ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) Opening batsman Aaron Finch, one of the few bright spots in the Australian side which has lost the first three one-day internationals to England, won't play in the fourth match due to a hamstring strain.

Cricket Australia said Thursday that Glenn Maxwell would replace Finch, who top-scored with 62 in last Sunday's 16-run loss at Sydney which clinched the five-match series for England.

Finch also scored centuries in the series openers - 107 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and 106 at Brisbane in the second.

The fourth match is Friday in Adelaide.
