In a must-win situation, England's Captain Ben Stokes has urged his team to "show a bit of dog" in the third Ashes Test against Australia. This comes after a series of "raw" conversations following heavy defeats in Perth and Brisbane. The team is under intense media scrutiny and has faced hostile crowds, with only a handful of players having prior experience in Ashes series in Australia. Stokes, known for his competitive spirit, wants to see more fight from his team, citing England's battling third Test win against India at Lord's as an example of the grit he desires. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the situation and showing a "bit of dog" to give the team the best possible chance of success. The team has made one change, with Josh Tongue replacing Gus Atkinson, and Will Jacks retaining his place ahead of Shoaib Bashir. Stokes is confident that the team has responded positively to his demands and is ready to face the challenges ahead in Adelaide.
