Australia defeated England by eight wickets in the second day-night Test of the Ashes series on Sunday, taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

This will be a matter of concern for England. Australia had been given a target of only 65 runs to win. In the process, captain Steve Smith had secured the victory by hitting a six off Gus Atkins.

The current defeat was not that bad for England, who lost the first Test in Perth within two days. But in the second Test, Australia completely dominated England, in all aspects of the competition. Now Australia is once again on the verge of winning the Ashes Test series. The remaining three Tests will be held in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Captain Smith described his team's victory as magnificent.

Smith, who got into a fight with English bowler Jofra Archer, said, "Today's team was amazing. The two teams were in a tie at the beginning. But when we got the opportunity to attack with the new ball in artificial light, the game turned in our favor. Playing with the pink ball is difficult and it can change the game suddenly."

Needless to say, the days ahead are set to be very difficult for England. Only Joe Root and Jack Crawley played a bit of a strong innings and Ben Stokes and Will Jack played a bit of a strong innings in the second innings, while the rest of the players' performance was below average. On the Gabba pitch, the English batsmen played bad shots and gave their wickets away cheaply to the Australian bowlers. England's bowling was also not good, they could not take advantage of the new ball in the artificial light.

Australia's bowling was equally dangerous without Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. Not only that, England's fielding was even worse, and the team dropped five catches in Australia's first innings. The Australian players, on the other hand, did not miss any of the 'catches' that came to their hands on the field. The way Stokes was run out by English in the first innings changed the course of the game.
