Australia Vs England 1st Test Day 1, Ashes 2025-26: See Best Photos From Perth's Optus Stadium
The Ashes 2025–26 roars to life today in Perth, where England won the toss and chose to bat in the opening Test at Optus Stadium.

It’s all set for fireworks. Get every moment in pictures from Perth right here.
