The Ashes 2023: When is the fourth test? Preview, dates and start time

The Ashes 2023: When is the fourth test? Preview, dates and start timeDAZN

It has been over a week since England's thrilling win at Headingley and now they must repeat this performance once more at Old Trafford in the fourth test of this year's Ashes series. 

With Australia leading 2-1, England needs to win if they want to keep their hopes of regaining the urn alive before travelling to the Oval. 

However, while Australia might be disheartned by the previous loss, Old Trafford is a ground England struggle to win at with their last Ashes win coming in 1981 during the heyday of Sir Ian Botham. 

If England are to emerge victorious, they will not only need to produce another exceptional performance, but also write their own bit of history in the process.
