After a short delay, this most fascinating of Ashes series heads to Old Trafford, a venue where England's impressive recent record is offset by the fact Australia was last beaten in a Test match there 42 years ago.

Every single ball of the Ashes will be broadcast on ABC Radio in partnership with BBC Test Match Special.There is a dedicated red cricket button on the ABC Listen App and ABC Sport website which will broadcast every ball, live, uninterrupted and commercial free.Those of you in regional areas will hear live coverage on your regular analogue radio outside of the ABC's football commitments.

But the call to leave Murphy out is the biggest, as Australia pushes for a victory that will wrap up their first Ashes series win in England since 2001. In Leeds, Marsh scored a run-a-ball 118 while Green was temporarily sidelined by a minor hamstring strain. "We are really excited by Todd, think he's fantastic. Would have loved to use him a bit more last week, think conditions just favoured pace bowling."It's all conditions-based. We are really excited by Todd, we love having him around, he's got a big future."

"When he started his career with Australia he was basically the frontline spinner in ODI cricket, bowled 10 overs quite a bit, and I think he's got better and better," Cummins said.
