The opening Test of the five-match series between England and Australia begins at the Gabba in Brisbane tomorrow. The hosts are bidding to stop England completing their best Ashes run in 123 years. Michael Clarke's team went down 3-0 just three months ago in England, leaving them in danger of losing four Ashes series in a row a fate they have not suffered since 1890. Australia must win the five-Test series to regain the Ashes, while England will keep the tiny urn if it ends in a draw.
