England's Pink Ball Woes Continue

England faces a persistent challenge in day-night Test matches, having yet to record a single victory. Their history includes notable losses, such as the 120-run defeat in Adelaide in 2017 and subsequent heavy losses during their most recent Ashes tour.

These defeats, occurring in both Adelaide and Hobart, underscore England's difficulty adapting to the pink ball format under lights. The team's performance contrasts sharply with Australia's home advantage.

Australia has established a commanding record in pink-ball Tests at home, securing victories in twelve out of thirteen matches. Their sole defeat came against the West Indies at the Gabba last year, emphasizing their overall dominance in this specialized format.
