"Important because it might be the last time anyone can say that for the rest of the series. And the next two years. The current Australian lead is 356. But England's highest successful run-chase is 378 against India at Edgbaston in 2022 at the height of Bazball - and as recently as this summer they galloped to 373 against India at Headingley. They know how to do it."
"Should England need inspiration, they need look no further than the Big Bash, where Brisbane Heat have chased down the greatest BBL run chase at the Gabba. Share Just watching Travis Head on the highlights, bristling through his moustache to 142 not out. Carey starts the day unbeaten on 52. Geoff might be enjoying Bazball's demise below.

Brisbane Heat completed the greatest BBL run chase at the Gabba, highlighted by Travis Head's unbeaten 142 and Carey beginning the day on 52. England retain a mathematical chance to win the Ashes despite Australia leading by 356. England's highest successful run-chase is 378 against India at Edgbaston in 2022, and they chased 373 at Headingley this summer, demonstrating capability and muscle memory for large chases. Facing Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon presents a severe obstacle. Observers note Bazball's apparent decline, yet optimism about England's prospects persists.
