Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.30am BST (09.30 GMT)
Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's coverage of the third Ashes Test
The series is perfectly set-up 1-1 and both teams have everything to play for as the action moves to Old Trafford
Very soon we will have news on the teams and the toss.
This is Anand Vasu, and I'll be your commentator for the game
The first news coming in is the England team: Trescothick, Strauss, Vaughan, Bell, Pietersen, Flintoff, Geraint Jones, Giles, Hoggard, Harmison and Simon Jones
That is an unchanged team from the one that won the second Test by two runs
Australia have had their share of injury worries
Glenn McGrath was forced to pull out of the last Test, and since then Lee has been in hospital with knee problems
But it seems that both of them have been passed fit
It still remains to be seen whether Australia will take a chance with McGrath and Lee, or turn to Shaun Tait or Stuart Clark, who was drafted into the squad at the last moment
And the good news for Australian supporters is that Glenn McGrath is fit, and will play.
This means that Michael Kasprowicz misses out
And the important bit of news - England have won the toss and chosen to bat first
That's the news for the moment, we'll keep you updated as and when more comes in
The Australian team, just to remind you, is: Langer, Hayden, Ponting, Martyn, Clarke, Katich, Gilchrist, Warne, Lee, Gillespie, McGrath
There's just about 10 minutes for the start of play
Right, it's that time of the day. Play is about to get under way and we're good to go!
The players have come onto the field, Glenn McGrath charging in and testing his ankle out
It will be McGrath to begin proceedings
He's just chatting with Ricky Ponting about the kind of field he wants
Trescothick will take first strike
Billy Bowden and Steve Bucknor are the umpires for this game
And here we go!
