1st T20
ENGLAND VS AUSTRALIA
TODAY AT 11PM
Team News
England
Assistant coach Paul Farbrace confirmed that Jos Buttler will open the batting for just the second time at the international T20 level which means Alex Hales at three and Jonny Bairstow likely to fit into the middle order. David Willey, Liam Plunkett and Chris Jordan should make up the seam-bowling attack with Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali - plus Joe Root if necessary - providing the spin.
Australia
Batsman Glenn Maxwell should return to the side after missing the final two ODIs with a shoulder injury while D'Arcy Short, so explosive for Hobart Hurricanes during the last Big Bash, will likely partner Finch at the top of the order. Given the batting-friendly conditions expected, leggie Mitchell Swepson may play alongside Ashton Agar in a dual spin attack.
