Show Preview

The final day of the first Ashes Test dawns with Australia needing 174 runs and England seven wickets for a crucial victory and 1-0 lead in the series. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 8pm (AEST).

Resuming at 3/107 after a promising start to their run chase was derailed by the loss of David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in quick succession, Australia’s hopes once again rest on the shoulders of Usman Khawaja.

The opener is unbeaten on 34 with nightwatchman Scott Boland for company and a strong middle order still to come, but it is the first-innings centurion who will be the prized scalp for Stuart Broad, James Anderson and co.

Who will win… and who will head to Lord’s needing to find a way back into the series?
