    England captain Eoin Morgan speaking to Sky Sports: "It looks a good wicket, the sun hasn't been out for a while so a potentially a bit tacky. I don't think it will change a lot so hopefully we can restrict Australia. It is a little bit softer than the Pakistan games.

    "The two Currans miss out and Tom Banton too. It's great to have our senior World Cup players back, for some of them it will be the first white-ball game since that final.

    "The addition of Mark Wood helps as a first change bowler. Old Trafford turns a bit as well so having Rashid and Moeen as a spin option helps as well.

    "Australia are a fantastic side and difficult to beat, we'll have to be close to our best."

    From that team that won the World Cup, Moeen Ali is in for the pace of Liam Plunkett, who hasn't played since that glorious day at Lord's.

    Sam Billings is the man who comes in for the absent Ben Stokes. Apart from that, England are full strength.

    Yep, England have been hammering Australia in ODIs in this country for a while now.

    The final part of the bio-secure summer is in Manchester for three matches between the oldest enemies.

    Are the Aussies in for more punishment at the hands of the word champions?
