England's Joe Root is anticipating a tough third Ashes Test against Australia on Thursday.
The batsman is expecting the opposition to play "no-fear cricket" in a bid to prevent his team from claiming the Ashes.
"We know how important this Test match is: It's the big one," he told Alloutcricket.com.
"We're 2-0 up and if we can get some sort of result out of this game then we retain the Ashes.
"They've got almost nothing to lose now, they might start playing no-fear cricket and we're going to have to work really hard to force a result."
England head into the third Test with a 2-0 advantage.
