The first Test of the 2025-26 Ashes series in Perth concluded with Australia winning by eight wickets, leaving England trailing 1-0 in the five-match contest. The defeat extends England's winless streak on Australian soil to 17 Tests and 15 years.
England now face an uphill battle to retain the urn, having lost the first two Tests of the series. The only team to overturn a 2-0 deficit in Ashes history was Don Bradman's 1936-37 side.
The third Test begins on December 16 at the Adelaide Oval, with UK viewers able to watch live on TNT Sports. Coverage starts at 11pm GMT on TNT Sports 1, with the first ball at 11.30pm. Highlights will be available on TNT Sports and BBC iPlayer at 5pm daily.
