Follow our live coverage of England's tour match against Chairman's XI in Alice Springs Earlier this year England all-rounder Ben Stokes was sent packing from Australia after too many boozy nights, but now he's looking for an Ashes debut in Adelaide after a dramatic change in attitude. England are out to get themselves into form in Alice Springs. AN experimental England line-up will bat first in Alice Springs after Chairman's XI captain Michael Beer won the toss at Traeger Park. The tourists are fielding an experimental line-up that does not feature regular captain Alastair Cook and star batsman Kevin Pietersen, along with pacemen James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Tremlett. There are a couple of serious selection battles taking place in the tour match, with Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Gary Ballance in a three-way battle to replace Jonathan Trott, while Tremlett's average performance in Brisbane means he's not guaranteed of a start in the second Test in Adelaide. For the hosts, it's a chance for a group of second-stringers to make their mark against one of the best teams in the world. All six Sheffield Shield sides are also in action today, with Victoria taking on South Australia at the MCG, Tasmania hosting NSW in Hobart and Perth playing against Queensland at the WACA Ground.
