England have heeded the calls of Simon Katich, Michael Vaughan and many other pundits, fittest batting order by promoting Jonny Bairstow to No.6. The tourists have named an unchanged XI for the third Ashes Test, starting on Thursday in Perth. But trailing 2-0 in the series, England will try something different at the WACA.

The ongoing Ashes Test series between Australia and England has not turned out to be a positive one for the Three Lions so far. Apart from going 2-0 down in five-match Test series, the visitors have grabbed headlines for reasons other than cricket. Just when it looked the headbutt incident involving England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow will be forgotten, another English youngster came into the limelight for his off-field antiques.

The 23-year old Ben Duckett, who has been traveling with the England squad, was suspended by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for pouring his drink over fellow teammate James Anderson at a bar. Former England captain Alastair Cook, when asked about the incident, said the England players cannot afford to make any more “mistakes” after Ben Stokes incident

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