Australia Preview
Australia secured a pleasing win in the opening game despite missing key fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. Mitchell Starc was impressive in the game, taking seven wickets in the first innings and three in the second. Starc, who averages 17.08 with 81 wickets in 14 day-night Tests, will be eager to use the pink ball. Australia boast an impressive record at home with the pink ball, winning 12 of 13 day-night Tests, including all three against England. Prior to this Test, Australia had recorded a 3-0 clean sweep against the West Indies, so the momentum is high in their camp heading to this second Test.

England Preview
England seek to level the 2025-26 Ashes in the second test. Despite leading by 99 with nine wickets in hand in their second innings, England collapsed, setting a meager target easily chased thanks to Travis Head's explosive batting. The tourists, desperate for a response in the day-night test at the Gabba, face an uphill battle, having not won an Ashes test there since 1986 and struggling with pink-ball cricket, losing five of their last seven day-night tests.
