No Jason Roy is no problem for skipper Eoin Morgan, as England aim to extend their recent dominance over Australia. (2019 CRICKET WORLD CUP FULL COVERAGE)
Since the start of 2017, England have won ten of 11 ODIs against their oldest rival 바카라 both at home and Down Under 바카라 to potentially gain a psychological advantage heading into the clash at Lord바카라s.
But the hosts will have to do without opening batsman Roy once again, as Morgan confirmed he is yet to recover from the torn hamstring that has ruled him out of the past two ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup 2019 matches.
James Vince has filled in for Roy 바카라 making 26 against Afghanistan and14 in the surprise loss to Sri Lanka last time out 바카라 but Morgan is confident the 28-year-old is capable of stepping up.
바카라Jason went for another scan and he won바카라t be fit for the game,바카라 said the England captain. 바카라We바카라ll monitor his progress during week.
바카라Putting one game on it [when Roy might return] isn바카라t sensible 바카라 we바카라ll see how he goes. Obviously Jason is an outstanding performer and the way he plays epitomises the way we play as a group.
바카라But I바카라m confident we have the batting covered. James Vince is an extremely talented and gifted player 바카라 you can see that by watching him.
바카라I바카라m not concerned [that he hasn바카라t hit many runs]. We have every faith in him to get a score at some stage and it바카라s important he continues playing in own way.바카라
England바카라s sole loss to Australia in the last two years came by three wickets at Adelaide in January 2018, giving Morgan바카라s men a level of supremacy over their rivals that they haven바카라t enjoyed at any other point in history.
However, they did lose an official tournament warm-up game against Aaron Finch's side in Southampton but the fixture wasn바카라t an official first class fixture, with sides able to use more than 11 players.
Both sides are fighting to make the semi-finals at this World Cup but Morgan is confident his troops won바카라t wilt under the added pressure, although he warned against reading too much into the recent head-to-head record.
바카라England against Australia is a good match-up for both teams and normally a really good game,바카라 added the skipper. 바카라In the last two years, the scoreline probably hasn바카라t been fair as both sides have played well.
바카라The way we both play lends itself to a good game of cricket, so it is a challenge.
바카라Australia are probably predictable in the same way we are 바카라 we play each other so often that we know them inside out, just like they do us. It바카라s a matter of producing on the day.
바카라Playing Australia can be a different feeling but that feeling has been nullified by playing them so much.
바카라We바카라ve won games under pressure throughout this World Cup already and have performed under pressure for a long time 바카라 both away from home and at home.
바카라There바카라s no question mark around our ability to play under pressure.바카라
