England vs Australia, Cricket World Cup 2019 LIVE score
Venue: Lord's
Date: Tuesday 25 June, 2019
Start: 10:30am BST
One of the biggest rivalries in cricket will be reignited at Lord's today when England meet Australia in the group stage of the Cricket World Cup.
With an Ashes series to come next month, and the possibility of a knockout stage meeting during this tournament, the game is likely to mark the start of a summer-long battle.
However, England's surprise defeat against Sri Lanka on Friday has given the game added importance, with the host nation far from assured of a semi-final berth.
Australia, meanwhile, are sitting pretty on five wins out of six, and are unrecognisable from the side that were whitewashed 5-0 in a bilateral series here 12 months ago.
