'We have some big decisions to make': Joe Root ahead of the 2nd Ashes Test

After a crushing defeat in the 1st Test, an under-pressure English side look to bounce back in the Ashes series, as the Adelaide Test gets underway on Thursday.

Ahead of the crucial encounter, England skipper Joe Root said that the visiting side has some big decisions to make.

The Adelaide Test will be a pink-ball affair, something which Australia has dominated, especially in their own backyard. But Root looks determined to take that challenge head-on. Root said that you need to put a score on the board no matter what Test it is, regardless of the colour of the ball. 'Our focus will be to take 20 wickets,' added the England skipper.

Australia lead the Ashes series 1-0 and go into the 2nd encounter having won all 8 Day-Night Tests they have played so far.
