With Australia crowned World Test Champions, the stage is now clear for the Ashes and England's attempts to regain the urn. The teams have assembled in Birmingham ahead of the first Test, with Moeen Ali is back in the Test fold for the first time since 2021. For our Switch Hit preview Alan Gardner was joined in the studio by Matt Roller with Andrew McGlashan dialing in from the second city, to discuss Australia's pace-bowling poser, the return of Moeen and whether Bazball can succeed against such a formidable touring line-up.
