Australia are favorites to win
Australia and England go head-to-head in the second men’s Ashes test of the 2021-22 series in Adelaide. The home side got off to the best possible start by taking a wicket with the first ball of the series before eventually beating England by 9 wickets. This test match is a day-night test and will be played with a pink ball under floodlights. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 14:30 local time.
Australia were not the best in the first test but still secured a nine wicket victory. They have a 100% record in day night tests and will be very confident ahead of this match.
England will have been encouraged by the innings from Dawid Milan and Joe Root. However, the whole team must contribute with the bat if they are to get anything out of this Test.
Channel 7 will show the series live in Australia with BT Sport having the rights for the UK. SonyLiv in India, Supersport in South Africa and Willow TV in the USA will also broadcast the series.
Live Streaming: Sony Liv, BT Sport, Kayo
Joe Root was ridiculed by many for winning the toss and choosing to back first in Brisbane. In spite of this we expect both captains to choose to bat first at the Adelaide Oval.
The pitch already looks like a good batting wicket but negotiating the first 20 overs with the pink ball will be very difficult for the batters..
Sunny conditions around during the afternoon and clear skies in the evening throughout this test in Adelaide.

After a comprehensive win in Brisbane, Pat Cummins would’ve been hoping to field the same team in this match. However, Josh Hazlewood is already ruled out through injury and David Warner faces a laite fitness test. Jhye Richardson is expected to replace Hazelwood in the XI.
Australia have won only two of their last five Tests and did look a little rusty at times during the Brisbane Test.
David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jhye Richardson
Batsmen:Joe Root (vc), Travis Head, David Warner, Rory Burns
All Rounder:Ben Stokes, Marnus Labuschagne
Wicket Keeper:Jos Buttler
Bowler:Pat Cummins (c), Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, Mitchell Starc
Once again England find themselves 1-0 down ahead of the second test In Adelaide. This is the fifth time in six tests this century that Australia have been in the lead in the series at this point. We expect England to make changes in the bowling department with Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad returning..
England’s poor form in Test matches continues. Since winning the opening Test of the tour of India earlier this year, they have won only one of the subsequent ten Tests.
Rory Burns, Haseeb Hameed, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes, Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad, James Anderson
Australia have increased their overall lead against England and have double the number of wins at the Adelaide Oval than their opponent.

The bookies are predicting another Australia win.
Travis Head was a surprise top run-scorer in the opening Test but we expect the likes of Steve Smith and Joe Root to produce some big scores in this Test.
Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and David Warner are our picks with the bat for Australia. Marnus Labuschagne and Warner both hit impressive half-centuries in Adelaide.
For England, we recommend Joe Root, Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes with the bat. Root is still searching for his first Test century in Australia but looked in good form in the second innings.
Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Jhye Richardson are our picks with the ball. Cummins took a 5-wicket haul in England’s first innings in Brisbane.
Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson are our bowling recommendations for England. Anderson and Broad will both be fresh and raring to go after missing the Test at the Gabba.
The pink ball should give England’s bowlers an excellent opportunity to cause Australia’s batters plenty of problems in Adelaide. However, England’s bowling was not the issue in Brisbane and their batters must all produce better performances. Overall, we are predicting another day-night Test win for Australia.
