Their top order looks settled, with Ben Duckett’s twin half-centuries indicating their stability. With Ollie Pope out, Harry Brook is expected to be promoted up the order.

Australia has been performing at a high level, with skipper Pat Cummins leading the way. After their tight victory at Edgbaston, they showed great resilience in the face of Stokes’ impressive innings and emerged victorious. Although Nathan Lyon is absent for this Test, their strong and well-coordinated fast bowling department has delivered in crucial moments. Todd Murphy will replace Nathan Lyon in the 3rd Test.
