The 2025/26 NRMA Insurance men’s Ashes series is up and running, and we will bring you all the major talking points during the five-Test series between Australia and England.
The hosts went into the series as the favourites, and they reinforced their position with victory in the first Test in Perth within just two days, with England's batters under heavy fire after meagre totals of 172 and 164.
The second Test is a day-night contest in Brisbane starting on December 4, and you can watch and stream all the drama as it unfolds live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Pope aims to 'play percentages'
England’s Ollie Pope has admitted he needs to "play the percentages" after being "pretty annoyed" with his dismissals in the first Test.
Pope was England’s leading scorer in Perth with scores of 46 and 33.
But in the first innings he was out lbw and then in the second was dismissed driving on the up, sparking a huge collapse from England.
"It was my first Test match there, and I was pretty clear that I knew that was the risk on that pitch. That’s why I was frustrated in the second dig, to get out like I did," said Pope ahead of the second Test in Brisbane.
"But they’re lessons to take forward, and it might be similar conditions here in terms of driving on the up. I was pretty annoyed with both dismissals in that (Perth) game, if I’m being honest with myself.

"At the same time, I was happy with how I was playing up until the moment I got out. If I can start my innings like that as much as I can while I’m out here, hopefully some big runs will flow.
"I don’t want to just let the bowler bowl at me, but it’s just trying to play the percentages as much as I can.
"Everyone’s really clear on their game plans. And there’s a few lessons there, I guess, individuals would take from last week and put them into practise this week. So, trying to learn the lessons, but then take some positives going forward."
Carse 'excited' for Brisbane clash
Brydon Carse is confident that England's bowlers can recreate the pace they showed in Perth in the second Ashes Test in Brisbane this week.
The tourists ultimately suffered a thumping defeat in the first Test against Australia, but had recorded the highest average speed by an England attack on the opening day.
Despite the expected absence of their fastest bowler, Mark Wood, when asked if England can produce this kind of pace once again, Carse said: "I'd like to think so.
"We take a lot of confidence individually and as a group, and we're really excited for what this week has to offer," he told BBC Sport.
"It's exciting. It's special to be part of a pace attack like that. Going forward into this week and for the remainder of the series, we've certainly got players and bowlers that are exciting and can hopefully change games."

After dismissing Australia for 132 in the first innings, England's bowlers were unable to produce the same speed during the second, with the hosts storming to their target.
England bowled twice in one day during the second innings, leading to some suggestions that their drop in performance was down to a lack of rest, but Carse said there was "no excuse".
"The volume of overs we bowled in that first innings wasn't as it would be in a normal full day," the 30-year-old said.
"There is no excuse there, having to bowl on day two. I'm sure as the series goes on, those rest days will become important. It's something we'll assess, nearer to the time and on the situation of the game."
Wood set to miss second Test in Brisbane
Mark Wood is expected to miss England’s second Ashes Test against Australia in Brisbane due to a left knee problem.
It is a huge blow for the fast bowler, who had only just returned during the first Test in Perth last week following a nine-month absence after surgery on the same knee.
This is the latest quandary facing coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, amid the ongoing fall-out from their chastening first Test defeat.
Wood missed England’s first training session in Brisbane, ahead of an extensive build-up heading into the second Test at the Gabba, which will also take place live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Josh Tongue is viewed as Wood’s most-likely replacement, and he will have some extra match practice under his belt after appearing for England Lions against the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra this weekend.
That would essentially be a like-for-like swap, bolstering a pace attack which Sir Jimmy Anderson previously described as "one-dimensional."

Stokes accepts criticism but says accusations of arrogance go 'too far'
England captain Ben Stokes insists he is willing to shoulder criticism after his side's bruising start to the Ashes, but believes suggestions of arrogance have crossed a line.
England have faced fierce scrutiny following their collapse in the first Test in Perth, where they squandered a dominant position and slipped to defeat inside two days. Their decision not to send any of the starting XI to face the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra only intensified the backlash.
Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson branded England "arrogant" and "cocky Poms", warning they were flirting with "serious embarrassment".

Stokes, however, pushed back against that charge.
"You can call us rubbish, call us whatever you want. We didn't have the Test match that we wanted to," he told BBC Sport. "'Arrogant' might be a little bit too far, but that's OK. We'll take the rough with the smooth. I'd rather words like 'rubbish', but 'arrogant', I'm not so sure about that."
England have now begun a five-day training block in Brisbane ahead of the second Test, though their Saturday morning session at Allan Border Field was cut short by rain.
Meanwhile, three squad members who did not feature in Perth - Jacob Bethell, Josh Tongue and Matthew Potts - have joined the Lions group for their two-day pink-ball match in Canberra as preparations intensify for the challenge ahead.
Cummins to miss second Test in Brisbane
Australia captain Pat Cummins will be absent again for the second Test in Brisbane, which begins on Thursday.
The fast bowler is continuing his recovery from a back injury and will not be fit in time to feature as his side look to extend their Ashes lead.
Cummins, who has not played since July, was ruled out of the first Test in Perth, but there was hope he would be back in action in time for the next Test.

