribly wrong for Australia but this is an important partnership."

Australia put on 76 for the first wicket, so this has been a good fightback by England - led by Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes. A couple more singles advance the score...

From the ridiculous to the sublime. Mathew Wade follows the ugly stroke that brought him 50 with a superb shot down the ground to bring him four off Wood's last ball.

Mitchell Marsh looks to club Chris Woakes to cow corner but doesn't connect and only gets a single. Australia manage three more runs from the last two balls. They are taking more and more risks now. England need to keep their discipline and, ideally, claim some wickets.
"Peter Nevill deserves an extended run in the Test team and Matthew Wade is more suited to T20 and one-day cricket. He offers good balance to the team in this format."

Really good death bowling from Stokes, who varies his line and pace to keep the Aussies guessing. He spoils it a bit, though, with a loose last ball, which Wade sweeps aerially down to fine leg for four.

Mitchell Marsh is capable of hitting the ball into the top tier of the MCG, so he's not going to struggle at any English ground.

Does the mystique of leg-spin help pick up wickets? Shane Warne said he only ever bowled two deliveries - a leggie and a straight one - but he'd tell everyone who would listen that he had six or seven variations so that the batsman would get tied up in looking for any subtle deliveries in the run-up and delivery. These two at the wicket know a lot rests on their partnership so they knock the ball into gaps and Mitchell Marsh ends the over by chipping to the extra cover boundary.

It will be criminal if Australia don't get to 300 after their start, especially on this track. But most of the credit for the way the progress has been halted must go to England. Finn returns and is a victim of the pacey outfield to a standard push down the ground from Wade, who gets a boundary. The 200 is up for the tourists.
"I've seen Adil Rashid bowl a lot better than this. He hasn't bowled particularly well here but, as can be the case with the art of leg-spin, he has got four wickets."

He's a good enough bat to be at number seven, too. Keeping his spinning fingers warm by blowing on them, he is going through all his variations. Both Glenn Maxwell and Shane Watson look uncomfortable against him, playing aerial shots. Drinks.

You'd hope Steve Smith would be able to pick Adil Rashid with him being a leggie himself. It certainly looks the case as he whips four through the leg side in a very wristy manner. It was almost MS Dhoni-like. Ten from the over.
"I thought Bairstow deserved a spot in the side. The more I see James Vince play, the more I think he is international quality. I would have been tempted to give him the number three spot in this series."

John McNamara: re Bairstow omission [3rd over] - Not a top 3 or bowler, Morgan's captain and Buttler scored a great ton against NZ. Unlucky but hardly laughable.
craig gardner: Surely Willey deserve his places in this ODI team they want the left-arm variety, he's at top of game and now left out.
Chris Parker: Woakes is decent, but for me Willey is better with bat and ball no idea why he's not in the side.
Aus 81-1 (Woakes 4-0-14-0)
Steve Smith is Australia's leading batsman these days but it's only in 2014 and 2015 in which he averages more than 28 for the calendar year. He looked in good nick at Cardiff on Monday in the T20 game though and England will want to get him early. The run-rate has dried up a little, Woakes and Rashid doing a good containing job.

Aus 78-1
The first blow to Australia's progress brings Steve Smith to the crease. He gets off the mark by punching one in to the off side off the back foot for a single, before Warner adds another with a prod to leg. It has taken a little while for England to make the breakthrough but now they have it they will hope to build on it.
"Rashid just gave it a bit of extra air there. You sensed something was going to happen. Burns was just looking to accelerate. He was on edge. Good bowling from Rashid. He had the courage to give it flight."

Burns c&b Rashid 44 (Aus 76-1)
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
What's that saying about rubbish bowling getting wickets? A couple of nicely-floated leggies are charged at by Joe Burns but when Adil Rashid delivers a full toss the batsman can only get a leading edge back to the bowler. 1-0 to Rashid.
"Warner has the incredible ability to spot the pace of the ball out of the hand. Steve Smith is the same, they pick the ball up so quickly."
Aus 72-0 (Warner 30 off 34)
David Warner has spoken about playing baseball professionally in the past and you can see why he'd be good at it - the left-hander playing a flat-batted shot to a Chris Woakes slower ball and it is dispatched to the boundary with interest.
Good variation from Woakes though who sees Joe Burns coming at him and slips in a lively bouncer which the batsman sways away from.

