Veteran fast bowler James Anderson on Saturday vowed England would be "more positive, more aggressive, more entertaining" when they look to level the Ashes series at Lord's next week.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said that England have some selection issues to deal with and suggested that wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow's errors were one of the main reasons England lost the first Test. Moeen Ali had a finger injury on Day 3 of the Test, limiting his bowling abilities. Bairstow has been chastised for his glove failures in the first Ashes Test against Australia at Edgbaston. "As far as I'm concerned now, England have more questions to answer than Australia. On their style of play, but also now looking at that first Test, they've got some selection issues that they're going to have to deal with as well," Ponting told ICC.

"New Mr Cool": Virender Sehwag Gives MS Dhoni's Title To This Player. Not From India

Former India skipper MS Dhoni is regarded one of the best captains in the history of cricket. From playing unbelievable knocks with the bat to showcasing lightening fast wicketkeeping skills, the 41-year-old cricketer has taken Team India across the line on numerous occasions. Over the years, Dhoni earned the title of "Mr Cool" due to his calm and composed nature, even during the extreme conditions in a match. However, former India batter Virender Sehwag has found a new "Mr Cool" and he is none other than Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins, who brilliantly led his side to victory over England in the first Ashes game on Tuesday.

Ashes 2023: Tim Paine Explains Where Australia Have 'Advantage' Over England

It would be advantage Australia during the Ashes as they can play at "different tempos", while England only know how to play "really hard", feels former Test skipper of the touring side Time Paine.

Australia defeated Ben Stokes' England by two wickets in a thrilling Ashes opener at Edgbaston with Cummins scoring an unbeaten 44 and guiding the visitors to victory when things had started to look difficult.
