While expectations are always soaring before any Lord’s Test, they are expected to further skyrocket before an Ashes Test. With such a high-ranking event following a nerve-wracking Test at Edgbaston, it is but obvious for cricket buffs to anticipate another edge-of-the-seat thriller during the course of the next five days.

Therefore, television channels and streaming platforms which are officially broadcasting and live streaming this series respectively are also in line to experience high traction especially after considering a change in the condition of the pitch as compared to the previous contest.
Another element which is likely to entice fans is the fact that England have tinkered with their Playing XI with yet another left-field change. Australia, on the contrary, will confirm their Playing XI at the toss.
Ashes 2023 Live Streaming In India
Since Sony Sports Network is the official Ashes 2023 broadcaster for the Indian audiences, Sony Sports 5 will be televising the second Test match as was the case with the first one.
Additionally, Ashes 2023 live streaming in India will be done by Sony LIV with a paid subscription. Readers must note that both the television channel and streaming application will only have provision for a commentary panel in English.
As far as fans of the home team are concerned, they will be able to watch this match on Sky Sports Channel. Alternatively, BBC will only be televising the highlights of Ashes 2023 in England.
Fans of the visiting team back home will be able to follow these matches on 9Gem (and 9Gem HD) and 9Go – part of Channel Nine’s portfolio.

Talking about OTT platforms in England and Australia, Sky Sports App and 9Now are live streaming this iconic series respectively.
Apart from adjusting to a different time zone, Australian fans will also have to adjust to the absence of live cricket on more popular cricketing networks such as Fox Sports and Channel 7.
