England's top four fell for single-digit scores: Jason Roy for 0, Jonny Bairstow a duck, Alex Hales 3 and Joe Root also without scoring. In conditions favouring the Australian new ball duo of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, England's top order crumbled to deliveries moving in as well as away from them.
Australia won the toss and used the pitch to great effect to dismantle the visitors' powerful batting line-up, something which had troubled the hosts once the ODI series began.