The 32-year-old bowled in the nets in Perth and Sydney but has reportedly yet to complete the required programme to make a return.
Australia have named an unchanged squad for the second Test, with fast bowler Josh Hazlewood also still injured.
The hope will be that Mitchell Starc, who took 10 wickets in Perth, continues his excellent form, backed up by Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett and Nathan Lyon.
Cummins will now have close to three weeks to step up his recovery for the third Ashes Test in Adelaide, which begins on December 17.
Head reveals fear behind dazzling Ashes onslaught
Travis Head has admitted that his breathtaking match-winning assault in the first Ashes Test at Perth was fuelled not only by instinct and aggression, but also by a very real fear of the consequences.
The Australian left-hander smashed a remarkable 123 from 83 balls as a stand-in opener, propelling his side to an eight-wicket victory inside two days - yet even as he flayed England’s pacemen, he was bracing for what might come back at him.
Head's innings, featuring 16 fours and four sixes, brought up a 69-ball century - the second-fastest in Ashes history behind Adam Gilchrist’s iconic 57-ball effort at the WACA in 2006/07.
It completely flipped the narrative of a contest in which England's high-velocity pace attack had earlier routed Australia for 132.

"I'm very realistic that they had two blokes bowling 150 clicks," Head told Australian radio station Triple M, referring to Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who were playing a Test together for the first time since 2020.
He recalled one moment in particular: "I accidentally hit Jofra back over his head for six at one point and calmly walked back and marked centre and was like, 'Oh my God, why did I just do that?'"
Marnus Labuschagne shared the disbelief, sprinting down the pitch to marvel at the shot.
"Marnus came down and was like, 'I know you're trying to act cool, but that's unbelievable'," Head added. "And he's yelling and screaming, and he's hoo-hah-ing. And I'm like, 'Mate, get back to the other end, at any moment they can put a hole through me, they bowl 150 clicks'."
Head also revealed that Gilchrist had sent him a congratulatory message after his blistering knock. His reply was characteristically dry: "How the hell did you do it quicker?"
Marsh in line for shock recall
Mitch Marsh could be in line for a shock recall to the Australia squad in this Ashes series.
A report from The Sydney Morning Herald claims Marsh could come into contention ahead of what they describe as the "pointy end" of the series.
The 34-year-old has not featured in a first-class match since he was dropped following the Boxing Day Test against India last year.
However, there are claims he could now be drafted in to help combat the pace and attacking prowess of the likes of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson.
Marsh could also be another useful option in Australia's middle batting order.

England plan extra training sessions in Brisbane Test - report
England have taken steps to rectify their sobering first Ashes Test defeat by scheduling extra training sessions in Brisbane.
A report from the BBC claims that Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum will have one of their longest preparation periods heading into a Test match.
England were originally set for three days of training at the Gabba from Monday, but have now pencilled in an extra session on Sunday, as well as further practice time at Allan Border Field on Saturday.
England's desire for more training time has seemingly influenced their decision not to send players from the first Test team to play in the England Lions match in Canberra this weekend.

Keep the faith in Khawaja - Clarke
Michael Clarke has urged Australian selectors to stand by Usman Khawaja and allow him to open the batting for the second Test.
Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head opened the batting alongside Jake Weatherald in the first Test, with Khawaja suffering from back spasms.
There have been growing calls for Khawaja to relinquish his place at the top of the Australian order, but not from Clarke.
"I still like Head at No. 5 to be honest," he told Code Sports.
"I cannot see the selectors making a change for the second Test. I think they will keep the faith with Uzzie. He has been at the top of the order for a while.
"I think Khawaja stays at the top of the order, and I do not think the Aussies are making any changes. They will stick with the same XI, assuming Cummins and Hazlewood are still not fit."

ICC verdict 'justifies' Perth Stadium pitch
England's capitulation in the first Test cannot be blamed on the pitch, after an ICC report officially rated it as "very good."
The surface had come under plenty of scrutiny after what was the quickest Ashes win in 137 years.
However, the ICC had given the pitch its highest rating, meaning England seemingly have nobody else to blame for their downfall.
Cricket Australia's chief of cricket James Allsopp told cricket.com.au: "The match referee's 'very good' rating justifies our belief Perth Stadium produced a pitch that provided a fair balance between bat and ball."

Hazlewood likely to return later in series
Australia coach Andrew McDonald has batted away rumours which suggested Josh Hazlewood may miss the entirety of the Ashes - though he will sit out the second Test.
McDonald said, via 7 News: "He's working through the first week of his rehab.
"I'm not sure that we need to give an update on that. Once he gets further down the track and [we] have some rough timelines, then we'll be in a position to communicate that.
"I know that he'll be available at some point during the series. We've got a little bit of that early rehab to go through to formulate where he may plug into the series, but we expect him to take some part in the series."

Cummins in contention for return at Gabba
Australia captain Pat Cummins could return for the second Test in Brisbane, with coach Andrew McDonald confirming his recovery is "nearing completion".
Cummins has been out of action for four months, but was in Perth during the first Test to step up his return to training.
"Once we see him again, we'll be able to then join the dots as to what that potentially looks like," McDonald said, via ESPN cricinfo.
"But for those who saw him in Perth, I did say this a while back that he'll be up and bowling... and people will be sitting there questioning why he's not playing.
"It looked like a player that was nearing the completion of his rehabilitation. The intensity was there, the ball speed was there.

"There's a lot of positives, but now it's just really building that resilience within the soft tissue and making sure that we're not putting him in harm's way in terms of accelerating it too much.
"But it will be a genuine discussion leading into this Test match. That may be one that eventuates late for us. A little bit to work through, but it's nearing completion, which is really, really positive."
England opt against fielding senior players in pink-ball warm-up
England have opted not to send any of the first-choice batters from their eight-wicket thrashing in Perth to a pink-ball tour match against a Prime Minister’s XI.
Instead, England pace bowlers Josh Tongue, Matthew Potts, and batter Jacob Bethell - none of whom featured in the first Test - will leave the Ashes squad to join the Lions.
England have played against the Prime Minister’s XI in previous Ashes tours, but the first-team were not scheduled to travel to Canberra this year due to the prospect of a tight turnaround if the Perth Test had gone the distance.

Anderson: England pace attack 'left marks' on Australia, but got exposed
Sir Jimmy Anderson believes England's bowlers left "marks" on Australia after roughing them up in the first innings of the first Ashes Test in Perth - but wonders if the second innings showed that the tourists' pace attack can also be "one-dimensional".
Anderson, a veteran of England tours Down Under, saluted England's first effort with the ball, but suggested their approach was "exposed" in Australia's second innings.
"I think they bowled brilliantly in that first innings," Anderson, speaking on TNT Sports' The Edge, said of England's pacers.
"England have built up to this series with pace, they want to hit Australia with pace, and it worked perfectly in that first innings.
"I thought they left a lot of marks on Australia. They started to find cracks in that batting order.
"A lot of their batters were taking blows on the body, Cam Green got hit in the helmet, so things like that will leave marks on Australia.

Anderson: England pace attack left marks on Australia - but it got exposed as one-dimensional

"I think it got exposed a little bit in the second innings, when Head started getting going.
"And there's nowhere to go from that pace, you can't just take a step back and bring a spinner on to just change things up slightly.
"So it is kind of one-dimensional in that respect, but as we saw in the first innings, it did work brilliantly for that particular moment."
Cook calls on England to emulate legendary touring side of the past
Sir Alastair Cook has shared the approach he thinks England should take to get back into the Ashes contest after their dramatic loss in the first Test in Perth.
"I've said all along, it's going to take something very special from one of these players to do it," Cook said of England's comeback chances.
"And it's going to have to be in Brisbane. They cannot go 2-0 down in Australia. The momentum, that crowd [in Perth] almost just pushed them over the line.
"I'm thinking how do the [England] batters go now? I know it sounds really silly, but the 1997 [British & Irish] Lions - they won the first Test match. [They] all got smashed I'm sure, [the remaining players] had a midweek game, and the guys who won that [first] game were holding the tackle bags on Sunday morning.

'That's what I'd do' - Cook outlines plan for England's batters to rebound in Brisbane

"Baz [Brendon] McCullum said whatever this side do, we have to stick together. The hard thing to do is get them on that plane, go and get that top seven some time in the middle.
"It's not the easy thing to do, get the pink-ball practice - yes, you might have to put a couple of good bowlers from our side, or the Lions, to help Cricket Australia [in the pink-ball practice match against a Prime Minister's XI] - but that's how I'd do it, because it did look like they're a little bit short of that match toughness, that match hardness that you only get from competitive cricket."
Wood considered driving from Perth to Brisbane
England bowler Mark Wood has admitted he considered driving from Perth to Brisbane after the first Ashes Test was wrapped up in just two days.
Brendon McCullum's men were beaten by eight wickets on Saturday after Travis Head's inspirational hundred gave Australia a 1-0 lead in the series.
The second Test at the Gabba starts on December 4, and Wood told Stuart Broad on the For the Love of Cricket podcast that he would drive the length of the country but was warded off by a local's advice.
Wood said: "If I could drive across the country, I would. I did speak to a local who said if you go across the country, that’s a big danger. So you’d have to drive around the coast. But I did look at it."

