DUBAI, OCT 30: England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to bowl to Australia in a meeting of unbeaten teams in the Twenty20 World Cup on Saturday.

England were unchanged from the team that scored dominant victories over West Indies and Bangladesh in their opening two games.

Australia made one change from the eleven that beat Sri Lanka, bringing in spinner Ashton Agar for all-rounder Mitchell Marsh to beef up their bowling attack.

After winning their first two matches, the teams are level on points at the top of Group 1, but England have a huge edge in the tiebreaker, net run rate.
