Australia cricket team will lock horns with arch-rivals England in the 2nd Ashes Test on December 4 at the Gabba, Brisbane. The game will be a pink-ball affair, set to be played partly under the lights as the hosts will be aiming to take a 2-0 lead in the series. England were handed a 8-wicket thrashing in the series opener in Perth and will be looking to bounce back with a win in Brisbane. However, it won’t be an easy task for Ben Stokes and co., given Australia’s prolific record in pink-ball Tests.
