Marnus Labushagne is hungry to take on England paceman Mark Wood again.
Wood has taken the number one ranked test batsman's scalp three times in as many matches, something no other bowler has achieved.
Labuschange has been tinkering with his technique to try and outwit the England quick. While it's not a complete overhaul, it's enough to have the Queenslander champing at the bit for another crack at the Englishman.
So far this summer, Wood's pace and angle have troubled some of the Australian's, which has prompted the world number one to knuckle down.
Speaking to the Unplayable podcast, he revealed that a small but noticeable adjustment in his stance was key to countering Wood.

"You're trying to work out ways to negate their best ball, you're trying to work out ways to score runs, you're trying to work out ways to get the upper hand," Labushagne said.
"That's what I did in that second innings (in Sydney), just trying to get myself in a position to change what line and what length Mark [was] bowling.
"That's what the change of trigger and trying to get a little bit further across (was for). I won't delve too much more of it now."
Despite being the series leading run-scorer with 286 runs at 47.66, Labuschange is hungry for more. He seems to enjoy the challenge of facing Wood.
"Joe Root was signalling to Mark Wood on the field (saying) 'Mate, you're bowling next end' and Woody wasn't watching," he said on Unplayable.

"I said 'Woody, you're on mate' and he had a bit of a giggle because Joe Root was signalling to him and he wasn't watching."
It's clear that Labuschagne enjoys the duel, going on to speak highly of Wood.
"He's a great character. We've had some really good chats around the hotel and I love the battle. If he's playing tomorrow, it's going to be really exciting to see that battle again."
Despite his unbridled enthusiasm, it's clear Labuschagne is keen to keep his cards close to his chest, for now anyway.
"Certainly after the Test, we can talk more about why I'm doing it but it's certainly to negate that that angle that he has coming from so wide of the crease."
With the historic first Day-Night test getting underway on Friday, Ashes fans won't have to wait long to watch them in action. The final Test is expected to draw a bumper crowd, with plenty of players looking to cement their places for the future.
