England head into the day-night Adelaide Test 1-0 down in the five-match series after losing by 10 wickets at the Gabba.

The Adelaide match, the first-ever Ashes Test under lights, has long been earmarked as England’s best chance of a win in Australia given the extra swing and movement of the pink ball in twilight conditions.
