AUS vs ENG 4th Test Boxing Day Match: When & Where to Watch Live

Australia and England will face each other in the 4th Test of the Ashes series 2025/26-the Boxing Day Test as part of the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground tradition. Played one day after Christmas, the Boxing Day Test is among the most waited matches in the cricket calendar.

Australia comes into this match with absolute confidence after winning the first three Tests while having already retained the Ashes with the lead of 3-0. But, with that, pride and momentum are at stake with two matches yet to be played in the series.

Australia in Control After Dominant Start

The Australian team has continued to dominate throughout the series. Solid batting displays, disciplined bowling, and sharp fielding have always kept England under pressure in all three Tests.

Pat Cummins will be rested for this fourth Test due to management of his workload coming back from injury for the last Test. It's a massive boost that Steve Smith comes back into the playing XI after missing the last third Test and will now take the captaincy for this match.

England will however be desperate to avoid a whitewash and restore at least some confidence going into the final Test.
