The 2019 Ashes is fast approaching, with England unlikely to need extra motivation to win back the urn after defeat Down Under in 2017.

Joe Root's side were dominated from start to finish during the five-match series, losing four matches including two by an innings and one by 10 wickets.

But England have been far more successful on home soil, winning the last four to take place in England, and will be looking to make it five in a row this summer.
