Australia lost another toss and will field first after England chose to bat in the fourth one-day international at Lord's on Saturday night.

All-rounder James Hopes was left out of the XI to make way for returning captain Ricky Ponting.

In-form Victorian Cameron White retained his place in the side after his match-winning century on Wednesday night.

England made three changes to the side which was beaten at the Rose Bowl, recalling Stuart Broad and Joe Denly - who both return from injury - and promising leg-spinner Adil Rashid.

Off-spinner Graeme Swann was dumped while senior duo Paul Collingwood and James Anderson have been rested.

Australia, leading three-nil, will win the best-of-seven series should it win this game.

It is the fourth time from as many matches Australia has lost the toss.

Australia: Shane Watson, Tim Paine, Ricky Ponting (c), Cameron White, Michael Clarke, Callum Ferguson, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken

England: Andrew Strauss (c), Joe Denly, Ravi Bopara, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Eoin Morgan, Luke Wright, Stuart Broad, Adil Rashid, Tim Bresnan, Ryan Sidebottom
