The next six weeks will see a clash between an England team who have won 11 out of 13 Tests and the newly crowned Test world champions but it runs deeper than that.The tension squeezes tighter as the captains emerge, both in their pristine blazers - Ben Stokes in blue and Pat Cummins in green.

Joe Root knows a thing or two about Ashes plans after three series captaining England against Australia. Predicting what will happen is more difficult than ever, even if the Test Match Special team have given it a good go.Mike Atherton's team steamrollered Australia for 118 on the opening day of the 1997 series at Edgbaston, but then lost 3-2. T20 and other short formats are here to stay, a cash cow to be milked by players, administrators and broadcasters alike. Even questioning Stokes is tantamount to heresy. It is decisions like these that have helped England to 11 wins in their previous 13 Tests. He got it right in Mount Maunganui and against Pakistan in Rawalpindi before that.
