LONDON : England will require more heroics from Ben Stokes if they are to pull off an unlikely victory over Australia on Sunday and level an Ashes series threatening to slide out of their control.
Mitchell Starc sparked an England collapse at Lord's on Sunday before Ben Duckett was given a controversial reprieve as the hosts maintained their bid for a remarkable win in the second Ashes Test. England were 114-4 at stumps on the fourth day, still needing a further 257 runs to reach a target of 371. Left-handed opener Duckett, who made 98 in the first innings, was 50 not out and captain Ben Stokes unbeaten on 29, with England looking to level the five-match series at 1-1. Starc, recalled following Australia's thrilling two-wicket win in last week's first Test at Edgbaston, reduced England to 13-2.
Ben Duckett was awarded a dramatic late reprieve to keep England's hopes of an audacious chase alive at Lord’s and cap a remarkable day of cricket that saw Nathan Lyon book his place in Ashes folklore.
England cricket team fast bowler Stuart Broad was left fuming after Ben Stokes did not take a review over the umpire's contentious decision during the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Friday. Marnus Labuschagne was trapped LBW and although the umpire give him not-out, it looked extremely close. Broad was completely convinced that it was out but Stokes decided against it. However, the replays showed that the ball should have crashed into the leg stump and the review would have been successful. Broad was not happy with the incident and when head coach Brendon McCullum signalled from the dressing room that it would have been out, Broad stopped and made his frustration known to the skipper.
Legendary England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott was left deeply disappointed by the performance of Ben Stokes and Co in the second Ashes Test against Australia at the Lord's. England lost their last six wickets for under 50 runs to hand Australia a massive advantage in the match and Boycott's expression during the game has gone viral. In a video posted on social media, the England great can be seen burying his face in his hands during the England innings. Boycott himself responded to the picture on social media saying - "Yes it does, batting without brains. Chatting to my captain Mike Brearley."
England’s costly habit of unforced batting errors reared its head again at Lord’s as they gave control of the second Ashes Test to Australia.
