Summary
  • Australia take on England in the 2nd Ashes Test from Thursday, December 04 onwards

  • Will Jacks has replaced injured Mark Wood in England's playing XI for 2nd Test

  • Australia are leading the series 1-0 after beating England by 8 wickets in the 1st Test

It’s second Ashes Test time, from 4-8 December 2025 at The Gabba, Brisbane, and the stakes are already high, with Australia leading the series 1-0 after a brutal demolition of England in Perth. The switch to a day-night format under pink ball lights adds a fresh twist: conditions, rhythm and nerves will all be tested under a different pressure cooker.

The memory of the first Test still stings for England. They capitulated twice, batsmen collapsed meekly, and pacers failed to seize the platform. That allowed Australia to chase down 205 inside a single session, powered by a breathtaking 69-ball hundred from Travis Head. The result was over in just two days, the fastest Ashes Test on Australian soil in over a century. England’s “Bazball”-style aggression offered little respite; when things went off the rails, there was no recovery.

But Brisbane offers a chance at redemption, for both sides. For Australia, it’s about reasserting dominance under pink-ball lights, where they historically thrive: The Gabba has never seen England win a Test since 1986.

For England, it’s a do-or-die moment. They’ve tweaked the XI, with Will Jacks replacing the injured fast bowler Mark Wood, an obvious shift: more batting depth, maybe a little spin, and a bid for resilience under lights.

Their aggressive brand of cricket is under microscope, and now needs to balance flair with discipline, especially against a ramped-up Australian pace attack and in conditions that favour bowlers.
