| Scorecard |
Australia defeated England by six runs in the first one-day international.
The hosts were able to win the game with 19 balls to spare.
England made 287-9 in their 50 overs, with Dawid Malan's 134 off 128 balls anchoring the effort.
There are two more games in the series on Saturday and Tuesday.
Three of England's T20 World Cup-winning side - captain Buttler, Phil Salt and Chris Jordan - played, while Moeen Ali, who said having to play this game four days after Sunday's triumph was "horrible"
It presented opportunities for others, with opener Roy returning to the fold after being left of the World Cup squad, but he was dismissed for six by Starc.
David Willey was the one who impressed by dismissing Warner and Marnus Labuschagne in the middle overs, to go with his 34 not out, while left-arm spinner LiamDawson took 1-65.
With the 50-over World Cup in India less than a year away, England will be worried about their top-order struggles.
The stand of 60 between Malan and Willey was the highest in the total.
There was no doubt about it. He was back in the side after Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott decided to rest him for Sunday's T20 World Cup final.
He was patient until he got to his century.
The 35-year-old was strong off his legs and hip, often nudging and flicking into the leg side.
With the likes of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Harry brook, Ben Duckett still to potentially come back into the squad, there is no guarantee that he will be on the plane to the World Cup.
Even without Australia being assisted by the ball skidding onto the bat under the lights at the halfway point, England were still below par.
The opening stand of 147 between Head and Warner gave the hosts a good start and they never looked back.
With a century waiting for both Head and Warner, they were both frustrated with their dismissals.
England had a mixture of inexperience and only had five options to choose from.
Their attack had just 101 One-Day International appearances between them, with only four of them being played in the last two years.
The total they had to defend was not enough after Australia got off to a fast start.
England will not panic despite the fact that many of their key players are likely to return during this series and others are still to return.
To get to the T20 World Cup final and be ruled out was a big blow, so to come here and score a hundred was very satisfying.
It was probably 30 or 40 runs short.
50 overs is my strongest format, but it's difficult to get into the team with how guys have performed the last couple of years. If I keep doing what I'm doing, I could be in that squad.
Pat Cummins spoke about the Test Match Special and said that it was a wonderful century from Dawid Malan.
They were able to get to that score from their position, but we did a good job of bowling. There was a bit of seam movement early on, but it was a good all-round surface.
Despite being disappointed in the T20 World Cup, we are still a very good team and it's nice to get back out there.
