Eng vs Aus Live | England vs Australia 3rd Odi Live

James Anderson admitted yesterday that the lack of intensity in this series compared to that of the Ashes had surprised him, but it doesn't help when the team is losing. And for that trend to be reversed, it seems inconceivable that Adil Rashid won't be drafted back into the side after his excellent all-round display in the first match at The Oval (31 from 23 and an economical spell with the ball). But it's with the bat that England need to shine, and they are again without the services of Stuart Broad (neck strain) and Joe Denly whose left knee was hacked in a football warm-up prior to the series.
England's allrounder Broad may be unavailable but his Australian counterpart is, and is very much in form. Mitchell Johnson played a vital role in Australia's Lord's victory, transforming a dying innings with a blistering 43 from 23 balls before picking up 2 for 50. But it's the presence and sheer speed of Brett Lee that has provided Michael Clarke's side with that added spice. Frustrated at having to sit out of the Ashes, Lee's bursting with energy and he's not finished yet either, and even without Ricky Ponting to lead the side, Australia look the hungrier of the two teams.
