Australia meanwhile are looking to consolidate their semi-final spot as they sit in third spot on the table with eight points from six games.

Rachin Ravindra has scored his third ton at CWC 2023 in the other game today!

Ravindra has brought up his third ton of this World Cup while Kane Williamson marked his return to the side with a superb 95-run knock as New Zealand are dominating after being asked to bat first by Pakistan.

Toss: England win toss, opt to bowl! 

Jos Buttler says there's still plenty to play for despite a dismal campaign so far

We will bowl first. Little bit tacky, should get better as the game goes on, we'll have to bat better. Had some time away from the game which was nice, and then back to practice., Playing against Australia is always good, plenty to play for, some pride and there's a Champions Trophy place to secure. Same team for us.
Jos Buttler (England Captain)

Two changes for Australia as Stoinis and Green come in for Maxwell and Marsh

We were batting actually, so not fussed about losing the toss. Our opening batters are looking good, Stoinis and Cam Green come into the XI in place of Maxwell and Marsh. This clash always has a bit of spice, a great time to play them and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Pat Cummins (Australia Captain)

Adam Zampa followed up his impressive knock with the bat by registering impressive figures of 3/21 with the ball.

Australia now sit in third spot on the table with 10 points after their fifth win on the trot.

Adam Zampa is named the Player of the Match for his impressive all-round performance

Summing up conditions. Thought we put up a competitive total, the ground got really wet. For me, length control, attacking the stumps, trying to read the batter. Probably came out as well as it ever has tonight. [Batting] Stay positive and bat out the 50. Important to rotate strike and get to end of innings. [Willey catch] Sometimes they stick, one of those days.
Adam Zampa (29 runs off 19 balls & 3/21)
