Probably 2- or 3-1 England, pretty much in the usual way. Anderson and Broad, grey skies, green nibble. Some 5.5 an over stuff, but I think the classicists will do more than the revolutionaries. Smith won’t be Bradman, Marnus might be, and for all the Bazball talk, it will be Root and the two warhorses who get it done. Cummins will be admirable. Both sides will enjoy their golf and talk about it a strange amount. There is something final about all of this. The dying embers of something. I am going to do my best to savour it. So actually, Australia will win. 0-3.
