AUS vs ENG – 2nd Test Scoreboard

TOSS – England

England wins the toss and opts to bat against Australia.

Preview

Australia will look to ride on its winning momentum as it faces England in the second Test in the Ashes at The Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday.

The host has won 12 out of the 13 pink ball Tests it has hosted, with its sole loss coming against West Indies at the Gabba in January 2024. Day-night Tests use a pink ball instead of the usual red one because it is easier to see under the lights.

Batting can be hard during the twilight and evening sessions when the pink ball tends to swing the most, but Australia skipper Steve Smith said Brisbane’s relatively hard wicket, compared to the spongier surface at Adelaide Oval, the usual venue for day-night Tests, could offer something for batters.

“At times (the ball) can get a little bit soft and you can see guys batting comfortably, I suppose, at stages,” Smith said.

“That’s one thing we have to weigh up going into this game and see how it plays out.”

Australia leads the five-Test series 1-0 following its win in two days in Perth.”
