England make one change for third Ashes Test as Harry Brook vows to rein it in'

"The one in Brisbane, I've tried to hit for six so that's what I mean when I say that I need to rein it in a little bit. I can almost just take that and hit it for one and get down the other end. I'll be the first person to stand up and say that they were bad shots."

"England lost both matches by eight wickets and will relinquish all hopes of regaining the Ashes if they are unable to win the third Test, which begins at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday. Right-arm quick Tongue has taken 31 wickets in six Tests at an average of 30 and took five wickets in his only previous Test against Australia at Lord's in 2023."

England made one change to the Test XI for the third Ashes Test, replacing Gus Atkinson with Josh Tongue. Atkinson failed to take a wicket in the Perth opener, scored 37 in a later innings, and returned figures of 3-151 in Brisbane. England lost both Tests by eight wickets and must win in Adelaide to preserve any chance of regaining the Ashes. Tongue has 31 wickets in six Tests at an average of 30 and previously took five wickets against Australia at Lord's in 2023. Selectors retained the same batting personnel despite poor form. Harry Brook admitted two dismissals were poor shots and said he will temper his aggression slightly, while coach Brendon McCullum maintained that the aggressive batting approach will not change. Australia can clinch the series and retain the Ashes in Adelaide.
