They also discuss whether England’s bowling attack is actually better suited to pink-ball cricket and if the conditions could help spark a response.

Nick Hoult and Daniel Cherny offer insight from both camps as the team debate England’s stubbornness, the changes they must consider, and whether Travis Head should open again after his impressive showing in Perth.

With Australia looking strong and England searching for answers, the big question remains: can England bounce back?

With sharp analysis, strong opinions and plenty of laughs, Ashes Extra provides the essential build-up to a crucial Test for England.
