After slumping to a shocking defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka, hosts England will look to bounce back and return to the winning ways when they take on defending champions Australia in a crucial clash of the 2019 ICC World Cup at the Lord's in London on Tuesday.
The Eoin Morgan-led side, who entered into the marquee event as hot favourites, slipped to the fourth spot in the points table after suffering an unexpected 20-run defeat against Dimuth Karunaratne's Sri Lanka.
England now have four wins from six matches and they have to win at least two of their remaining three games against strong contenders like Australia, India and New Zealand to make it to the semi-finals.
However, it won't be an easy task for England as they have never managed to register a single win against these three sides in the World Cup in the last 27 years.
England will be without their star batsman Jason Roy, who has failed to fully recover from a hamstring injury.
Australia, on the other hand, are standing at the second spot with five wins from six matches. The Aaron Finch-led side are coming into the clash against England following a 48-run win over Bangladesh.
The two squads are as follows:
England: Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (wk), Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
Australia: Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Shaun Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Pat Cummins, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon
