Over in Australia, the newspapers are beginning to react to Usman Khawaja being omitted from the home squad for Thursday's second Ashes Test in Brisbane. With Khawaja ruled out, batter Josh Inglis and all-rounder Beau Webster are set to battle it out for a place in the XI, with Travis Head at the top of the order after he scored a century as a stand-in opener last time out.
