England’s seamers will fancy their chances here with the pink ball, especially under lights. Unique challenges: Traditionally a good batting surface that was helpful for spinners, the dynamics have changed in recent years because of the major redevelopment of the ground that means drop-in pitches are used and the fact Adelaide is now played as a day-night Test. Australia have won five of the last six Adelaide Ashes Tests, including the last two. This was also the scene of England’s most painful away Ashes defeat in recent memory when they somehow lost here in 2006 despite declaring on 551 for six in their first innings.

Unique challenges: Firstly, the hard pitch (made up of Smectite clay) that provides pace and bounce for fast bowlers and majorly brings spinners into the game too. Since England’s last win in Brisbane in November 1986 Australia have won six of the eight Ashes Tests played there – including the last two by 381 runs and 10 wickets respectively. There have also been five draws, most recently in 2010 when Alastair Cook scored a memorable double hundred.
