Ben Stokes fires up England ahead of the must-win third Ashes Test in Adelaide, with the series on the line
England trail 2–0 in the Ashes and are winless in Australia for 17 Tests. Another loss could end their hopes of regaining the urn
For Stokes 'showing dog' means fighting in every situation, understanding the moment, and standing up to the opposition, mentally and physically
After the Gabba defeat, England had honest and intense conversations. Stokes admitted the dressing room was 'no place for weak men.'
Josh Tongue IN, Gus Atkinson OUT. Will Jacks keeps his spot to deepen the batting, while spinner Shoaib Bashir is left out despite spin-friendly conditions
Stokes insists he isn’t protecting his job only the team. With history against them, England must fight, be perfect, and win in Adelaide to stay alive in the Ashes
