Australia (probables): Adam Gilchrist (w), Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting (c), Damien Martyn, Michael Clarke, Simon Katich, Mike Hussey, Brad Hogg, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Andrew Symonds, Michael Kasprowicz, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin

England (probables): Marcus Trescothick, Andrew Strauss, Michael Vaughan (c), Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Geraint Jones (w), Ashley Giles, Jonathan Lewis, Darren Gough, Stephen Harmison, Vikram Solanki, Kabir Ali, Chris Tremlett

Match Venue: Riverside, Chester-le-Street, Durham. The ground has hosted six ODIs so far. The first ODI was a World Cup match between Pakistan and Scotland on May 20, 1999. England has played three NatWest Series matches on this ground :: winning against WI in 2000, a game against India in 2002 which ended in no-result and losing the one against NZ in 2004.

Australia will encounter an England team at the peak of imposing batting performances with the inclusion of speedster Brett Lee in today's game. The Australians will probably rely on spin to tackle Flintoff and Pietersen. Lee will surely add a variety in the Australian pace attack

This is also the home ground of Paul Collingwood, the star in the previous ODI between England and Bangladesh. He made two individual record in the last ODI: became the first England player to take 6 wickets in a ODI and the first player in one-day international history to score a hundred and take six wickets in the same match.

The match is scheduled to start at 1330 GMT.

Michael Vaughan may not play this match due to injury. Ian Bel is his standby.

There are good chances that Brett Lee and Andrew Symonds will play today after missing first two matches.

I have a feeling Aussies will win today.. yet i want England to win.,.....

[babubangla]

I am watching the match in willow tv.
Australia looking good so far.
Harmison is on his first over.
Things may change any time.

[Akib]

Aussies are in trouble as Hyaden goes right now and they are at 93 for 3 going at 4.5 runs per over.

Any live free webcast without Willow TV????

If they want to win, they better start hitting. Mr. P will socre half of it withing 30 balls. Aus is nolonger that confident team. 188/3 after 39 overs.

Why did Trescotick decide to field?

I think that if England had batted first they would have scored stg like 300+ even to Australia...!

[bd_cricket]

So its well below 300.
Aus is 266/5.

This is the first time in my life I am hoping for a England win in this match.

Haha. I remember during 92 worldcup final I was the only one in my family who supported England. Most probably in whole Bangladesh also.

Thats it people, Australia is back (yes I am panicking), no more win against them. Better hope England will slump again in next match.
