- England need to respond in Adelaide.

## Summary

Australia beat England by seven wickets in the first one-day international in Perth, bowling them out for 131 before reaching 132 with 26.3 overs to spare. The emphatic result came amid renewed discussion of Australia’s past ball-tampering scandal, and leaves England needing a response as they prepare for next year’s World Cup.

On his ODI debut, 21-year-old Mahli Beardman took 6-24, including the wickets of Harry Brook and Joe Root, while England’s Gus Atkinson top-scored with 29 not out. Mitchell Marsh made a 29-ball fifty in Australia’s chase. England have now been bowled out 15 times in 29 ODIs since Brendon McCullum became coach; the second match is in Adelaide on Sunday.
