How to watch Australia vs England in the third Ashes test. It’s the traditional Boxing Day test match Down Under and it’s live on television and online.
Australia vs England in The Ashes. The source of more English misery than a fire at a PG Tips factory. So far, this series in Australia has been no different.
The England cricket team finds itself in familiar territory heading into the traditional Boxing Day test match. They’re 2-0 down in the five match series after two meek defeats at the hands of a rampant Australian side.
The third test offers Joe Root’s men a chance for redemption at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. If a comeback is going to happen, it’ll have to be here. Here’s how you can watch (probably peeking through your fingers, but watch nonetheless).
