Harry Brook:
Mitchell Marsh: Change in coin, change of luck. We are going to bowl first. We were pretty good, but were outplayed due a couple of good innings. Inglis comes back. Carey is still in, he is in good form.
Australia have won the toss and have opted to field
Right then, we are not far away from toss..
Sean Abbott: It's been good so far in this series, a bit up and down. We have played some good cricket. England played well in the last game. I have bowled okay, but haven't contributed like the way I wanted to. Once Brook and Jacks got settled, they played well, credit to them. Playing for Australia is a great honour, especially against England. There are a few guys you are down with injury, plenty of talent around. I think it's mainly managing your time. I find myself coming here and play for Surrey. It's about managing your time. I don't find the transfer of skills much different across formats. You got to be fresh and represent your country when opportunity comes. I think the standards in England's domestic cricket are really high, got a huge respect for English cricketers. They play in a different way, I really enjoy that challenge. Really lucky that I get to play for Surrey. I have enjoyed my time playing here, for Surrey and also in the Hundred.
Conditions: The pitch looks good, it looks nice and hard. It's extremely cloudy, but Lord's has a good drainage system. Nothing much to concern about, reckons Eoin Morgan. The players are out warming up.. Hopefully we can get underway soon.
12:57 Local Time, 11:57 GMT, 17:27 IST: "Toss set for 1.30pm,"
12:27 Local Time, 11:27 GMT, 16:57 IST: It has stopped raining and the grounstaff are out in the middle.
12:03 Local Time, 11:03 GMT, 16:33 IST: Toss is officially delayed.
Will Jacks: Really pleased with that (on his partnership with Harry Brook in the previous ODI). Really enjoyed that partnership and he batted brilliantly. The interesting thing about him is that he keeps things simple. Hopefully first of the many (centuries) for him. I think it suits me, 50-over cricket allows me to take my time and allows me to play the way I want to play. The way 50-over cricket is, it allows you to play good cricketing shots. Most times, you have to play good shots. (On Zampa) We know how strong he is. We looked to target him in the T20s. We know how important he is for them. I'd like to say every game is getting easier, I really enjoy the format, it suits my tempo. Firstly we'll have to be patient with the rain and then be adaptable. My first game for England at Lord's. Any game against Australia is massive.
12:03 Local Time, 11:03 GMT, 16:33 IST: Toss is officially delayed. It's still raining. "The radar says that rain will stop in an hour," says Nasser Hussain.
11:43 Local Time, 10:43 GMT, 16:13 IST: It's raining at the moment and the covers are in place. Looks like toss will be delayed.
11:20 Local Time, 10:20 GMT, 15:50 IST: After losing the first two games of the 5-match ODI series, England managed to clinch a win in the third ODI and kept the series alive. The Aussies were clinical in their two wins, however, Harry Brook’s century proved to be too good for the visitors in the last game. The action now moves to the Mecca of Cricket - Lord’s. Usually a decent surface for batting, so the batters will be looking forward to making the conditions count. Both the teams have some in-form players, so let’s hope we have a cracking contest. If Australia win today, they take the series. An England win ensures the series stays alive. Stay around for the toss and teams, they are not far away..
