MELBOURNE (Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones has restored George Ford to the starting flyhalf role as one of two changes to his run-on team for Saturday's second test against Australia in Melbourne.

Ford had started all of England's matches since Jones took over but was dropped to the bench for last weekend's first test against the Wallabies with Owen Farrell taking the number 10 shirt in Brisbane.
