England enter a new era in ODI cricket in the opening one-dayer against Australia with Eoin Morgan as their new captain. Back Morgan to lead from the front at 5/1 to be England's top runscorer in the match.
Morgan has struggled in recent ODI series but in his only match in Sri Lanka as captain, he produced his best innings for many months - a 62 in Colombo - and it continued his trend of much-improved returns as skipper. Morgan averages 71.16 as captain in ODIs, against a career return of 36.51.
Morgan has also had time to acclimatise with a stint in the Big Bash. You can't keep such a talent player down for long and the captaincy can bring the best out of Morgan. Back him a 5/1 for the first ODI to be England's top batsman.
