Lance Morris returned to Western Australia after a 20-month injury absence and took 3 for 29 off 10 overs against England. Morris reached speeds of 145 km/h and dismissed openers Tom Banton and Joe Root. England scored 251 and beat WA by 92 runs.

Adil Rashid took 4 for 35 and Jofra Archer took 3 for 34 for England. Josh Tongue suffered a toe injury and left the tour. Brendon McCullum said Morris bowled at good pace and was rewarded. Beau Casson said WA will be patient with Morris's return.

England's first ODI against Australia is on November 13 in Perth. Five T20Is between Australia and England begin on November 21.

CricHubb Take

Morris's ability to hit 145 km/h after such a long layoff suggests Western Australia may have a genuine express bowler available for the upcoming Australia-England white-ball series.
