ENG vs AUS: Australia will lock horns against England in The Ashes, 2023 on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at Headingley, Leeds.

With two wins under their belt, Australia is presently in the driver’s seat, leading the series 2-0. A victory in this match would secure their hold on the ashes urn for another series.

However, their path to success won’t be smooth sailing as England has been fueled by the recent bizarre controversy surrounding Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal.

Making strategic changes, the Three Lions have revamped their playing 11 by bringing in Moeen Ali, Mark Wood, and Chris Woakes. Meanwhile, Ollie Pope, Josh Tongue, and James Anderson have been left out, indicating a shift in team dynamics.

As for Australia, their lineup is set to remain largely unchanged, apart from one substitution prompted by Nathan Lyon’s calf injury in the second Test. Todd Murphy will be brought in as Lyon’s replacement.

With the series on the line, England will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory. All in all, we can look forward to a captivating five-day Test match at Headingley.
