England and England Lions will lock horns in their first three-day warm-up match at Peter Burge Oval in Brisbane starting on November 23, Tuesday.
As part of their shadow tour, the England Lions are currently touring Australia for a four-day warm-up match against Australia A. Prior to that, the England Lions will give some practice to the England national side ahead of the much-awaited Ashes in a three-day warm-up game.
This match will also mark the return of England all-rounder Ben Stokes. The warm-up game will provide much-needed practice for Ben Stokes after he missed out on a vast amount of cricket due to personal reasons.

England vs England Lions Prediction
Since it’s a three-day warm-up game, there might not be any winner in the contest as we can expect a draw from both sides. The whole squad is expected to take part in the game and it gives much-needed game time to both parties. However, the England side look pretty strong on paper.
