AUS v ENG Match Preview:
Australian batting will be wary of David Warner's fitness. If he's unavailable, Usman Khawaja might open with Marcus Harris. Travis Head's form was a big positive for the team, and he would be willing to carry his form in this test.
With Josh Hazlewood ruled out, Jhye Richardson will be replacing him.
England's batting form is a huge concern. Once again it was Joe Root, who tried to take them out of slumps along with Dawid Malan. All eyes will be on openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed to provide a solid start.
James Anderson and Stuart Broad are likely to make a comeback into the playing XI in place of Jack Leach and Ollie Robinson, who looked in a bit of discomfort in the 1st test.
