Ben Stokes-led England dominated the 4th Test in Manchester but rain had the final say as the match ended in a draw.

Pat Cummins-led Australia have retained the Ashes and lead the series 2-1. But Ben Stokes will be keen on defeating Australia in the final Test and level the series at 2-2.


England have decided to play with the same XI from the Manchester Test where Zak Crawley scored a brilliant century in the first innings and wicketkeeper remained unbeaten on 99. Mark Wood was tremendous with the ball for England, claiming a five-wicket haul.


Australia, on the other hand, are likely to bring back off-spinner Todd Murphy into the playing 11 with doubts over the fitness of Mitchell Marsh (soreness) and pacer Mitchell Starc (shoulder). Entering what is likely to be his final Ashes encounter, James Anderson has not won an Ashes Test since 2015 and the veteran England pacer will look to sign off from Ashes career with a win.