Wood also told Broad of the mood in the dressing room after the defeat at Perth Stadium.
"When you first get back in, it’s not that bit where you start evaluating," he said.
"Shell-shocked is the right word. Some lads choose to sit down, some lads start packing their kit. I sat down for five minutes. It looks like you’re gazing [into space] but you’re just thinking in your head.
"When Ben Stokes gets back [from media duties], we sit in a circle at the end of the dressing room. But there’s nothing I can say that will make it sound better. If I say we’re quite level, people aren’t going to be happy with that.
"If I say it’s really emotional then people will say: ‘Why can’t you be level and go on to the next game?’ What I can say is we speak honestly together. Everyone is open.
"I feel we know this is one of five [Tests]. There has to be a reflection of what has gone on but also to know that we did some good things and we take those into the next game. We have been hit hard in round one but we have more rounds to throw some back."

Highlights: Head inspires Australia to first Test win on Day 2

Langer critical but McCullum retains belief in game plan
Brendon McCullum insists that England still believe in their game plan despite falling to an eight-wicket defeat against Australia in the opening Test.
Former Australia head coach and TNT Sports expert Justin Langer criticised a section of England's batting line-up for failing to respect the conditions they were playing under while choosing their shots.
"I know Harry Brook plays an aggressive style, but you must respect the game and the conditions you play in," he said. "A classic Perth dismissal that.
"Then, of course, this was the big one, Joe Root was wide, and his feet were nowhere near the ball.
"The margin for error is so small for batters on these bouncy wickets, he has got to get a lot closer to the ball than that."
However, McCullum says that his side still believe in their game plan, and that they are capable of bouncing back as the series progresses.

He said: "We will work it out, we will let the dust settle on it now, it has all come quite quickly and we are obviously disappointed with the outcome.
"We are still big believers in what we are doing, we have been in this situation before, and we have been able to fight back, so it is all in front of us."
Boycott: Hard to take this England side seriously
Sir Geoffrey Boycott has argued it is "impossible" to take Ben Stokes’ England side seriously after their dramatic collapse in the opening Ashes Test, accusing the team of repeating "the same stupid things."
The former England great delivered a scathing assessment following the side’s eight-wicket defeat to Australia in Perth, a match that astonishingly finished inside two days.
England had looked firmly in control at lunch on day two, reaching 59-1 with a lead of 99 and nine wickets still in hand, before their advantage unravelled. Stokes’ side suffered a dismal collapse, skittled for 164 and leaving Australia a target of just 205 to clinch the series opener.
In his column for the Daily Telegraph, Boycott wrote: "Before this series started Ben Stokes told the world that any ex-player who criticised them or had a different opinion were 'has-beens' because Test cricket had changed and the past was irrelevant.
/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io/2025/11/22/image-ca5b7e35-2267-4437-87cf-79710bfbe7c7-85-2560-1440.jpeg)
Stokes and England left 'shellshocked' after first Test defeat

"Well, from this has-been the message is simple: when you keep throwing away Test matches by doing the same stupid things it is impossible to take you seriously.
"They never learn, because they never listen to anyone outside their own bubble, because they truly believe their own publicity.
"Now it has bitten them in an Ashes Test, the biggest challenge of all and unless they mount a spectacular comeback, they will regret it for a very long time."
How Australian media reacted to England implosion
Australia wasted little time rubbing England's noses in their first-Test collapse, with the nation's media savouring a dominant start to the Ashes in Perth.
England had appeared in complete control at lunch on day 2, only for their innings to implode as nine wickets tumbled in a single afternoon session. Set 205 to win, Australia cruised to the target in emphatic fashion, powered by Travis Head’s blistering 123 from 83 balls to seal an eight-wicket victory.
The Australian press revelled in the moment. The West Australian outlets, who had spent much of the build-up prodding at England, were quickest and loudest in celebration.
The Sunday Times splashed with the headline: "Travball murders Bazball", while also branding the tourists "Pathetic Poms". Its back page was no less gleeful for England head coach Brendon McCullum, reducing England’s defeat to a single word: "Pommelled", adding, "Bazball flipped on its head".
Head’s innings dominated coverage nationwide, featuring prominently on the front and back pages of the Sunday Telegraph, which hailed his performance as an "opening masterclass".
In The Age, Daniel Brettig turned his scrutiny on England’s batting approach, contrasting it sharply with the discipline shown by their bowlers on day 1. He described the tourists as "like lemmings into the trap".
That criticism was echoed by Louis Cameron on cricket.com.au, who wrote: "England went from Bazball-brilliant to boiled lollies in under 24 hours as Head’s barnstorming 69-ball ton, the second fastest in Ashes history behind Adam Gilchrist’s 57-ball effort over the Swan River at the WACA Ground almost two decades ago, fired the hosts to an eight-wicket win inside two days."
