England and Australia will face off in the fourth Test of the Ashes 2023 series at Old Trafford in Manchester from Wednesday.
Australia leads the five-match series 2-1 and a win in the fourth Test will hand the reigning world Test champion its first Ashes series win in England since 2001. Meanwhile, England is looking to become only the second team in Ashes history to win the series from a 0-2 deficit and the first since 1936-37.
The host has already announced its playing XI for Manchester, with James Anderson returning to the side and Ollie Robinson going out. Australia captain Pat Cummins has also confirmed the inclusion of Josh Hazlewood and Cameron Green for the fourth Test.
