Arch-rivals England and Australia face each other in a group stage match at Lord's.

England have won the toss and elected to bowl first. 

England are currently fourth on the points table, whereas Australia sit second. A win for either team would mean qualification almost confirmed, so both teams would be desperate for one. 

England are unchanged, whereas Australia bring in Nathan Lyon and Jason Behrendroff in place of Nathan Coulter-Nile and Adam Zampa. 

England -  1. Jonny Bairstow, 2. James Vince, 3. Joe Root, 4. Eoin Morgan (c), 5. Ben Stokes, 6. Jos Buttler (wk), 7. Moeen Ali, 8. Chris Woakes, 9. Adil Rashid, 10. Jofra Archer, 11. Mark Wood

Australia -  1. Aaron Finch (c), 2. David Warner, 3. Usman Khawaja, 4. Steven Smith, 5. Glenn Maxwell, 6. Marcus Stoinis, 7. Alex Carey (wk), 8. Jason Behrendorff, 9. Pat Cummins, 10. Mitchell Starc, 11. Nathan Lyon
