England vs Australia, 4th Test  dream11 news and team

       

Jofra Archer vs Steve Smith

Smith didn’t bat in the second innings of the second Test nor did he play the third Ashes game as a result of a suspected concussion that he had suffered in the first innings. But the three innings that he batted before that was enough to put Smith back on the top of rankings in ICC’s Test batting charts. Smith, 30, started his Test return – from a year ban – in the fourth position but three innings, which had two centuries and a 90 plus score, put Smith back at the top exactly where he had stopped in Cape Town in 2017.

Jofra Archer is the new guy in town. His surging bouncer knocked Smith out of the game at Lord’s. Again it was his six-wicket haul at Headingley that helped England clean Australia within a day before their own batsman out beat the visitors with a shambolic performance – England’s lowest Ashes score since 1948. He will be key to England’s plan of taking an Ashes lead and captain Joe Root will once again want Archer bowling to Smith. Ready for more bouncers eh.

Ben Stokes vs Nathan Lyon

Of the five innings Stokes had played before his demolition innings at Headingley, Nathan Lyon had dismissed him twice. Stokes was out to pacers the other two times and remained not out once. He was also on two runs from 66 deliveries at the start of his second innings at Leeds with Lyon not giving the left-hander room to express himself. But alongside Jonny Bairstow, Stokes first hit Lyon for a couple of boundaries before tearing into him when England had one wicket left.

Lyon finished with 2/116 in the third Test. But that game aside, Australia’s third-highest Test wicket-taker had enjoyed playing England. He has 14 wickets from three games in Ashes 2019 and with Old Trafford and Oval predicted more suitable to spinners, Lyon will be among Australia’s biggest asset in the final two Test matches.

Joe Root vs Mitchell Starc

Root has so far endured a below-par Ashes 2019. He has two half-centuries but also two ducks in six innings. England skipper Root will, however, be confident after his 77 runs contribution in the second innings of the Headingley Test, which England won. With his captaincy on the line, Root not just scored a half-century but also shared a hundred-run partnership with Joe Denly.

Starc, unlike Root, will be playing his first Ashes game at Old Trafford. While injury ruled him out of the first game, Starc was left out of the next two matches. He enjoyed a stellar campaign with the ball in CWC 2019, where he was the highest wicket-taker and equalled Glenn McGrath’s 12-year-old record, and will be eager to show the same with the red ball in his hand.

 Weather Report

A pleasant weather has been forecast for this fourth Ashes test. Although a few showers are expected on the third and fifth day, there should still be plenty of time for a result. Temperatures are likely to remain around 14-16 degrees Celsius throughout the match.

ENG Team News

England have named a 13-man squad for this upcoming fourth Ashes test match. Somerset pace bowler Craig Overton has been picked in the team, replacing James Anderson who has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament. The veteran seamer has not yet recovered from the calf injury he had sustained during the first test. The hosts are coming off a win and we expect them to retain the same group of eleven from last time. All-rounder Sam Curran may have to look at the proceedings from the sidelines once again. Jason Roy and Joe Denly will swap positions in the batting order with the latter set to open alongside Rory Burns.

AUS Team News

Australia will welcome their star batsman Steven Smith back into the side after having missed the third test due to the neck injury he had picked up while batting in the second test. Travis Head might be the one to make way for him in the line-up. The visitors may look to freshen up their pace attack and so they could consider bringing in left-armer Mitchell Starc. If he gets picked, there is a good chance that Mitchell Marsh may also be drafted into the playing eleven.

                                        Pitch Condition

The Old Trafford generally offers very good conditions for batting, especially during the first couple of days of a test match. The amount of assistance for the seam bowlers will depend on how much grass has been left on the pitch. Spinners are likely to come into play from day four onwards.

                                          Toss Prediction

The pitch is expected to be the best to bat on at the start of the match and scores tend to drop at this ground as the game progresses. And also since the surface is likely to take plenty of turn on the last two days, the toss-winning captain will probably opt to bat first.

head to head

Austrelia won

England won

Teams:

Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Tim Paine(w/c), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

AUS Key Players

Steven Smith: Despite having been forced out of the third match due to injury, Steve Smith continues to remain at the top of the runs charts with 378 runs in just three innings. The former captain has cracked a couple of hundreds and a fifty already in the series. The world no. 2 test batsman will be raring to go out in the middle and score big again.

Pat Cummins: The fast bowler is one of the danger men with the ball in this Australian bowling unit and he will be backed by his skipper to provide the early breakthroughs with the new ball. The world's top-ranked test bowler is leading the Ashes 2019 wickets charts with 17 wickets.

Nathan Lyon: The off-spinner has been amongst the wickets in the series - 14 wickets which includes a fifer that he claimed in the first test at Birmingham. Lyon could not cause much problems for the English batsmen last time out but he is likely to play a huge role at the Old Trafford, especially in the latter-half of the match.

England (Playing XI): Rory Burns, Joe Denly, Joe Root(c), Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow(w), Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Craig Overton, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach

ENG Key Players

Rory Burns: He is one of the leading run-getters of the Ashes 2019 having scored 242 runs at an average of 40.33. The left-handed opener has hit a century and a half-century in the series. Burns failed to make much impact in the last match and he will look to make amends at Manchester.

Ben Stokes: He is an absolute key figure in England's line-up regardless of the format. The ace all-rounder has scored the most runs for the team this Ashes - 327 runs at an amazing average of 81.75 - in addition to picking up eight wickets. Stokes played a gem of a knock last time and the hosts will want him to continue his excellent form.

Jofra Archer: He has been in a menacing form lately and is definitely the biggest threat in this English bowling attack. The pacer has notched up 13 wickets in just two games. He claimed eight scalps in the previous test, six of which were picked in the first innings itself.
