Australia recover after early loss

Paine, the Australian wicketkeeper, called for a quick single but was caught three yards short of his ground as Collingwood swooped in at backward point and threw down the stumps.

But opener Shane Watson (41 not out) and Cameron White (34no) built a solid platform for Australia with an unbeaten partnership of 69 by the end of the second powerplay.

England were, as expected, without Joe Denly after the Kent opener injured his knee during a game of football as the squad warmed up for yesterday's practice session.

Andrew Strauss came back into the team after sitting out the win over Ireland in Belfast with Stuart Broad coming in for Jonathan Trott and James Anderson replacing Tim Bresnan.

Collingwood's fielding backed up a tight start from England's bowlers as Australia were limited to 41 for one by the end of the first powerplay.

Broad, back at the scene of his Ashes heroics and appearing in his 50th one-day international, opened with a maiden to Paine and caused White a few early troubles in a five-over spell that went for 16 runs.

But Watson enjoyed greater success against Anderson, opening his account with a flashing cover drive in the first over, and White began to cut loose after overcoming his uncertain start.

With little swing on show, White tucked into a wayward spell from Ryan Sidebottom and Watson then struck consecutive fours from Broad.

Luke Wright posed few problems and White drilled him for a straight four and then despatched a short delivery to the mid-wicket boundary.