PACopyright: PA
There's always a lot spoken about Chris Woakes and his lack of pace, but his speeds in this game have been pretty good so far. In the last six balls delivered his speeds have been (all in mph): 85.7, 85.4, 86.8. 87.9, 88.1 & 84.6.
Just one run from the over and a very good bouncer which surprised Joe Burns.
"I think the way England teams will get better at one-day cricket is to play on better pitches. That was why they were able to score big against New Zealand, because of the quality of the pitches. That has been a real inconsistency of English cricket down the years."
Aus 59-0 (Burns 36 off 41)

Eoin Morgan has a slip in place for Adil Rashid who is allowed four fielders outside the circle as added protection. Giving the ball plenty of air and ripping it through his fingers, Rashid is milked for ones and twos - the two batsmen sitting back in their crease and watching the ball onto the bat. Five from the over.
"He is a tough lad, Chris Woakes, and you rarely see him grimace. It is the first finger of his left hand. When you have taken a knock on the hand, he prods you on every area of the hand and you are just waiting for that scream."

Chance! Down!
David Warner cracks the ball back at Chris Woakes, almost at head height, but the bowler can't cling on and the ball drops to the floor. They either stick or they don't. Either way, that has hurt Woakes's hand.

Aus 51-0 (run-rate: 5.77)
The batsmen have had long enough to size up the conditions and the bowlers now, Joe Burns getting hold of one in the slot and chipping four back down the ground. The type of shot which Ian Bell used to play so well in this form of the game.
Another boundary follows when David Warner turns a hip-tickler round the corner. Excellent placement and timing.

Former Prime Minister John Major and Chris Tarrant are two of the VIPs at the Ageas Bowl today. Who would make up your cricketing cabinet? I'd love to see Joe Root in some sort of role at Downing Street.
Joe Burns is showing he's a technically correct batsman, the right-hander guiding four past the diving gully fielder. Then he tries to go over the infield but doesn't time the ball so can only take two.

BBC Sport at Southampton
"This match is the first ODI that England will play under the ICC's new fielding restrictions. June's run-filled series against New Zealand included the mandatory five-over batting powerplay, which has been ditched.
"What replaces it are three distinct powerplays: the first 10 overs, overs 11-40, then overs 41-50. As a guide, it's the same as the conditions which the counties have been playing under in this season's One-Day Cup.
"The change could be one reason why we perhaps don't see scores of 400-plus in 50 overs this time round, but in the modern game, anything is still possible."

I'll be honest... I don't know what those outfits are. Kangaroos? They'll look a sight getting on the bus home at 11pm tonight. Out in the middle, Australia seem keen to preserve their wickets rather than taking advantage of just two fielders outside the circle in the first 10 overs. They're dealing in ones and twos.

Well, if Burns was affected by that review he doesn't show it as he leans in to the next ball and smashes it square for four. That flew. He then latches on to a short ball and pulls to leg but he doesn't get hold of that one and has to settle for three.
"I think it carried to Stokes but it looked like a normal bump ball that Burns jabbed down in to the ground."
Aus 21-0

The umpires have a little check upstairs when Ben Stokes takes a tumbling catch at gully, but replays show it was a bump ball and Joe Burns is cleared to continue.

England, by the way, are in dark blue today after dabbling with their solar red effort in the T20 international. They have more kits than a football team these days. Just one from Steven Finn's latest set of six. Good effort.
Aus 21-0 (Burns 7 off 18)
Joe Burns is struggling to get going and he takes a single after pulling a Steven Finn slow bouncer into the ground.
"The England one-day scene is going to undergo a lot of changes. I don't think players will cement places, there will be a lot of movement. I think they are looking at a rotational system."
Aus 20-0 (Aus won toss)
With Mark Wood struggling to find the right line and length, Eoin Morgan runs over for a quick chat. England need their bowlers to be capable of taking wickets in this format now they've unearthed so many explosive batters. Six from the over.
"Wood is not quite on it. That was a juicy, long, half-volley outside off stump."

