Josh Tongue has been ruled out of England's white-ball tour of Australia due to a toe injury. The fast bowler sat out of England's 92-run warm-up win over Western Australia on Saturday and will return to the UK for further assessment on his left big toe.
Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid made impressive returns in Perth. Archer, rested from the ODI tri-series in Pakistan, took 3-34, while Rashid, overlooked for most of that tour, claimed 4-35 as WA were bowled out for 159.
Ben Duckett top-scored with 59, but Harry Brook's side struggled, losing wickets regularly. Lower-order runs from Will Jacks (34) and Liam Dawson (44no) helped England post 251. In reply, Corey Wasley (41) and Cameron Bancroft (32) offered resistance, but WA fell short.
Jacob Bethell remained sidelined with a knee injury. England's tour begins with the first ODI against Australia on Friday in Perth, followed by five T20Is.
