Wicketkeeper Matt Prior (virus) will play no further part in the tournament, so Steve Davies (right) plays, while Tim Bresnan and Graham Onions come in for Stuart Broad (torn buttock muscle) and Ryan Sidebottom (virus)
Andrew Strauss wins the toss and decides to bat on what looks to be a good wicket, but he may regret his decision after James Hopes takes a great diving catch off Peter Siddle to dismiss the England skipper for 14
Owais Shah lasts just two balls - he flicks Brett Lee down the leg side and is caught behind by Tim Paine to leave England reeling on 16-2 in the third over
Paul Collingwood takes the attack to the Australians, hitting one six and four fours to reach 34, but he falls to Mitchell Johnson when he top-edges the ball to Paine
The defending champions are well and truly on top after Siddle strikes again, with the help of Paine's third catch, to remove Joe Denly for 36 - England are 91-4 in the 18th over
Eoin Morgan, who batted so well in the group stage, becomes Australia's next victim - he makes just nine before edging Shane Watson behind to Paine
Watson, having bowled one-day international debutant Davies for five to reduce England to 101-6, tries to keep the shackles on new batsman Bresnan
Bresnan, who before the match had to issue an apology for using offensive language on Twitter, starts his innings sensibly before unleashing some aggressive strokes to revive England's hopes
Johnson, named Cricketer of the Year at the International Cricket Council's awards ceremony on Thursday, tries in vain to catch Wright and finishes with 1-61 off his 10 overs
In the 35th over Wright takes aim and blasts two sixes. The second one disappears far into a grandstand and is measured at 103m - the biggest of the tournament to date
Bresnan and Wright put on 107 for the seventh wicket but their fighting stand comes to an end when Wright is out for 48, caught by Paine off Siddle
Graeme Swann keeps the runs coming, hitting 18 from 15 balls, but then is slow to turn while attempting a second run and is run out off the first ball of the batting powerplay
Bresnan's brilliant knock comes to an end when he is bowled by Lee for 80 - his highest one-day score at any level - but his innings helps England get their score up to 257 before they are all out
Unbelievably Australia's innings is held up by what appears to be an army of giant flying ants - the players head off to the safety of the pavilion while the ground staff try to get rid of the pesky termites
Ten minutes later and the insects are gone - and shortly afterwards so too is Australia opener Paine when rival wicketkeeper Davies takes the catch off the bowling of Onions
But Shane Watson is full of confidence and capable of playing unorthodox shots to get the scorecard moving along at a good rate, much to the frustration of England's bowlers
Skipper Ricky Ponting is at his very best and posts his 71st one-day international half-century in the 21st over - Australia seem to be coasting to victory
Strauss, complete with bloodied arm, tries to rally his troops but seems short of ideas to break the outstanding partnership - perhaps he could do with the flying ants returning to disrupt the Australians' concentration
Ponting completes his 28th one-day international century with 11 fours and a six in the 37th over
Watson follows his captain's lead in the next over, smashing his third six to bring up his third one-day international century off 115 balls
Watson smashes four more sixes, including three in one Collingwood over, to finish on 134 not while Ponting is 111 not out as Australia complete the victory with 49 balls remaining