Aus 14-0 (Burns 6, Warner 6)
Steven Finn is a lot more experienced than Mark Wood in this format - winning his 63rd cap - and although his strike-rate of 34.1 looks good on paper, he's still miles behind Mitchell Starc's world-leading 23.1. David Warner, by the way, looks in good nick as he leans into a cover drive and gets three.
Who is Joe Burns?
PACopyright: PA
You can be forgiven for not knowing who Joe Burns is, as this is only his fourth international match in any format (two Tests and two ODIs). However, as one of Australia's most promising batsmen, Test and ODI recognition has long been in the offing for the 25-year-old. Burns scored 140 on his Sheffield Shield debut in the 2010-11 season and hit 69 a week ago on his ODI debut against Ireland. Not as explosive as Aaron Finch, whose injury left the opener spot free, but more than capable of providing a fitting foil for David Warner at the top of the Aussie order.
Aus 9-0
England clearly liked what they saw from Reece Topley in Monday's T20 international. They certainly have some exciting options now.
Mark Wood, in only his fifth ODI, recovers from his two wides to send down four consecutive dots.
Topley called up
Aus 9-0
Mark Wood shares new ball duties - I believe we've still got two balls, one for each end - and he is worked for three by David Warner before delivering a couple of wides. Perhaps trying too hard, he is a bit leggy to begin with.

Mat Evans: Taylor is unlucky not to play in all formats for England. What are the new regulations Morgan talked about at the toss?
There are now two fielders permitted outside the circle from overs 1-10 (but no longer any compulsory catchers), four outside from overs 11-40 and five from 41-50 - so there's no longer any choice over when a "powerplay" is taken. And you get a free hit after any no-ball (not just front-foot no-balls).
Aus 4-0 (Aus won toss)
APCopyright: AP
This pitch looks like a newly-polished coffee table - it's got to be full of runs, it's spotless. Steven Finn is on the money straight away, with the nervous Joe Burns getting off the mark with a fortunate four off the inside edge and through square leg. Good start from the tall quick.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Sky Sports: "I am just getting the extra responsibility and I think I am thriving on that.
"Cricket is a funny game. generally when you are doing things well you can't keep yourself out of the game. I work on my fielding as much as my batting and bowling.
"We need to not believe we can do the same as we did against New Zealand in every game. We need to assess the conditions.
"We are very inexperienced and are building a team. It is about getting the guys through who perform for their counties and build a team around them."
Post update
I agree with some of your comments - Moeen is the Phil Neville of this England team. His versatility seemingly counts against him. I remember him striking an entertaining half-century last summer at number seven and, in the next game, if memory serves me right he was pushed up to open.
And don't get me started on James Taylor. A consistent and classy performer who deserves to stay at number three for an extended period.

Australia are the favourites with the bookmakers, but you won't get a very good price on England - which is madness when you consider that Steve Smith's men are the world champions and, in the same tournament, Eoin Morgan's side were knocked out at the first hurdle.

Australia's final chance
Of course, this is the final format in which Australia have a chance to win a series before they head down under. The Ashes are safely in England's hands and the solitary T20 played between the two sides on Monday was won by Eoin Morgan's men.
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "The wicket doesn't change a lot here. We probably would have batted first.
"We needed a sixth bowler and Moeen Ali is out best option for an all-rounder. James Taylor is in for Joe Root and hopefully he can carry on where Joe left off.
"You might see a lot of slower bowling in the last 10 overs because of the new regulations."
Captain's view
Australia captain Steve Smith: "It looks a pretty good wicket, it is pretty dry and they are playing two spinners so hopefully we can get them out of the game early.
"We are confident in the way we play one-day cricket. The boys are looking to start well."
Teams
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
A bit of team news for you - England bring in James Taylor to bat at number three and Moeen Ali is down to come in at number seven. We'll also get our first look at Chris Woakes in international cricket this summer.
Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, David Willey and Joe Root are the men to step aside from the last ODI which England played.
And today, the world champions are in town for the beginning of a five-match series.
Expect big things and, as England skipper Eoin Morgan bluntly put it, an end to the "dull cricket" of the past.
If England are going to go down in this series, it's going to be in a hail of boundaries, bails and - mainly for my alliteration purposes - bouncers.
Afternoon!
Remember those days of 50-over cricket where England worked to a template?
Solid openers, nurdlers in the middle order and then one or two who could give it a good whack at the back end of the innings?
Those days are gone. You can only watch them on VHS, DVD or via the internet.
This is a brave new world for England in T20 cricket - one where totals of 400 are possible and where big-hitting batsman follows big-hitting batsman...

