It all comes down to a decider at the County Ground in Bristol as England and Australia enter the final match of the five-game ODI series locked at two-all.

England vs Australia: Brutal learning curve as ropey batting lets England  down in second ODI

Australia won the first two matches before England have roared back into the series which has followed a similar script to last year’s unforgettable Ashes series – minus the controversy.

Australia has won the toss and chosen to bowl first, with Steve Smith leading the side in Mitchell Marsh’s absence — the incumbent skipper pulled up sore after Friday’s defeat.

West Australian young gun Cooper Connolly makes his ODI debut, with Aaron Hardie and Matt Short also sliding into the starting XI.
