After a two-day, 32-wicket mayhem in the first Ashes 2025-26 Test in Perth that saw the hosts Australia walking away with an emphatic eight-run win to go 1-0 up in the five-match series, England will now try to make a strong comeback in the second Test at The Gabba in Brisbane starting today to keep the series wide open and deny the hosts an early advantage. They got the early assistance from the toss coin which landed in their favour and they opted to bat first.

 

The English side, who have made aggressive red-ball cricket — otherwise known as Bazball — their go-to technique regardless of the wicket and conditions, were under tight scrutiny for giving away easy wickets on the second day of the Perth Test, which is usually a good day to bat. They will be trying to learn from their mistakes and build partnerships to put pressure on the Aussie side.

 

On the other hand, Australia, despite the absence of big names like regular Test skipper Pat Cummins and premium pacer Josh Hazlewood, performed exceptionally well in both innings of the Perth Test. They stumbled with the bat in the first innings but made a strong comeback in the second thanks to brilliant innings from Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne, and will be trying to replicate their performance in Brisbane to go 2-0 up in the series.
