Australia and England open their three-match ODI series on Friday 13 November at Perth Stadium, with the first ball at 11:30am in Perth and 2:30pm AEDT on the east coast. The match is live on Kayo and on Fox Cricket through Foxtel, and nowhere else: men's white-ball internationals are not on Seven or 7plus, so there is no free-to-air broadcast. Mitchell Marsh captains an Australian side without Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, and England arrive without fast bowler Josh Tongue, ruled out of the ODIs with a toe injury.

First ODI start time in your state

Cricket Australia lists the Perth match as a day-night game, so the second innings is played under lights. This is the first ball in every Australian time zone:

How to watch Australia v England in Australia

There are two ways to watch the first ODI, and both are paid.

• Kayo: every ball of the series is live and on demand. Kayo Standard is $29.99 a month for one screen and Kayo Premium is $45.99 a month for two screens. Kayo no longer offers a traditional free trial to every new customer; on 21 October Finder reported an introductory offer of $1 for the first month of Premium, so check what is offered when you sign up. You can cancel at any time, so a month covers all three ODIs and all five T20Is.
• Foxtel: the match is on Fox Cricket. The channel becomes Kayo Cricket in 2027, but for this series it is still called Fox Cricket.

Seven and 7plus will not show it. Under Cricket Australia's broadcast agreements, which run to 2030-31, all men's white-ball matches are exclusive to Foxtel and Kayo, and Seven's international cricket is the Tests and the women's internationals.

Fox Cricket's commentary team for the summer includes Gerard Whateley and Alyssa Healy, who are new this season, with Adam Gilchrist, Isa Guha, Michael Vaughan, Mark Waugh, Brett Lee and David Warner among the regulars. Foxtel has not published a line-up for this match on its own.

Australia's ODI squad

Selectors named 14 players on 2 November:

• Mitchell Marsh (captain)
• Xavier Bartlett
• Mahli Beardman
• Alex Carey
• Cooper Connolly
• Jack Edwards
• Cameron Green
• Travis Head
• Josh Inglis
• Spencer Johnson
• Ollie Peake
• Matthew Renshaw
• Liam Scott
• Adam Zampa

Who is missing. Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood have been rested after the three-Test series in South Africa, before a block of 10 Tests that starts against New Zealand in December. Nathan Ellis misses the ODIs while he recovers from a side strain picked up in South Africa in September, and is in the T20I squad. Matt Short is in neither squad after a hip procedure that will keep him out for about five weeks.

Who to watch. Mahli Beardman, the Western Australian fast bowler, is expected to make his ODI debut in Perth. He played a T20I against Pakistan in Lahore in January, then spent months rebuilding after a back stress fracture, and is bowling in the mid-140s km/h again. Selection chair George Bailey said his form for Australia A had been impressive.

England's ODI squad

England named 16 players on 13 October, captained by Harry Brook:

• Harry Brook (captain)
• Jofra Archer
• Gus Atkinson
• Sonny Baker
• Tom Banton
• Jacob Bethell
• Jordan Cox
• Henry Crocombe
• Sam Curran
• Liam Dawson
• Ben Duckett
• Will Jacks
• Jamie Overton
• Adil Rashid
• Joe Root
• Josh Tongue (ruled out)

The ICC reported on 7 November that Tongue has been ruled out of the ODI series with a left big toe injury and is returning to the UK for assessment. No replacement had been named at the time of writing.

Jacob Bethell is back from the knee injury he suffered in July and Jofra Archer returns after being rested from the tri-series in Pakistan. Jos Buttler is not in either squad while he recovers from hamstring surgery. Archer, Atkinson and Baker leave after the ODIs so they are fresh for England's Test tour of South Africa. Brendon McCullum is the white-ball coach.

England warmed up with a 92-run win over Western Australia at the WACA on Saturday 7 November. Rashid took 4-35, Archer 3-34 and Duckett made 59.

The last time they met in an ODI

The last men's ODI between the two sides was at the Champions Trophy in Lahore on 22 February 2025. Ben Duckett made 165 in England's 351/8, and Australia chased it down with 15 balls to spare, Josh Inglis finishing unbeaten on a century. Both teams are using this series to build towards the 2027 World Cup.
