Morgan urges England to remain best against Australia

England one-day cricket skipper Eoin Morgan has urged his side to be close to their best, if they want to win in five one-day internationals against Australia, which is starting in Southampton on Thursday.

Morgan agreed that the match is going to be very tough, adding that his side needs to find a way to put Australia under pressure, the Guardian reports.

Morgan further said their aim would be to play each ball in a positive way.

Meanwhile, Australian captain Steve Smith said that his boys are ready for the challenge, and added that the absence of middle-order batsman Joe Root would definitely going to affect England's prospects in the one-day series.
