MELBOURNE : Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to field in the third Ashes test on a green-tinged Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch on Sunday.

The MCG wicket had just over a centimetre of grass, promising something early for the seam bowlers on a cool, overcast morning."It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to bowl them out this morning but, yeah, we think we're well suited to bowl up front here," he added."Opportunity to put runs on the board early," he said.The match will start at 11:00 am local time after a half-hour delay due to rain.

Victoria paceman Scott Boland makes his test debut for Australia after replacing the injured Jhye Richardson in the attack. Opener Zak Crawley, batsman Jonny Bairstow, paceman Mark Wood and spinner Jack Leach have been selected for the must-win match.
