After morale-boosting win, England will look to carry momentum and level the Ashes 2023 series when they face rivals Australia in the fourth Test at the Old Trafford in Manchester, starting from Wednesday (July 19).

Ben Stokes-led England reduced the series the deficit to 1-2 after they landed their first win of the ongoing series at the Headingley in Leeds against Pat Cummins' Australia, who had won the opening two Test matches at Edgbaston in Birmingham and Lord's in London.

Now, the action shifts to Manchester for the penultimate Test. Australia will hope their edge at the venue will help them seal the series 3-1. England, on the other hand, will look to end their seven-match winless run against Australia at the venue to keep them alive in the 2023 series.

This will be the 30th time the venue will play hosts to the Ashes rivals. England has beaten Australia seven times, while the team from Down Under has got a slightly better record of eight wins with fifteen other matches ending in a draw.

In the most recent meeting between the two sides at Old Trafford in 2019, Australia rode on Steve Smith's first innings double hundred and pacer trio's bowling dominance to seal an 185-run win.
