Toss England chose to bowl vs Australia
Harry Brook won this third toss in a row as England captain – that bit of the job is going well, at least – and chose to bowl in overcast conditions for the start of the third ODI at Chester-le-Street.
“It’s a long time to bat [50 overs]. We’ve picked guys because of their capabilities, they’re in their side for a reason, we don’t want to change that. Want them to go out there and do what they’ve done for their counties.”
“We’ve got a real good side out today, and a chance of winning the series,” Marsh said. “It’s about rocking up and trying to win a game for Australia.”
