Two different build ups for each team's captains. George Bailey, the Aussie skip, has been banned for one match due to his side having a slow over rate, so Steve Smith deputises in this one. England's captain, Eoin Morgan, has been the subject of a failed blackmail bid by the boyfriend of his former girlfriend. Strange goings on.
Last week Australia hammered England in the opening match of this tri series, blown away by Yorkshire's Mitchell Starc. They now are making changes to tweak their line up ahead of the World Cup. As well as the suspended Bailey, there are rests for David Warner and Shane Watson, with Cameron White and Shaun Marsh coming in.
England, after that surprise win over India, should be unchanged.
