How to watch Australia vs England: 4th Ashes Test free streams

The Boxing Day Test represents one of the moments of any year’s sporting calendar, but when it’s in the Ashes the intensity only ratchets up. The Australia vs England 4th Test may not have the urn riding on it, but the hosts are desperate to bag a third series whitewash against the Old Enemy this century Down Under.

Australia would love nothing more than to complete a 5-0 whitewash and put the final nail in coffin of Bazball, the ultra-attacking way of playing that has so riled cricket Down Under the past few years. The Aussies’ experience, Travis Head lighting it up as an emergency opener and a superb attack led by Mitchell Starc have been the difference this series and it’s increasingly hard to see any outcome other than another win. Steve Smith will return to the side after his ear complaint and will again captain with Pat Cummins to be rested for the remainder of the series so as not to aggravate his troublesome back, with the destiny of the Ashes already decided. Meanwhile, Jhye Richardson is expected to come in for Nathan Lyon with Brendan Doggett or Michael Neser the other expected selections in an all-out pace attack.
