Ashes: England Hoping To 'Punch' In The 'Boxing Day' Test Match

By IANS News December 25, 2021 • 12:58 PM View: 1188

England Test captain Joe Root would be hoping that the four changes he has effected in the playing XI on the eve of the Boxing Day Test help his side claw back and make a fresh bid to regain the urn, which looks as good as lost after the humiliation in the first two Ashes games.

The tourists lost the opening Test at The Gabba by nine wickets, which was followed by a 275-run humiliation at the Adelaide Oval. And, going into the traditional Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26, Root's men are staring down the barrel of losing the series within 14 days of play.
