PERTH - Australia and England are set to meet in the first men's one-day international of a three-match series at Perth Stadium, according to live coverage published by The Guardian. The report describes the match as the opener of the series.
The Guardian listed the play start time as 11.30am AWST, which it gave as 2.30pm AEDT and 3.30am BST. Those times are the only scheduling details in the summary available for this report.
The Guardian said Australia might have hoped to focus on bouncing back from their "Test series defeat in South Africa" with a change of pace in three one-day internationals. The summary does not say how Australia planned to make that change or which players would take part.
The live coverage is credited to two reporters. The Guardian lists Martin Pegan for the opening updates and Tanya Aldred for later updates, according to the byline on the summary.
The summary also invites readers to send comments by email and opens with a welcome to the coverage. It does not include a score, a result or a description of play, so this report cannot say how the contest stood when the summary was written.
Readers who want the match result will need to consult the live report itself, which the summary does not reproduce. The Guardian's coverage is the only source for this report, and the details above are limited to what that summary states.
