This may not be an Ashes year, but you know neither side is going to be taking it easy over the course of the eight white ball games that start in Southampton with the first of a trio of T20I games. Follow our guide below for where to watch England vs Australia 1st T20I live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

England vs Australia 1st T20I live stream: TV schedule, date

Plenty has happened in the white ball form of the games since these nations met in a memorable Ashes last year. England have capitulated, with two miserable World Cup campaigns that have culminated in the sacking of coach Matthew Mott. Ahead of Brendon 'Bazball' McCullum's appointment in January, the selectors have rung the changes for this series — three T20I debutants will appear at the Utilita Bowl today, with Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell and Jamie Overton all coming in.

It's been a different story for their old enemy, with the Aussies sealing an incredible ICC Cricket World Cup win in India at the end of last year. David Warner may have retired, but there's still plenty of experienced heads in the squad. None more so than Travis, who smashed 80 off 25 for the tourists against Scotland last week. The batting unit as a whole was in intimidating form north of the border, which they'll be seeking to replicate on the south coast today.

Line ups:

England XI: Phil Salt (capt. / w.k.), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley

Australia XI: Travis Head, Matthew Short, Mitchell Marsh (capt.), Josh Inglis (w.k.), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
