Australia unchanged for Adelaide Test

Adelaide - Australia captain Steve Smith on Friday confirmed they would field an unchanged XI for the second Ashes Test against England starting on Saturday.

The only concern for the Australians was the fitness of their three stellar fast bowlers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, but after successfully completing Thursday's practice session without a worry the trio will line up together again at the Adelaide Oval.

Teams:

Australia

David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith (captain), Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine (wicketkeeper), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon

England

Alastair Cook, Mark Stoneman, James Vince, Joe Root (captain), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Jake Ball, Craig Overton
