Speaking ahead of the opening Test, Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith said, "The first three days are sold out, which is outstanding. There's going to be plenty of viewers on TV, both here and back in England as well, so hopefully we can put on a good show and entertain plenty of people."
Meanwhile, England captain Ben Stokes said, "We've obviously come here with a goal, and that goal is to get on that plane in mid-January, returning to England, being Ashes winners. But we know it's going to be very, very tough."
