Reports suggest that George Ford will start England's second Test against Australia in Melbourne, replacing Luther Burrell at fly-half and shifting Owen Farrell to inside centre.

George Ford is reportedly set to be rewarded for his performance off the bench against Australia in Brisbane with a starting XV berth for Saturday's second Test in Melbourne.

The Bath fly-half was an early replacement for Luther Burrell, and helped set up two tries to help Eddie Jones's side to a 39-28 win.

According to The Telegraph, Owen Farrell will shift from fly-half to inside centre to accommodate Ford, while Burrell is expected to be dropped to the bench.

Jones is set to name his side for the second of three contests against the Wallabies on Thursday at 10am BST.
