Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl against England at the Adelaide Oval in the first of three one-day internationals on Thursday.
England, coming off their Twenty20 World Cup win on Sunday, will be looking to continue their celebrations against an Australia team that has a point to prove against the old enemy.
The visitors have given a debut to left-arm pace bowler Luke Wood, while also bringing back Jason Roy at the top of the order.
Australia failed to make the semi-finals of the World Cup after a poor start when they were thrashed by New Zealand.
After former captain Aaron Finch’s decision to retire from ODIs, Travis Head opens the batting.
