The toss for the fifth and final one-day international between Australia and England was delayed by rain with the match unlikely to start on time.

The game, in which Australia are seeking a consolation win from, was due to start at 2pm local time (2300AEST) but rain saturated the outfield.

Australia are trailing 3-0 in the series and are set to name several team changes after Shane Watson and Brett Lee flew home with calf injuries on Monday.