With the new ball it came on nice but it was two-pace when the ball got older. We knew we would have to bowl well and we did that.
"This sort of attack has done well for us over a while. We are number one in the world so we have been doing a lot of things right. But you have to assess the conditions.
"We have to recover tonight, drive to London tomorrow and we are looking forward to playing at Lord's."

Pat Cummins is back, no doubt with the intention of blowing the tail away. Moeen has other ideas, though, and hits the ball straight back over the bowler's head for four. He then launches another for two into the off side. The Worcestershire man is such a big asset coming in at seven, especially in these circumstances. Can he do this for England?

The innings played by Matthew Wade for Australia is looking more and more important as this game goes on. England need a similar effort from one of their players. Will it be Eoin Morgan? Maybe.

England's chances of victory are now rated at just 21% according to WASP, which is based on a par score set by the commentators at the ground and then takes into account how previous run chases have unfolded from this position.

There is a lot more energy about the Australian field now. They've been given an inch and are eager to take a mile.

If Australia ever needed the Big Show to live up to his billing it is now and he does just that by dismissing Jason Roy.

First signs that the pace of Pat Cummins and the light - which is that odd combination of fading natural combined with floodlight - could cause the batsmen some problems as Alex Hales plays the wrong line and misses.

"England will know 306 will take some chasing under lights. Back in June, they were bowled out for 302 batting first against New Zealand on this very ground."

Ex-Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh: "On-field volatility seems to have got worse since the advent of television. When the players can see in the dressing-room that an umpire might have made a mistake, some of that respect may disappear. My advice as a coach was that players make far more mistakes than umpires, and to 'get on with it'.
"In the Australia-Pakistan World Cup game earlier this year, Wahab Riaz bowled with terrific pace, bounced out our captain and made life extremely difficult for Shane Watson. It breathed life into the game - and Riaz and Watson were fined for their on-field confrontation. They should have been given a bonus."

Aus 212-6 (Wade 11, Marsh 8)
Does the mystique of leg-spin help pick up wickets? Shane Warne said he only ever bowled two deliveries - a leggie and a straight one - but he'd tell everyone who would listen that he had six or seven variations so that the batsman would get tied up in looking for any subtle deliveries in the run-up and delivery. These two at the wicket know a lot rests on their partnership so they knock the ball into gaps and Mitchell Marsh ends the over by chipping to the extra cover boundary.

It will be criminal if Australia don't get to 300 after their start, especially on this track. But most of the credit for the way the progress has been halted must go to England.

John McNamara: re Bairstow omission [3rd over] - Not a top 3 or bowler, Morgan's captain and Buttler scored a great ton against NZ. Unlucky but hardly laughable.
craig gardner: Surely Willey deserve his places in this ODI team they want the left-arm variety, he's at top of game and now left out.
Chris Parker: Woakes is decent, but for me Willey is better with bat and ball no idea why he's not in the side.
Aus 81-1 (Woakes 4-0-14-0)
Steve Smith is Australia's leading batsman these days but it's only in 2014 and 2015 in which he averages more than 28 for the calendar year. He looked in good nick at Cardiff on Monday in the T20 game though and England will want to get him early. The run-rate has dried up a little, Woakes and Rashid doing a good containing job.

Aus 78-1
The first blow to Australia's progress brings Steve Smith to the crease. He gets off the mark by punching one in to the off side off the back foot for a single, before Warner adds another with a prod to leg. It has taken a little while for England to make the breakthrough but now they have it they will hope to build on it.

