England v Australia from Headingley
The Leeds wicket has captured more than its fair share of headlines in recent years - in 1972 a freak thunder-storm left the pitch under-prepared and ideal for Derek Underwood; in 1975 protestors struck and ruined the wicket, preventing play on the last day.
Recent evidence points to today's wicket being a very good one and it should provide a fair match as England resume their bid to regain ' The Ashes'.
