The Ashes are finally here and, as Australia and England prepare to face off in the first Test at Perth Stadium, we’ve taken a look at what history can tell us about how this clash might play out.

If you fancy a flutter during the series, then look no further as we've teamed up with Betfair to give you all the stats you need to know for each day of this epic five-Test series.

A new build, Perth Stadium first hosted a Test match in 2018 – and all five to date have been won by the team who won the toss.

On every single occasion, the successful caller chose to bat first, although England’s preference for chasing could mean this is no formality, despite what history tells us about this decision.

If you’re interested in scores, the average first-innings total at Perth Stadium is 395, while the average second-innings total is 221.
