England, Australia prepare for fourth Ashes Test

LINDSEY PARNABY / AFP

The fourth Ashes Test between Australia and England gets underway later on Wednesday at Manchester.

The five-match series is tied 1-1 after Ben Stokes masterminded a sensational one-wicket win for the hosts at Leeds.

However, the Aussies will be buoyed by the return of star batsman Steve Smith who missed the last match after being hit by fast bowler Jofra Archer on the head while England have brought in Craig Overton to replace Chris Woakes.

Play from Old Trafford gets underway at 2:00 pm UAE time.
