Both Team Unchanged Australia Opt to Bat Against England

Melbourne: Australian captain Cameron White has won the toss and has chosen to bat first in the second Twenty20 International against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Both sides have named unchanged lineups after England took the opening game of the series in Adelaide on Wednesday night.

Play will get underway on time despite heavy rain falling in Melbourne on Friday morning and through the week.

"The wicket looks pretty good, it might be on the slow side," White said after winning the toss.

Australia: Cameron White (capt), David Warner, Shane Watson, David Hussey, Aaron Finch, Steven Smith, Tim Paine, Mitchell Johnson, Stephen O'Keefe, Brett Lee, Shaun Tait. 12th man: James Pattinson.

England: Paul Collingwood (capt), Ian Bell, Steve Davies, Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Luke Wright, Timothy Bresnan, Michael Yardy, Chris Woakes, Graeme Swann, Ajmal Shahzad. 12th man: Steven Finn.
