England win the toss and bowling first against Australia in the T20 World Cup

By The Associated Press

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) — England won the toss and chose to bowl first against Australia in their Twenty20 World Cup match at Kensington Oval on Saturday.

The English are unchanged despite a sloppy start against Scotland in their opener, which was eventually a washout.

Australia made one change after dominating Oman, returning fast bowler Pat Cummins for Nathan Ellis.

The match pits defending champion England against 50-over World Cup champion Australia.
