Speedster Mitchell Starc claimed six wickets in the first session of the Gabba Test. England were put in immense trouble, but it was again Joe Root who bailed them out with his maiden Test century in Australia. England finished the day on 325/9.
Joe Root finally broke the 12-year curse to notch up his first-ever Test century in Australia to help England post 325 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Meanwhile, Root is also closing in on Sachin Tendulkar's record for most runs in Test cricket history.
The opening day of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia witnessed the hosts dominating play yet again. Alex Carey was the talk of the town thanks to his brilliant wicketkeeping as he took a blinder of a catch running behind to dismiss Gus Atkinson.
Joe Root registered his maiden Test century in Australia, breaking a 12-year jinx. He reached the milestone in 181 balls in the pink-ball Test at the Gabba. Zak Crawley supported him well in the middle, as the duo stitched a partnership of 117 runs.
Australia's Stand-by captain Steve Smith now holds the record for most catches against England in Test cricket history. He surpassed the legendary Greg Chappell in the elite record list. In the meantime, Zak Crawley and Joe Root did well for the visitors, but they would hope for more.
Sunil Narine was thrown into the captaincy duty once again for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the franchise’s opening game in the 2025-26 ILT20 against the Sharjah Warriorz. Not only did the Knight Riders get off to a winning start, but Narine also got to a huge milestone in T20 cricket.
Mitchell Starc continued to make the ball talk despite England coming up with a much better performance with the bat in the second Ashes Test in Brisbane. Starc struck in the first over again, but half-centuries from Zak Crawley and Joe Root meant that England were fighting fire with fire.
Australia have dropped Nathan Lyon from the second Test against England at the Gabba. Michael Neser replaced him in the playing XI. England, in the meantime, had a poor start to the day, but managed to rebuild with the help of Zak Crawley and Joe Root.
The second Ashes Test kicked off in Brisbane on Thursday, December 4, with a minute's silence and both teams sporting black armbands. England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss again and opted to bat first, while making a change. Australia made a couple of changes to their line-up.
