Both sets of players need the result for very different reasons and with the pressure building, this is sure to be a thrilling contest, one well worth staying up late for.

If the locals can deliver it would drive them closer to the monumental Test series win fans have waited so long for and would go some way to help to heal old wounds; it would allow everyone at Cricket Australia to look to the future with confidence.
