Toss

Australia have won the toss and opted to field. The norm for this series has been to bowl first. Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the final game due to a hamstring problem. England have given chances to Ball and Willey.

Teams:

England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, David Willey, Tom Curran, Jake Ball

Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Travis Head, Steven Smith(c), Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Tim Paine(w), Mitchell Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Build up:

After slipping to 3 consecutive defeats, Australia pulled one back in the five-match ODI series against England in Adelaide. The visitors, however, will look to end their successful ODI campaign with a victory in Perth.

Hazlewood and Cummins will again look to cause some damage up front. The pace spearhead, Starc, could return to the side. While for England, they will hope that their explosive batsmen, who couldn't make it count in Adelaide, will bounce back.

History also will be made on Sunday in a new chapter for Perth's derided sports scene. After years of planning and construction, the much-anticipated (AUD) $1 billion Perth Stadium will be unveiled in the fifth and final One Day International (ODI) between Australia and England.
