Jamie Smith will return from injury to keep wicket and bat at number three in England's Champions Trophy opener against Australia in Lahore on Saturday. The 24-year-old missed England's recent humbling 3-0 series loss in India because of a calf injury and had been expected to return to the side but not so high in the batting order.

With Pakistan not guaranteed a game at this venue at all, there was no other game here with greater demand for tickets than England vs Australia, where the winners of the last two ODI World Cups kick off their Champions Trophy campaigns.
