London: Michael Clarke will be hoping for a better performance from his side as Australia look to make it 1-1 heading into The Oval.
Australia, meanwhile, will be keen to register their first win of the series and get their campaign back on track.
Consistently above 90mph at Lord's Steve Finn will have a firmer deck to get through at The Oval which will help him even more. He has been England best bowler in the last few ODI series and is England's answer to the young quicks that Australia are bringing through. Finn has the firepower to take out Australia's big hitters and is key to providing a sharp edge to England's attack.
Surrey fast bowler Stuart Meaker was drafted into the England squad as cover for James Anderson, who was struggling with his groin in the opening game. If England decide not to risk playing Anderson,
A harder, flatter pitch might help the quicker bowlers but it will also provide a perfect platform for David Warner. He hits the ball so hard and has a marvellous ability to hit cleanly through the line and use the pace of the ball to cut, again with immense power.

Pitch and conditions
The weather at Lord's was nearly the Australian's 12th man, with the ball zipping around at the start of England's innings. No such advantages should be experienced at The Oval with the forecast fine with period of sunshine expected. The wicket looks brown and hard and should be quicker than Lord's.
