The Ashes arrived at Old Trafford on Wednesday, with the first day starting with a bang as under fire David Warner creamed Stuart Broad's first ball for four to start the morning session. The first partnership will not last long, with Usman Khawaja going for three wickets to propel Broad into 599 Test wickets, but he wasted no time in getting himself over the line to record yet another milestone. Travis Head was the 600th victim for England's long-serving fast bowler, as well as Warner, Steve Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne, who all pitched in but failed to post a big score.

SHUBI ARUN: All attention is now on Old Trafford. The Ashes are heading to Manchester, with the Ashes comfortably positioned at 2-1 in Australia's favour.

The weather forecast is far from promising, leading to rumors that Ben Stokes will have something special planned and that his team will win by rain in their fourth Test.

With a dramatic 43-run victory over England at Lords on Sunday, Australia leapt 2-0 in the Ashes.

McGrath, the Australian cricketer who represented his country for 14 years, believes that the stakes are high with the whole series's fate possibly on the line.

STUART BROAD: We came so close to winning a 1-0 Ashes lead in Birmingham, but Lord's trails Australia. So what do we need to do differently this week? And the threat has risen even more. People might wonder if it is possible given the way this England team plays, but the outfield is fast, so we'll reach more boundaries and hope the pitch is accurate so we can bat through the line a bit when we bowl and have excuses for slip fielders. The changing room was tense to begin with at the end of that enthralling first Test, and that's how it should be when you've lost.
