The second Ashes Test between England and Australia will take place at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on June 28. However, Australia won the first Test and currently lead the five-match series 1-0 as well. England elected to bat first and used their ‘Bazball’ method as Joe Root scored a brilliant ton to help his side post a decent first-innings total of 393/8 before declaring. Australia, in reply, scored 386, courtesy of a fine century from Usman Khawaja. Australia then bowled well and bundled England over for 273. While chasing 281 to win, Australia found themselves three down on Day 4 as well.
Khawaja managed 65 before getting out, leaving the Aussies in a struggling state. However, skipper Pat Cummins steadied the ship and added together a steady partnership for the ninth wicket with Nathan Lyon and sealed the deal with two wickets in hand as well. However, despite the loss, England have said that they will continue playing with their aggressive approach. Now it will be interesting to see how they manage to bounce back in the second Test or if Australia will seal the deal again.
England vs Australia 2nd Test will be live telecasted on Star Sports Network. Live Stream will be available on the Sony LIV app as well.
