AUSTRALIA'S bowlers will need a huge effort to pull off an unlikely victory after the hosts were restricted to 9-217 from their 50 overs in the fifth and final one-day international against England in Adelaide.

George Bailey was the only batsman to pass 50 as the Aussies struggled for quick runs on a slow Adelaide Oval pitch.

England's bowlers deserve credit for their disciplined performance, with Stuart Broad (3-31) and Ben Stokes (3-43) taking advantage of the favourable bowling conditions.

Aussie skipper Michael Clarke, returning to the side after being rested from the fourth one-dayer in Perth, won the toss and chose to bat first but would have been questioning that decision when he was brought to the crease with the score 2-22.

Clarke (8) and Shane Watson (0) were out cheaply, with Shaun Marsh the only top order batsman to make a meaningful total before he was removed by Stokes for 36.

Glenn Maxwell (22), Matthew Wade (31) and James Faulkner (27) all made starts but none could convert this into a big score, with Australia amazing not able to hit a six for the entire innings.

Clarke, seamer Clint McKay, all-rounder Watson and spinner Xavier Doherty were all recalled to the side. Mitchell Johnson was rested while Steve Smith, Dan Christian and speedster James Pattinson were all axed.

For England, Gary Ballance was replaced by top order batsman Joe Root.

Australia leads the series 3-1.

Australia: Shaun Marsh, Aaron Finch, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke, George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade, James Faulkner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty.

England: Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara, Jos Buttler, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Chris Jordan, James Tredwell.
