The Ashes will head to Perth for the third Test of the series with Australia having a chance to put the series beyond all doubt against a desperate England team. The match is scheduled to begin on Thursday, December 14 at 1:30pm (AEDT).
Should the match run for the full five days, it will end on Monday, December 18.
While the original plan was to play this Test at the new Perth Stadium, it isn’t completed yet. In saying that, it will be ready for action early next year and so this is likely to be the final Ashes Test at the WACA (matches against nations other than England, India and South Africa will continue to be played at the WACA).
Australia bring a 2-0 lead into the match, having won the first two Tests of the series. They haven’t been dominant, but are winning on the scoreboard by substantial margins and England will need a huge turn around in fortunes if they are to get back into it.
