Get ready for an Ashes showdown! The 2025-26 series comes to a thrilling conclusion in Sydney, and we've got all the live updates, scores, and highlights right here.
England's Last Stand? With Australia already holding a commanding 3-1 lead, this final Test is a must-win for England if they want to avoid a series whitewash. But here's where it gets controversial...
Team Selections: England captain Ben Stokes has opted to bat first, and there's a surprise inclusion in the form of spinner Shoaib Bashir, who has been given another chance to prove himself. Meanwhile, Matthew Potts replaces the injured Gus Atkinson, a crucial move to strengthen the pace attack.
For Australia, it's a bittersweet moment as Usman Khawaja bids farewell to international cricket. Khawaja, a veteran of 88 Tests, is playing his final match at the SCG, a ground where he's scored four of his 16 Test centuries. A true legend of the game, Khawaja's retirement adds an emotional layer to this already intense contest.
Key Battles: Keep an eye on the battle between England's top order and Australia's pace attack. Can England's batters, including Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, withstand the pressure and post a competitive total? And this is the part most people miss... the impact of the spinners. With Bashir and Australia's Beau Webster in the mix, spin could play a crucial role, especially if the pitch offers any assistance.
