The Ashes: Ben Stokes heroics come up short as Australia win Lord's Test to takes control of series with England

A heroic effort from England captain Ben Stokes came up short as Australia won a thrilling Test at Lord’s to take a 2-0 Ashes lead. There appeared to be little chance for England when they started the final day needing 257 to pull off an unlikely win. Ad Stokes took the fight to Australia and made a brilliant 155 to seemingly turn the match in England’s favour, but his departure allowed the tourists to blast out the tail and claim the win.

"Lost One Of My Mates...": Nathan Lyon Blasts Kevin Pietersen Over 'Concussion Comment'

One of the greatest batters of his generation, former England captain Kevin Pietersen has been a big talking point for some of the comments he has made during the Ashes 2023 as a pundit. From criticising the England team's approach during certain phases of the game, to receiving sharp retorts from Australian great Ricky Ponting over certain comments, Pietersen hasn't often found himself making the headlines. Now, the England great probably crossed a line in suggesting that the injured Nathan Lyon only came out to bat on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test to get 'concussed'.

Ian Healy 'Worried' By Some Australian Bowlers Leaking Runs In Second Ashes Test

Legendary Australian cricketer Ian Healy is "worried" about some of his country's top bowlers conceding six-runs-per-over against England in the second Ashes Test at Lord's, and said Pat Cummins' side will have to work really hard to stop the home team's run flow. England came out all guns blazing after Australia seemed to have put themselves in a comfortable position at 416 in the first innings on Day 2 of the second Test. But Ben Stokes' side continued to play their aggressive brand of cricket -- called Bazball named after their New Zealand coach Brendon McCullum -- and managed 278/4 off just 61 overs at stumps on Thursday, scoring 4.55 runs per over.
