England, meanwhile, face a monumental challenge that will require grit, clarity of thought, and a touch of magic. With the big guns back in the hut, the responsibility now rests heavily on the shoulders of the lower order, led by the unbeaten Jamie Smith and Will Jacks. Smith, in particular, has not had the best of Ashes so far, but England know what he is capable of, having seen him produce some extraordinary knocks in the past, most notably that unbeaten 184 against India at Edgbaston. To keep the Ashes alive, England need something of similar substance and courage, a performance built on belief, bravery, and defiance, on a final day that promises drama from the very first ball.
