Superstar batter completed his second century of the 2025-26 Ashes series on Monday ‘Important to create positive memories’: Root England’s most prolific batter Joe Root concedes it’s possible his heroic century at the SCG will come in his final Ashes appearance on Australian soil. It must be noted, though, that while the next Ashes Test in Australia is scheduled for the summer of 2029-30, Root may return down under sooner, given the two teams are set to meet in the 150th Anniversary Test at the MCG in March 2027. Root’s Monday was spent batting in his customary No.4 position, helping…

Australia v England | Fifth Ashes Test | Day Two Joe Root has defended Jamie Smith’s dismissal to Marnus Labuschagne’s part-time seamers with England’s greatest ever run scorer insisting it was part of a tactical ploy that anticipated difficult batting conditions against a forthcoming second new ball.

Australia captain Steve Smith brought on Labuschagne and Travis Head in a bid to improve his side’s poor over-rate (Labuschagne ran back to…
