ENGLAND made a flying start to the fourth one-day international after being sent in to bat by Australia at the WACA Ground.

The tourists were 2-148 at the halfway mark of their innings, with Ben Stokes (35 n.o.) and Gary Ballance (6 n.o.) at the crease.

Under-fire skipper Alastair Cook, who before the start of the game said he was "desperate to continue in the captaincy just days after saying he would reconsider his role, made 44 at better than a run a ball before being clean bowled by Glenn Maxwell attempting a slog sweep.

Opening partner Ian Bell made it past 50 before he fell into a trap set by Dan Christian, caught at short fine leg by James Faulkner.

After being electric in the field during last Sunday's third ODI, the Aussies weren't quite as effective in Perth, with James Pattinson badly misjudging a catch on the boundary which ended up going way over his head, and Shaun Marsh putting down two very tough chances at slip.

Australia is fielding its weakest team of the summer, with Michael Clarke, David Warner, Shane Watson and Brad Haddin all rested ahead of the tour to South Africa.

The Aussie XI is loaded with all-rounders, with Maxwell, Christian and Faulkner all included, while spinner Xavier Doherty has been left out.

Wicketkeeper Matthew Wade is playing for Australia for the first time this summer.

Australia: Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Matthew Wade, George Bailey (c), Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Daniel Christian, James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Pattinson.

England: Alastair Cook (c), Ian Bell, Ben Stokes, Gary Ballance, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara, Jos Buttler, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Chris Jordan, James Tredwell.
