Gary Ballance is the next man to go as he is caught at short mid-wicket off the bowling off Mitchell Marsh for 10 off 13 balls. England are in trouble as they are reduced to 49 for two within the first 10 overs. Ballance played well in the previous warm-up match against Pakistan, which probably warranted his selection into the playing XI against Australia.
