Aaron Finch and Eoin Morgan
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 Sri Lanka. Australia, on the other hand, are standing at the second spot with five wins from six matches.

Eoin Morgan-led England won the toss and elected to field first against the Aaron Finch-led Australia in a crucial clash of the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup at the Lord's in London on Tuesday. While the hosts are going with an unchanged squad, Australia have called up Nathan Lyon and Jason Behrendorff in place of Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter-Nile, respectively.
