After an unbelievable win in the third Test at Leeds, hosts England will look to continue their winning momentum when they take on Australia in the fourth Ashes Test that starts today at Old Trafford in Manchester. 

After getting all out for just 67 runs in the first innings, England were playing catch up game in Leeds but Ben Stokes' marathon knock of 135* and useful support from captain Joe Root, Joe Denly and Jonny Bairstow took England home. In this Test, England will open with Joe Denly and Jason Roy will bat at four. Chris Woakes is also rested for Craig Overton. England will hope that captain Joe Root will convert his starts into a big knock. 

On the other hand, Australia must be gutted after a hearbreaking loss in Leeds but they still have good chance to go ahead in the series and the return of Steve Smith will boost their confidence. Usman Khawaja has been dropped due to poor form while pacer James Pattinson has been rested and either Mitchell Starc or Peter Siddle will replace him in the playing eleven.
