The tourists suffered a crushing defeat in the first Test, though on the opening day in Perth returned the highest collective average speed recorded by an England attack.

England are set to be without their fastest bowler Mark Wood for Thursday's second Test, a day-nighter.

Asked whether England can recreate the pace of the Perth first innings, Carse told BBC Sport: "I'd like to think so. We take a lot of confidence individually and as a group, and we're really excited for what this week has to offer.

"It's exciting. It's special to be part of a pace attack like that. Going forward into this week and for the remainder of the series, we've certainly got players and bowlers that are exciting and can hopefully change games."

England dismissed Australia for 132 in the first innings, but struggled to back up their collective pace in the second as the hosts raced to their victory target of 205 in 28.2 overs.

One factor was the lack of rest given to the bowlers. England bowled twice on the second day after being dismissed in 34.4 overs in their second innings.
