The second day of the fifth and final Test of the Ashes 2025-26 has so far been a mixed day for England. Starting the day at 211 for 3, with Joe Root (72 not out) and Harry Brook (78 not out) at the crease, the visitors were only able to add 173 more runs before losing the remaining seven wickets. Harry Brook (84) was the first batter to be dismissed on the day after losing his wicket to Scott Boland. Skipper Ben Stokes was dismissed for an 11-ball duck, before Joe Root, along with Jamie Smith (46) and Will Jacks (27), added crucial runs for the English side and took his individual total to 160, marking only his second Test ton on Australian soil. However, England tailenders were only able to add two runs as Australia bundled the visitors out for 384. Michael Neser, with four wickets, was Australia’s best bowler in the innings, followed by Boland and Mitchell Starc with two wickets each.