WICKET
Burns c&b Rashid 44 (Aus 76-1)
What's that saying about rubbish bowling getting wickets? A couple of nicely-floated leggies are charged at by Joe Burns but when Adil Rashid delivers a full toss the batsman can only get a leading edge back to the bowler. 1-0 to Rashid.

"Warner has the incredible ability to spot the pace of the ball out of the hand. Steve Smith is the same, they pick the ball up so quickly."
Aus 72-0 (Warner 30 off 34)
David Warner has spoken about playing baseball professionally in the past and you can see why he'd be good at it - the left-hander playing a flat-batted shot to a Chris Woakes slower ball and it is dispatched to the boundary with interest.
Good variation from Woakes though who sees Joe Burns coming at him and slips in a lively bouncer which the batsman sways away from.

Paul Lewis: Great to see James Taylor given a chance. Moeen for Billings is a good change - gives more options. Not sure about Woakes though.
Wightrider: Root is Eng long term No.3 so silly for Ali to settle there, using Taylor as "fill in" is a wise choice.
Ben Sutton: Very glad to see James Taylor in and I'd keep him in even when Root comes back.
Aus 60-0
There's always a lot spoken about Chris Woakes and his lack of pace, but his speeds in this game have been pretty good so far. In the last six balls delivered his speeds have been (all in mph): 85.7, 85.4, 86.8. 87.9, 88.1 & 84.6.
Just one run from the over and a very good bouncer which surprised Joe Burns.

Aus 59-0 (Burns 36 off 41)
Eoin Morgan has a slip in place for Adil Rashid who is allowed four fielders outside the circle as added protection. Giving the ball plenty of air and ripping it through his fingers, Rashid is milked for ones and twos - the two batsmen sitting back in their crease and watching the ball onto the bat. Five from the over.

Aus 51-0 (run-rate: 5.77)
The batsmen have had long enough to size up the conditions and the bowlers now, Joe Burns getting hold of one in the slot and chipping four back down the ground. The type of shot which Ian Bell used to play so well in this form of the game.
Another boundary follows when David Warner turns a hip-tickler round the corner. Excellent placement and timing.

Former Prime Minister John Major and Chris Tarrant are two of the VIPs at the Ageas Bowl today. Who would make up your cricketing cabinet? I'd love to see Joe Root in some sort of role at Downing Street.
Joe Burns is showing he's a technically correct batsman, the right-hander guiding four past the diving gully fielder. Then he tries to go over the infield but doesn't time the ball so can only take two.

"This match is the first ODI that England will play under the ICC's new fielding restrictions. June's run-filled series against New Zealand included the mandatory five-over batting powerplay, which has been ditched.
"What replaces it are three distinct powerplays: the first 10 overs, overs 11-40, then overs 41-50. As a guide, it's the same as the conditions which the counties have been playing under in this season's One-Day Cup.
"The change could be one reason why we perhaps don't see scores of 400-plus in 50 overs this time round, but in the modern game, anything is still possible."
Aus 33-0 (run-rate 4.71)
I'll be honest... I don't know what those outfits are. Kangaroos? They'll look a sight getting on the bus home at 11pm tonight. Out in the middle, Australia seem keen to preserve their wickets rather than taking advantage of just two fielders outside the circle in the first 10 overs. They're dealing in ones and twos.

Well, if Burns was affected by that review he doesn't show it as he leans in to the next ball and smashes it square for four. That flew. He then latches on to a short ball and pulls to leg but he doesn't get hold of that one and has to settle for three.

