Australia takes on England in first one-day international of summer at MCG Alistair Cook won the toss and elected to bat, but thats where the good news stopped for Cook with the English captain knocked over for only 4 runs and Joe Root not fairing much better. Ian Bell was clean bowled by Xavier Doherty. IT was a case of new format, same old story for England in the opening stages of the first one-day international against Australia at the MCG. Midway through its innings England sat at 3-102, with Eoin Morgan (24 not out off 25) playing a good counter-attacking knock after the tourists stumbled early. He was being well supported by Zimbabwe-born Gary Ballance, who was on 26 n.o. off 42 balls. Earlier, Alastair Cook's horror summer continued as he was caught behind off the bowling of Clint McKay in the first over the match. The Victorian paceman soon had his second wicket, dismissing Joe Root lbw despite the Englishman's decision to call for a review. England has included inexperienced bowler Chris Jordan in its line-up, one of just three specialist bowlers, as spinner James Tredwell was a surprise omission. Australia, meanwhile, omitted James Pattinson and Shaun Marsh from its squad, meaning Michael Clarke will play a spin duo in Xavier Doherty and Glenn Maxwell, as well as a pace attack led by one-day specialist Clint McKay. Australia: David Warner, Aaron Finch, Shane Watsonm Michael Clarke (c), George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Haddin, James Faulkner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty. England: Alastair Cook (c), Ian Bell, Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Tim Bresnan, Chris Jordan, Boyd Rankin.
