England blew it in Brisbane and must get the bowling lineup right in Adelaide | Mark Ramprakash

Fielding an all-seam attack in day-night Test seems the logical conclusion but it’s going to be another tough selection meeting

Adelaide has traditionally been a good surface, the kind a batter might look at and think: “I fancy that.” A good pitch with consistent bounce should provide the right balance between bat and ball, providing a good game of cricket – which is exactly what England need to play if they are going to get back into the series.

I remember going into the day-night Test as batting coach four years ago and there was concern that the twilight period would be difficult, the transition from bright natural sunlight into evening. Batters can be a fragile lot, and there was some worried talk about the ball darting around under floodlights. I’ve no idea what the science says, but sometimes it also feels that as the sun sets and temperatures drop, the pitch speeds up and the ball skids on.
