Where you can watch the game depends on your region, and the platforms are listed below.
Broadcast details may vary by region.
Australia are expected to call correctly at the toss and take first strike. Setting a target suits a side with Australia’s batting depth and leaves England’s shaky form to deal with the pressure of a chase. No dew or pitch report has been confirmed, so the call rests on the expected scoring range of 280+ and 270+.
No curator’s report was available at the time of writing, so this pitch report works from the projected scores instead. Totals of 280+ and 270+ suggest a surface that lets batters play their shots, with enough in it for bowlers who hit a good length. Perth’s 131 and a 23.3-over chase came at another ground, so they tell us more about form than about Adelaide.
No temperature or dew reading was available at the time of writing, so treat this weather report as provisional. Cloud cover would help the new-ball bowlers, while a dry, clear day favours batters. Check the local forecast before the toss, because the toss decision and the projected totals could shift if conditions change.
Australia vs. England Team Preview & Squads
Mitchell Marsh captains Australia and is also their listed key batter. After Perth, where Australia needed only 23.3 overs to reach 132, he has little reason to dial anything back. A captain with a settled side and a bowler on 6/24 can stay aggressive, and recent form (W L L W W) says the hosts are trending the right way.
The batting group looks deep, with Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly and Cameron Green all in the squad. Connolly is our pick to top-score and hit the most sixes, and the likely playing XI should lean on that group to reach 280+.
Beardman was Player of the Match in Perth, and Spencer Johnson is tipped to lead the wicket-takers here. Adam Zampa, the key all-rounder, gives Marsh a spin option through the middle overs.

Harry Brook captains England and arrives under pressure. His side have lost four of their last five and went down by seven wickets in Perth after managing 131. Field placings will not fix that on their own, because the runs have to come first.
Tom Banton is the listed key batter, with Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks and Jordan Cox also in the squad. Root is predicted to top-score and hit the most sixes for England, and 270+ is realistic only if the top order lasts the first ten overs.
Gus Atkinson is the key bowler and Jofra Archer is tipped to lead the wicket-takers. Sam Curran, the listed all-rounder, gives Brook balance, while Adil Rashid, Liam Dawson and Jamie Overton add options for the final XI. Their recent run of L L L W L is the reason we are skeptical, even with this much talent on paper.
