Australia and England are set to face each other in the 2nd Ashes Test from December 4 at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane. The match will be played with the pink ball, meaning a significant portion of the Test will take place under lights.
Australia will look to extend their lead after dominating the opening Test in Perth with an 8-wicket win. England, meanwhile, will be desperate to level the series, though the challenge will be immense given Australia’s formidable pink-ball record.
