Australia: David Warner, Cameron Green, Aaron Finch (c), Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Josh Inglis (wk), Daniel Sams, Sean Abbott, Kane Richardson, Mitchell Swepson.

England: Jos Buttler (c/wk), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Mooen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
