The Ashes squads 2023: Full England v Australia line-ups, 5th Test batting order and latest news
Check out the full England and Australia squads, predicted line-ups and batting orders at The Ashes in 2023.
The Ashes squads are locked in for the fifth Test with England fighting for pride and a draw after Australia retained the Ashes thanks to a downpour at Old Trafford last time out.
England trail Australia 2-1 but despite flashes of brilliance over the last couple of outings, they are unable to claim a series victory.
Jimmy Anderson is the big talking point ahead of the line-up announcement. He has struggled for wickets during this series with just four taken across three Test matches so far, but plenty will want to see him given a final Ashes appearance with the superstar bowler set to turn 41 on Sunday and his career on the verge of an ending.
England's batting line-up usually picks itself, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett to continue their fledgling opening partnership, while Moeen Ali looks set to cling onto the unfamiliar No.3 spot following Ollie Pope's injury.
Australia are likely to keep faith in David Warner at the top of the order for a swansong appearance in England. He has been tormented by Broad in English conditions, and is set to retire from cricket over the course of the next year.
RadioTimes.com brings you a full round-up of the England and Australia squads for The Ashes 2023.
