Australia's resources have again been stretched for the ODI series decider in Bristol with captain Mitchell Marsh ruled out after pulling up sore following Lord's. Steven Smith will lead the visitors who have handed a debut to allrounder Cooper Connolly. Despite the series being on the line, England has rested Jofra Archer, and Olly Stone is returning. Harry Brook said he would have bowled first on an overcast day with rain forecast in the afternoon.
