Fit-again Jamie Smith will keep wicket and bat at No 3 in England's ICC Champions Trophy opener against Australia, live on Sky Sports.
Smith missed the final two T20 internationals and 3-0 one-day international whitewash against India recently with a calf injury but has been named in the XI for Saturday's clash in Lahore.
The 24-year-old has not batted higher than No 5 in his seven previous one-day internationals, while his best score in the format is the 49 he struck against Australia at Headingley in September.
