On BT Sport so I personally will be listening to the radio instead.
Predictions:-
Aus will probably win 3-1 but there is plenty of weaknesses in the Aus lineup. If you can get Warner and Smith out cheaply, they don't really have much else. But they have home conditions going for them and a more balanced bowling attack (if they can stay healthy) which looks more likely to take 20 wickets than England's bowlers.
Most runs:-
Warner (A), Roooooooot (E)
Most Wickets
Starc (A), Woakes (E)
