Joe Root wants "a real big bang" for Trevor Bayliss

The Australian's four-year reign in charge is coming to an end.

Joe Root has called on England to send outgoing head coach Trevor Bayliss on his way "with a real big bang" by drawing the Ashes at The Oval.

This week marks the end of the series, the end of the international summer and the end of Bayliss' four-year reign.

His time in charge is destined to be remembered for a phenomenal improvement in white-ball cricket, capped off by this summer's World Cup win at Lord's, while the Test side has struggled to touch the same heights.

Australia have confirmed at least one change of their own, with Mitch Marsh replacing Travis Head in the middle order. Captain Tim Paine has made it quite clear he is gunning for a 3-1 scoreline and is not happy to settle for less.

"We're very hungry for this, we've already spoken about the fact that we came here to win the Ashes not just retain them," said Paine.

"Last week's result was brilliant and we played very well but all our guys are fully aware this Test is bigger than that one. This is our grand final."
