a particularly stormy sydney as it is at the moment, in the final port of this ashes series.here is no prospect of that humiliating 5—0 whitewash but also knowing that they've not been able to force a victory, in large part due to an inability to ta ke large part due to an inability to take 20 wickets, which has brought attention on their spinner, moeen ali. use only managed three wickets in the whole series. there's prospect he may be replaced by mason crane, the leg—spinner with some experience of this part of the world, having played for new south wales in the sheffield shield. whether mason crane plays depends on the pitch and we should get a better look at that tomorrow but england will take part in their performance in melbourne, it was a battle but they have the better of the draw there. i asked mark stoneman, the opening batsmen, whether he felt their momentum had switched towards england... whether he felt their momentum had switched towards england. . ij whether he felt their momentum had switched towards england... i think it is given confidence moving forward , it

series backin the summer and the 2019 ashes series back in england.hey feel that 3—0 is a fair reflection of this series and want to make that four. somewhat ominously this is the australian captain steve smith's home ground and he is desperate to get a big score in this one too. a couple of changes, interesting ones. mitchell starc makes his return for australia, which won't please england and we'll get to what mason crane is made of in an england shirt. we will, mitchell starc is the leading wicket taker in this ashes series, he missed the last test with a bruised heel. there was some talk australia might not risk him, given there is a one—day series against england coming up and a south africa test series, but starc himself said he felt fit and england might fancy facing him, his pace and bounce has caused and also the trouble in the series so far and he will be a threat on a pitch that has a fair bit of grass on it. he is the known quantity. crane, his middle name is syd ney quantity. crane, his middle name is sydney so it is appropriate he plays

it is another ashes test match. the quys is another ashes test match.he guys need no more is another ashes test match. the guys need no more motivation, a great opportunity to try to win the test match and win the series 4—0. ashes series take a long time coming around. england must wait two years to try to reclaim it. four years for another chance over here. the aim for now is to turn the wheeljust a little in their direction. i have given up trying to predict the weather, it is so constantly changeable. what i think we can say is that this will be a better test match than the one in melbourne. that is partly because of the pitch, partly because it is a test in honour of the cancer foundation. looking around this place gives a sense of how special this ground is for both sets of players. they will wa nt for both sets of players. they will want the series to get a big finish and not a slow fade. patrick geary in sydney. colin munro created a bit of history as new zealand beat west indies by 119 runs in the third and final t20 international. munro scored

i suppose particularly after how the ashes went, what would you make of that?s was a very tough series for the england boys but the actual result of 4—0 i don't think reflects how close the series was. there was just the odd key moments were england lost them and they were the sort of differences in the series. the group of players that england have got at the moment, there are a lot of talented cricketers and i think it is quite an exciting squad to be going into. hopefully i can add something whenever i can going into the squad when they get to new zealand. the draw for the australian open was made earlier today in melbourne. we can hear about the prospects are some of the british players any moment but the defending men's champion roger federer was at the door and he saw himself pitted against the former british number two. the world number one raffaella nadal and last year's runner—up, he started against burgos. the only british male in melbourne faces a tough test against us open finalist kevin anderson of south africa. in the women's draw, the new world n
