Marcus Harris lead the response with 75 runs and while no other player reached 50, the hosts went on to score 267 runs. Scott Boland then bowled one of the best debut spells ever, taking 6-7 as England were bowled out for a measly 68 runs.

Travis Head has tested positive for COVID-19. Usman Khawaja is likely to feature in the middle order.
England Form

In Melbourne Joe Root scored 50 runs but no one else passed the 35 run mark in a 185-run total. James Anderson took 4-33 as England dismissed the Aussies for 267 runs, a very good effort overall.
