THOUSANDS of sports fans will be starting the weekend early in a mad scramble to grab seats at outdoor screens showing The Ashes.
The fifth and final Test match will be screened at three central locations - Victoria, Southwark and The City.
But as England go head to head with the Aussies, expect a rush as dozens of free deck chairs are snapped up early.
The weather should be fine after today’s rain clears to make way for a warm weekend.
