Joe Root leads an England team smarting from a 4-0 pounding dealt to them on their tour Down Under in 2017-18. Tim Paine leads an usettled Australian team as Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft re-unite in white colours for the first-time since the infamous Cape Town sandpaper scandal had them banned for a year.
Root will be looking to exact revenge on home soil - where Australia hasn't won an Ashes series since 2001.
The five Test series will be played over seven weeks, with the first Test starting on Thursday August 1 and the fifth Test starting on Thursday September 12.
