England stars Alastair Cook and Ravi Bopara are both expected to play for Essex as they take on the tourists in front of a 6,000 full house at the Ford County Ground.

The Australians are always a big draw. They're currently the world's best one-day team, so it will be a tough test for Essex.

Aussie captain Michael Clarke won the toss and decided to bat.
