Australia's Nathan Lyon On Crutches With Ashes Future In Doubt

Nathan Lyon's future on the Ashes tour is uncertain after he arrived at Lord's on Friday on crutches, as the Australian camp reported the bowler had suffered a "significant calf strain". The off-spinner limped off during Thursday's second day of the second Test after pulling up, having run in from the boundary while fielding. The 35-year-old, appearing to wipe away tears, eventually limped around the boundary edge towards the dressing room while a staff member supported him. Lyon, appearing in his 100th consecutive Test, joined his team-mates at Lord's on Friday morning, using crutches and wearing a compression sock.

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.

"Evolution Of Bazball...": Australia Great Finds A Trend In England's Philosophy

Since Brendon McCullum took over as England coach, the team has played an attractive and aggressive brand of cricket - popularly known as 'Bazball'. Sometimes that approach even has backfired, like in the first Test. England batted aggressively but also gifted wickets to the Aussies as they ultimately lost by two wickets. However, former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie has said that the Bazball concept might be going through an evolution.

Watch: Marnus Labuschagne Puts Dropped Chewing Gum Back In Mouth, Gross Act Caught On Camera

Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne is one of the most interesting characters in world cricket. Recently dethroned as the no.1 Test batter in the world, Labuschagne is a player with a few peculiarities and rarely takes the field without having a chewing gum in his mouth. As far as his batting is concerned, the 29-year-old is a traditional Test batter who not only puts runs on the table but also entertains the cross, no matter which part of the world he is playing in. The South Africa-born batter did exactly that on Day 1 of the ongoing second Ashes Test against England at Lord's.

Steve Smith Issues Worrying Update on Nathan Lyon's Injury

Australia's batter Steve Smith updating about the injury of Nathan Lyon, said that his injury "did not look good". Lyon sustained an injury in the 37th over on day two of the second Ashes Test at Lord's of the England innings when Lyon was seen limping out with the physio shortly after completing a spell. Chasing a ball to the fence, Lyon seemed in immediate discomfort and was quickly taken off the field. "It doesn't look ideal for the rest of the game. I'm not sure how he actually is, but if he is no good, it is obviously a big loss for us. Fingers crossed he is okay but it didn't look good obviously," Smith said in a media interaction.
