Episode Details

England is in serious trouble on Day 3 of the 2025 Ashes second Test in Brisbane, and the feeling of a looming "disaster" is real. Australia's lower order, led by Mitchell Starc, piled on the runs to build a massive first-innings lead, capitalising on a sloppy English fielding display (five dropped catches on day two alone!). In their second innings, England's openers started brightly but lost Ben Duckett before the close of play.

Join Jack, Max, and Ross as they dissect all the action from a frustrating day for Ben Stokes' side at The Gabba. The lads cover the dropped catches, Australia's commanding position, Harry Brook's dismissal, and the immense challenge England faces on day four to save the Test match. Can Bazball dig them out of this hole, or is the series heading to 2-0.
