PINK BALL WIZARDS

Stu's twilight zone tips

- 

STUART BROAD says England's hopes of levelling the Ashes are at the mercy of a pink-ball “lottery”.

The defeat inside two days in Perth means the tourists are in desperate need of a positive result in Brisbane next week, where they will be playing a day-night match at the Gabba.

The concept is still a relative novelty at the highest level, with this game just the 25th men's Test under lights in a decade, and it is played most frequently Down Under.
