England is in serious trouble on Day 3 of the 2025 Ashes second Test in Brisbane, and the feeling of a looming "disaster" is real. Australia's lower order, led by Mitchell Starc, piled on the runs to build a massive first-innings lead, capitalising on a sloppy English fielding display (five dropped catches on day two alone!). In their second innings, England's openers started brightly but lost Ben Duckett before the close of play. Join Jack, Max, and Ross as they dissect all the action from a frustrating day for Ben Stokes' side at The Gabba. The lads cover the dropped catches, Australia's commanding position, Harry Brook's dismissal, and the immense challenge England faces on day four to save the Test match. Can Bazball dig them out of this hole, or is the series heading to 2-0.

Joe Root has finally got the monkey of his back with an irrepressible hundred at the Gabba, his first in Australia and his 40th overall. It was the centrepiece of a compelling first day in Brisbane which England looked like squandering at several points, but was saved by Root's dedication and skill and an unexpected unbroken last wicket stand between him and Jofra Archer. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann are joined by Matt Prior to reflect on a day when Mitchell Starc became the world's leading left arm wicket taker. #ashes #england #australia #root Learn more about your ad choices.

England recover from early trouble to reach 9/325 on Day 1 of the Gabba day-night Test, driven by a superb unbeaten century from Joe Root (135*) and a relentless spell from Mitchell Starc (6/71). Australia's selection calls (no Lyon, Cummins rested) and a dramatic final-hour stall become key storylines, while standout fielding moments and some self-inflicted English dismissals shape a seesawing day. The consensus: honours even, on a pitch that promises runs for those who bat well over the next two days. Selection shock & conditions at the Gabba — Australia's XI explained; Lyon left out, Cummins rested; pitch read and game plan. (2:18) Starc's opening burst & England's recovery — Two early blows, then Root–Crawley rebuild.

The Ashes Daily 2025, 2nd Test, Brisbane Day 0: Is that Pat Cummins' walk-on music? Is he running into the ring? It had a wrestling feel to it at the Gabba as Steve Smith hasn't at all ruled out Australia's skipper making a shock return to the Brisbane XI from outside of the original squad. But what about Josh Inglis? Or the opening position? Or Beau Webster? These decisions are all to come. As for England, they've also changed things up with the inclusion of utility Will Jacks. Once the preview chat is done (helped by a Crash Craddock cameo), Adam and Bharat move on to discussing the distressing news overnight that Robin Smith has passed away at age 62.

Krieket: Joe Root van Engeland glo 'n reeks soos die As, gegewe sy gewildheid, hoef nie 'n pienkbal-toets in te sluit soos die een wat van Donderdag af op die Gabba gespeel word nie. Hy het in elk van Engeland se sewe vorige dag-aand-toetse gespeel, waarvan hulle slegs twee gewen en vyf verloor het. Australië het 13 van hul 14 dag-aand-toetse gewen. Root sê dit sal moeilik wees om met die pienk bal te speel teen Australië se aanval in die toestande in Brisbane:
Usman Khawaja has unloaded on the Perth pitch. How justified is the spicy criticism and how much is reputation management? The opener is racing to be fit, but the conversation has centred on whether Travis Head should open. The South Australian believes batting orders are overrated and Pat Cummins agrees. Steve Smith is trialling NFL style ‘eye black' will it make a difference?

What turns a routine delivery into folklore? How does one wide ball at the Gabba trigger a generation of English PTSD? And why do the strangest, funniest and most chaotic moments always seem to find their way into this rivalry? In Part Two of our deep dive into Ashes mythology, Clancy & Errol once again sits down with Peter Lalor to revisit a fresh batch of chaos from the vault. From Harmison’s first-ball moonshot that nearly killed second slip, to Stuart MacGill’s 12-wicket fever dream, to Colin Cowdrey waddling out of a Boeing 707 to save England with nothing but a borrowed bat and enormous optimism. Also examined are some of the more questionable cultural artefacts of Ashes lore, including David “Bumble” Lloyd’s broken cock yarn and Michael Slater belting 176 while Alan Mullally put the dog up Narromine's favourite son. It’s another lap through the moments that prove the Ashes is less a cricket series and more a centuries-old soap opera with better screenwriting. This mini-series is brought to you by BWS.
