Australia won the toss and decided to bowl against England

Mahli Beardman will sit out the second ODI against England in Adelaide following his stunning debut in Perth as he is managed on his return from a stress fracture.

Australia opted to bowled first again as the coin fell in Mitchell Marsh's favour on a cool day.

"We would have bowled. We've got to do both aspects of the game so we'll have to bat well first," England captain Harry Brook said. "We've had some conversations and got to be a bit more positive."

Beardman took 6 for 24 at Optus Stadium, the best figures for Australia on ODI debut, as he ripped out the best of England's batting. However, after a lengthy flight and a short turnaround there is a cautious approach being taken with the 21-year-old, but he is in line to return for the final game in Hobart on Wednesday.

Riley Meredith has been brought into the squad for the final two matches of the series and comes straight into the XI for Beardman.

England have also made one change with Sonny Baker replacing Jamie Overton. Liam Dawson continues to be preferred ahead of Adil Rashid as the frontline spinner.
