The fourth Test of the 2019 Ashes series will kick off on Wednesday, September 4 in Manchester, and we can hardly wait.
This tour has been filled with drama and individual brilliance, capped off by an incredible 135no second innings from Ben Stokes to give England the unlikeliest of victories in the third Test.
The situation is simple: Australia needs only one more victory to retain the urn, while England must win the series outright.

For instance, if England win the fourth Test and the fifth is drawn, the Brits will take back the Ashes.
Steve Smith will make his way back into the Australian lineup for this Test, having sat out at Headingley due to concussion.
With Smith back and England in good form, there’s no telling what will go down at Old Trafford.
Ashes 4th Test top batsman odds
Joe Root @ $4 with Sportsbet
In the seven innings Root has seen the crease at Old Trafford, he has made a total of 524 runs. With a high score of 254 and two not-out stints, the English captain has an average of 104.8 in Manchester. If Root can continue along his good recent form, he will be able to score the most runs for England.
Marnus Labuschagne @ $4.50 with Bet365
With Steve Smith back in the squad, the pressure released from the Aussies will be game changing. Labuschagne has carried the Australians with the bat recently, but with Smith back, he will have the chance to form a strong partnership. Smith may not be completely fit to play and suffer from a bombardment of short balls, which is why we think Marnus will be better in this match.

Jofra Archer @ $3.50 with Bet365
It all comes down to form at the end of the day. Archer couldn’t have been more influential in his last match for England, taking eight wickets, including six in the first innings. Archer has very good pace and variety, which makes him very difficult to predict. Unless Stuart Broad goes ballistic early, Archer will get the most wickets for England.
Josh Hazlewood @ $4 with Bet365
Another player that has been in terrific form is Hazlewood. With nine wickets across his last two innings, the big NSW seamer has been extremely potent with the ball in hand. His ability to persist at a line and length for hours is inspiring. His unexpected pace combined with the excellent placement will fool the England batsmen, scoring Hazlewood a handful of wickets.

Australia to win @ $2.80 with Sportsbet
With Steve Smith back into the top order, the Australian squad looks much safer and more potent. The variety of pacemen will leave the selectors with some tough decisions to make, but if Pat Cummins can combine with Mitchell Starc or Josh Hazlewood, the English will be in trouble.
