Having chalked up a 2-1 T20I series win over their arch rivals earlier this week, Eoin Morgan's side will now look to turn the screw on the tourists in this 50-over series - read on for full details for getting a reliable 2020 England vs Australia ODI live stream.

It has been 6 months since the Aussies beat New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground in their last ODI. Prior to that they'd lost a series 2-1 to India and suffered the ignominy of a 3-0 whitewashed at the hands of South Africa and will be desperate not to repeat that sort of performance here.

England have also had an ODI wobble recently, after recording convincing wins over Ireland in the first two fixtures of their ODI series, only to see the Irish team upset them by seven wickets in the final One-Dayer at The Ageas Bowl back in May.

England vs Australia live stream

This ODI series takes place at Old Trafford in Manchester.

All three matches are day/night affairs with each starting at 1pm BST local time.

Games take place this Friday, Sunday and Wednesday (September 11th, 13th, and 16th).

Brits abroad can ensure they get the cricket coverage they want by grabbing a good VPN - our no. 1 pick, ExpressVPN, currently offers a 30-day money back guarantee (opens in new tab).

Opening batsman Jason Roy has due it into England’s line-up after recovering from the side strain which kept him out of the recent T20I series against Pakistan and Australia. The home side's number one T20I batsman Dawid Malan meanwhile finds himself in the reserves. Skipper Morgan, who missed the final T20 against Australia on Tuesday with a finger injury, has been declared fit.

England, who lost to Australia in the World Cup group stages in 2019 but went on to trounce them in the semi-finals, have not lost a bilateral ODI series since January 2017, and will be determined to uphold that record here in Manchester.

Aside from national pride and bragging rights being at stake, all three matches in this series form part of the Cricket Super League, which counts towards qualification for the 2023 World Cup.

For those Down Under, Fox Sports is generally the place to watch cricket.

Kayo is also significantly cheaper, with a Kayo Sports Basic Package (opens in new tab) costing $25 per month and allowing users to stream across two devices simultaneously.

Sky (opens in new tab) generally enjoys the rights to live cricket coverage in NZ - though as there's no local interest, it doesn't seem that the country's version of Sky Sports is airing this ODI international series.

While the postponed of the T20 World Cup this autumn means the Black Caps have no scheduled matches on the horizon, a number of players are expected to participate in the IPL when that starts in September.
