Australia Preview
Australia hold a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five Ashes series, needing just one more win to secure the Urn. Captain Pat Cummins is fit and returns to the XI, joined by spinner Nathan Lyon, who missed the Brisbane Test. Opener Usman Khawaja is also fit and could replace Josh Inglis. With the exception of Josh Hazlewood, Australia is now at full strength.
Key Players: Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett, Nathan Lyon

England Preview
England face a do-or-die third Ashes Test in Adelaide, trailing holders Australia 2-0. Joe Root has excelled with contributions from Zak Crawley and Ben Stokes, though more runs are needed.

Australia vs England Prediction
Despite winning the toss four times, England has failed to win any of their last four Tests. With Australia already two up with three to play and fielding their strongest XI in Adelaide, England now faces a do-or-die situation to secure their first Ashes victory and avoid elimination. Nevertheless, I don’t see them doing anything special to fight for a win in this game. The best they can do is win the toss as usual, but the win is far from their reach.
