The fifth and final Test of the Ashes takes place in Sydney as Australia look to bounce back from a surprise defeat in Melbourne over Christmas and sign off with a win.
All eyes will be on Usman Khawaja with the 39-year-old batter announcing on Friday morning this Test, his 88th, would be his last before retiring from international cricket.
Australia's first defeat to England in a men's Test on home soil in almost 15 years came as 36 wickets fell across two days in Melbourne. The Australia crowd will be in full party mode though in Sydney having comfortable wrapped up the series following the third Test.
