The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia, 4th Test: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

The fourth Test of the Ashes 2023 between England and Australia will be played at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. The series scoreline reads 2-1 in favor of Australia and the fourth Test begins on July 19.

Australia won the first two Tests and were on the brink of retaining the Ashes before England bounced back to win the third Test to keep the series alive. It was another cracker of a contest at Headingley in Leeds.

Mitchell Marsh, on his Test return, smashed a brilliant ton for Australia. Ben Stokes led from the front to help England get closer to Australia’s first innings total of 263. Australia got bundled out on 224 to set a target of 251 for the hosts. Harry Brook played a solid knock of 75 to help England chase down the total with three wickets in hand. Mitchell Starc picked up a fifer but it wasn’t enough as England roared back to keep alive their hopes of regaining the urn.

We have witnessed an intense battle between both sides in this Ashes series so far. Both sides have had a good nine day break before the fourth Test and will hope to come out all guns blazing at Old Trafford. England will hope to repeat their performance to level the series, while the Aussies will be looking to wrap up the series with a win.
