Ashes 4th Test preview

England will be looking to level the 2023 Ashes series when they resume battle with Australia in Manchester this week. After limited overs yesterday due to the rain, the hosts need a win today to prevent the Aussies retaining the Ashes, but will the good old English weather let them play?

The hosts won an enthralling 3rd Test at Headingley last time out, giving Ben Stokes' side a vital lifeline in their pursuit of the famous urn. Perhaps spurred on by the perceived injustice of Jonny Bairstow's dismissal at Lord's, England were more ruthless in Leeds, although there's certainly still room for improvement, particularly in the fielding department. In Mark Wood and Chris Woakes, however, Stokes has definitely found his most potent bowling attack – and both will be hoping for another lively pitch on which to attack the Aussies.

Let's not forget that Australia still lead this series 2-1, and a win at Old Trafford would quickly banish all memories of the home win at Headingley.

Despite that defeat, Australian captain Pat Cummins has pointed to the scoreline when asked which side has the momentum, but there are still some decisions to be made. Mitchell Marsh, who was only involved last time out due to Cameron Green's injury, scored a brilliant century and took two wickets. Will that be enough to see him replace David Warner higher up the order? Or will the visitors stick with the formula that's put them in the driving seat with two Test matches left to play?
