Australia win toss and bat against England

Australia captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat against England in the day/night sixth one-day international at Trent Bridge here on Thursday.

England, already 5-0 down in the seven-match series, made two changes.

Fast bowling all-rounder Stuart Broad was ruled out of both this match and Sunday's series finale at Durham's Riverside ground with an inflammation of a right knee tendon.

His place was taken by James Anderson after the Lancashire quick had been rested for the previous two matches.

An England spokesman said Broad was expected to be fit for the start next week of the ICC Champions Trophy one-day tournament in South Africa.

Meanwhile off-spinner Graeme Swann was recalled by England in place of leg-spinner Adil Rashid

England all-rounder Paul Collingwood sat out this fixture as he completed a three-game break but could return on Sunday at his home ground.

World champions Australia made two changes from the team that won here by four wickets on Tuesday.

Brett Lee, who took five wickets in Saturday's win at Lord's, came in for rested fellow quick Mitchell Johnson.

And all-rounder James Hopes was given a chance to impress with vice-captain and top-order batsman Michael Clarke left out.

This was the first time this series that Australia had won the toss.
