Josh Hazlewood’s hopes of taking part in the 2025/26 Ashes series are in jeopardy after he suffered another setback in his recovery.

“Josh Hazlewood complained of pain this week during his rehabilitation from a recent hamstring injury,” a Cricket Australia statement said.

“It is a low-level issue and hopefully he will start running and bowling next week.”

“England with the new ball: It’s just a thing that when you rock at the Gabba, rock in Australia, you are not affected by the bounce,” Nasser Hussain said. Sky Sports Cricket’s Ashes Daily Podcast,

“The same attack that was so brilliant in the first innings in Perth – without the number [Mark] Wood – Just ran and said ‘bite me’. I have never seen so many upper cuts and ramps in the first 15 overs of the new ball. It was incredible.

“There’s nothing in between with this England team. They’re either really bad or they show a bit of character and try to fight back at the end of the day.

“Australia are scoring six runs per over, England are bowling short and wide, which is affecting all parts.

“Brydon Carse had a particularly tough day. But I thought neither of them were particularly good; [Jofra] Archer was the pick, and when you moved away from Archer there was a drop [Gus] In the Atkinson combination.”

It was good, it was bad, and then it was terrible.

England It may only lag behind 44, but it feels like it has more. The second day at the Gabba was a chaotic one due to irregular bowling and poor catching.

“It’s third-rate standard,” former Australian great Mark Waugh said on Fox Sports’ England’s bowling demonstration. “Look at this pitch map. It’s everywhere.”

Stuart Broad on Channel Seven said, “I just saw Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie.” “I told him England bowled more bad balls today than you have in your entire career.”

Joe Root is emphasized England‘S ash Despite several missed catches, the campaign is firmly on track Australia Five extra lives and a significant lead in the first innings at the Gabba.

“We’re not perfect, we’re all human and we’ll make mistakes. But that’s how we respond,” Root said.

“It’s about making sure we come in with the right mindset, the right attitude and know that our best game of cricket is enough to do very special things here. The wheels could have come off and at other times, maybe on the tour where I was captain, they could have done that.

“But we know our best cricket and when we perform well it becomes very difficult to play against us. I don’t think we are out of it in a big way.”

“I would have done things completely differently,” Vaughan told BBC Sport. “What I saw today was a completely tired team.

“These fielding drills – they’re brilliant, but you know the ball is coming to you. In a game, you don’t know when it’s coming to you and it’s completely different.

“The art of taking a chance is concentration. If you’re not out there regularly, and that chance comes, you have to concentrate to take that opportunity. The only way to be good at it is to train the brain to do that.”

Joe Root said, “We have to show positivity tomorrow and we know that our best cricket can change the game very quickly.”

“If we play our best this match can go in our favor very quickly.

“Then our talent with the bat can go out and express themselves in the right way to score a big score and leave them batting last on a difficult surface.”
