England and Australia meet for the fourth time this summer at Old Trafford on Wednesday morning, with the visitors leading the series 2-1. England re-entered the series with a three-wicket victory at Headingley two Sundays ago. England won their first series match at Headingley, following narrow defeats at Edgbaston and Lord’s. The hosts will now believe they have momentum and will be confident going into the second Test. Australia knows that a win in this game will secure the Ashes with one match remaining. However, they finished second in the previous competition.

We anticipate a pitch similar to the one used in Leeds for the previous Test, with some pace but also movement for the quicks and turn for the spinners.
The weather forecast for this Test Match calls for rain on the final four scheduled days. The hottest day and best weather are expected on Wednesday, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees.

With the Ashes still up for grabs, another thrilling Test Match at Old Trafford is expected. If Australia had won the final game, they would have already won the series, but England fought back and now appears to have the upper hand. England’s bowling attack appears to be at its peak ahead of this game, and we expect them to win. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
