ENGLAND travel to Brisbane for the second match of their ODI series Down Under.
After defeat in the Ashes, the tourists restored some pride in the first ODI in Melbourne as Jason Roy hit an English record 180 to secure a five wicket win.
What time will it start?
AFTER the series opener at the MCG, England have five days to prepare for this one.
The match will start at 4.20am UK time on Friday, January 19.
Where is it being held?
THE game will take place at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, scene of England’s first defeat in the Test series.
Which channel can I watch it on?
YOU can catch all of the action live on BT Sport 1, with coverage starting at 3.30am

How does the series work?
THIS five-match tournament works exactly the same as the Ashes series – except with 50 over games.
Each match is played in a different city, with the sides picking up a point for each game won.
The series will be won by the side who can win 3 out of 5 of the matches – providing we don’t get any draws.
What is the team news?
ENGLAND have a completely separate side to the Test team, with Eoin Morgan leading from the front with his combative and counter-attacking batting style.
Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Jos Buttler, Sam Billings, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and David Willey are all likely to feature.
Ben Stokes is not available to play until the T20 series with New Zealand in February.
The Aussies maintain their fearsome bowling attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, but have opted for the experience of Cameron White after Chris Lynn pulled out through injury.
