Heavy rain could disrupt the Melbourne Cricket Ground showdown and even see the teams crowned joint champions if unable to complete a match of at least 10 overs per side by the end of the reserve day on Monday.
However, conditions should hold up long enough to deliver a contest between the two nations who played for the 50-overs World Cup 30 years ago at the MCG.
Dawid Malan (groin) and Mark Wood (hip) remain doubtful with niggles. However, the duo did go throught the drills where Wood sent down a few deliveries while Malan faced throwdowns from Michael Hussey. With the MCG’s large square boundaries, England might opt to play a swing bowler and opt for David Willey instead of Chris Jordan.
