By Nick Campton

Australia are 1-17 as named on Tuesday – the only change from last week is Isaah Yeo out with Pat Carrigan moving from prop to lock, Lindsay Collins starting and Lindsay Smith coming in on the bench.
England have shuffled the deck and rightly so after last week. AJ Brimson is in at fullback with Jack Welsby dropped, Matty Smith is into the halves with Mikey Lewis going back to the bench, Mike McMeeken moves from the bench to start at prop, as does Jez Litten at hooker.
But wait, there’s more! Kallum Watkins starts at second row with John Bateman dropped and Morgan Smithies and Mikolaj Oledzki are in on the bench.

Good morning to all you night owls out there – the wait is over and we’re gearing up for the second Test between Australia and England with Ashes glory on the line.
After last week’s win at Wembley, the Kangaroos have the chance to wrap up the series at the new Everton Stadium in Liverpool.
Can a desperate England force a decider? Will Reece Walsh continue his remarkable run of form? Will we all make it to fulltime without falling asleep?
Only time will tell! I’m Nick Campton, this is the ABC’s Ashes blog, let’s have some fun out there tonight….today….this morning….you know what I mean.
