It is to inform you that the Live Scores of the match will be available here.

England will try to win three straight one-dayers for the first time since 2005 when they face Australia at the MCG in Friday's first CB Series final.

The tourists beat the Aussies and New Zealand to clinch their finals place.

But Michael Vaughan will play no part because of a hamstring problem, so Andrew Flintoff will captain the team.

"Michael is going to be a big miss but hopefully we can put in the performance we have in the last two games," all-rounder Paul Collingwood said.

"Everybody is confident and now we have got an opportunity to finish a tour that hasn't gone as well as we would have liked on a real high."

Mal Loye is likely to be recalled, having been replaced by Vaughan against the Kiwis on Tuesday.

Ravi Bopara is also an option but the rest of the side is expected to be the same.

It's been great getting the runs but more important to get back to winning ways Paul Collingwood

The last time England won three ODIs in a row was when they beat Bangladesh (twice) and Australia in June 2005.

Collingwood made 106 in Brisbane after a poor run of form since making a double century in the second Ashes Test in December.

"It has been a long time coming since Adelaide, it has been a tough trot," he added.

"It's been great getting the runs but more important to get back to winning ways and you have to give the boys a lot of credit for beating Australia last week."

Australia are set to make changes too, with captain Ricky Ponting hinting at recalls for spinner Brad Hogg and injury-hit all-rounder Shane Watson.

They have to do it against a team that have dominated them all summer Ricky Ponting on England

Ponting has taken note of England's improvements towards the end of their tour but remains unconvinced by talk from the tourists of a revival.

"There's no doubt they've played some good cricket in the last two games and they will no doubt take some confidence from that.

"I have noticed they've been talking themselves up a fair bit after winning two one-day games in a couple of days.

"Now they have to come out and do it against us, a team that have dominated them all summer."
