And so, to Brisbane. The Gabba.
The gladiatorial stadium stands between England and parity in the Ashes series.
The Gabba is not a happy hunting ground for England - they have not won in Brisbane since 1986 - and it will take all of their resolve, stubbornness and togetherness in order to change that record.
There is also the added challenge of the pink ball and how much Australia quick Mitchell Starc - player of the match for his 10 wickets in the first Test - loves bowling with it.
Starc will be coming into this Test full of confidence. As if he needed it, given his returns using the bright pink projectile. He is the best pink-ball bowler in the world.
