Australia will be back in whites to play long-form cricket as they take on Pakistan in the first Test of the home summer. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming every ball of the Test match online, or watching it on TV in Australia.
Scheduled to get underway on Thursday, November 21 and be played at The Gabba in Brisbane, the match will start at 11am (AEDT) – 10am local time on each day of play. Should it run the full distance, play will conclude on Monday, November 26.
Australia’s last Test match commitments were a successful retention of the Ashes in a drawn series away from home. Pakistan, on the other hand, have played only limited-overs cricket since February, making it tough to get a read on their form line.
There are two ways to watch this match in Australia, with both Fox Sports and Channel 7 holding the rights to Test matches played at home.
Fox Sports will begin their coverage at 10am (AEDT) on Fox Cricket, found at Channel 501 through Foxtel, and their coverage will be ad-break free during live play.
If you want to watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you’ll need to be holding a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package of channels.