Aus 14-0 (Burns 6, Warner 6)
Steven Finn is a lot more experienced than Mark Wood in this format - winning his 63rd cap - and although his strike-rate of 34.1 looks good on paper, he's still miles behind Mitchell Starc's world-leading 23.1. David Warner, by the way, looks in good nick as he leans into a cover drive and gets three.
Who is Joe Burns?
You can be forgiven for not knowing who Joe Burns is, as this is only his fourth international match in any format (two Tests and two ODIs). However, as one of Australia's most promising batsmen, Test and ODI recognition has long been in the offing for the 25-year-old. Burns scored 140 on his Sheffield Shield debut in the 2010-11 season and hit 69 a week ago on his ODI debut against Ireland. Not as explosive as Aaron Finch, whose injury left the opener spot free, but more than capable of providing a fitting foil for David Warner at the top of the Aussie order.
Aus 9-0
England clearly liked what they saw from Reece Topley in Monday's T20 international. They certainly have some exciting options now.
Mark Wood, in only his fifth ODI, recovers from his two wides to send down four consecutive dots.
Topley called up
Aus 9-0
Mark Wood shares new ball duties - I believe we've still got two balls, one for each end - and he is worked for three by David Warner before delivering a couple of wides. Perhaps trying too hard, he is a bit leggy to begin with.

Mat Evans: Taylor is unlucky not to play in all formats for England. What are the new regulations Morgan talked about at the toss?
There are now two fielders permitted outside the circle from overs 1-10 (but no longer any compulsory catchers), four outside from overs 11-40 and five from 41-50 - so there's no longer any choice over when a "powerplay" is taken. And you get a free hit after any no-ball (not just front-foot no-balls).
Aus 4-0 (Aus won toss)
This pitch looks like a newly-polished coffee table - it's got to be full of runs, it's spotless. Steven Finn is on the money straight away, with the nervous Joe Burns getting off the mark with a fortunate four off the inside edge and through square leg. Good start from the tall quick.

"We are very inexperienced and are building a team. It is about getting the guys through who perform for their counties and build a team around them."

I agree with some of your comments - Moeen is the Phil Neville of this England team. His versatility seemingly counts against him. I remember him striking an entertaining half-century last summer at number seven and, in the next game, if memory serves me right he was pushed up to open.
And don't get me started on James Taylor. A consistent and classy performer who deserves to stay at number three for an extended period.

Australia are the favourites with the bookmakers, but you won't get a very good price on England - which is madness when you consider that Steve Smith's men are the world champions and, in the same tournament, Eoin Morgan's side were knocked out at the first hurdle.

Australia's final chance
Of course, this is the final format in which Australia have a chance to win a series before they head down under. The Ashes are safely in England's hands and the solitary T20 played between the two sides on Monday was won by Eoin Morgan's men.
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "The wicket doesn't change a lot here. We probably would have batted first.
"We needed a sixth bowler and Moeen Ali is out best option for an all-rounder. James Taylor is in for Joe Root and hopefully he can carry on where Joe left off.
"You might see a lot of slower bowling in the last 10 overs because of the new regulations."
Captain's view
Australia captain Steve Smith: "It looks a pretty good wicket, it is pretty dry and they are playing two spinners so hopefully we can get them out of the game early.
"We are confident in the way we play one-day cricket. The boys are looking to start well."
Teams
A bit of team news for you - England bring in James Taylor to bat at number three and Moeen Ali is down to come in at number seven. We'll also get our first look at Chris Woakes in international cricket this summer.
Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, David Willey and Joe Root are the men to step aside from the last ODI which England played.
Australia: Warner, Burns, Smith, Bailey, Maxwell, Watson, Wade, M Marsh, Starc, Coulter-Nile, Cummins.
England: Roy, Hales, Taylor, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Moeen, Rashid, Woakes, Wood, Finn.

Australia win the toss and will bat first...
Boundaries, bails & bouncers
And today, the world champions are in town for the beginning of a five-match series.
Expect big things and, as England skipper Eoin Morgan bluntly put it, an end to the "dull cricket" of the past.
If England are going to go down in this series, it's going to be in a hail of boundaries, bails and - mainly for my alliteration purposes - bouncers.
Afternoon!
Remember those days of 50-over cricket where England worked to a template?
Solid openers, nurdlers in the middle order and then one or two who could give it a good whack at the back end of the innings?
Those days are gone. You can only watch them on VHS, DVD or via the internet.
This is a brave new world for England in T20 cricket - one where totals of 400 are possible and where big-hitting batsman follows big-hitting batsman...
