England makes one change for the day-night match and announces their starting lineup for the second Ashes Test in Brisbane.

England made one change to their lineup from the Perth Test when they revealed their starting lineup for the second Ashes Test at the Gabba in Brisbane. After playing in the Multan Test against Pakistan in December 2022, off-spinning all-rounder Will Jacks has earned a recall to the Test team after nearly three years. Jacks replaced Mark Wood in the playing XI, who will be managed through the series. The veteran pacer had returned to the Test side after a long time, and England aim to keep him fit for the remainder of the series.

Jacks, who has played just a couple of Test matches, was the second spinner in the squad and after the Perth debacle, the visitors seemed to have lengthened their batting a bit, while adding a slow bowling option. England will still have a four-man pace attack, including skipper Ben Stokes, who registered his second fifer as captain last week, while all three of Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer were retained in the side.

I am genuinely excited about it. A few months ago, I wouldn't have anticipated being on an Ashes tour in the first place. However, being here and with this team has been incredible. To be in the XI is a dream come true, to play an Ashes series away from home," Jacks told the ECB media team, reacting to Test recall, mentioning that he was informed of the same by Brendon McCullum after the training session on Monday.

England has strengthened their batting with one fewer pace-bowling option because it is a day-nighter and the pink ball typically swings in the twilight. But England will need pacers who can move the ball with the pink ball, so their strategy may be correct. However, does it help them? Only time will tell and England desperately need to storm back into the series and level it at the Gabba, having conceded one in Perth due to Mitchell Starc and Travis Head's stupendous show.
