LONDON : England fought back in thrilling fashion against Australia with three wickets before lunch on day four to keep alive their slim hopes of turning around the second Ashes test at Lord's on Saturday.
Former England captain Michael Atherton thinks that England's 'bazball' brand of cricket is not about all-out aggression but a calculated one and added that it has felt that England are not in control of what they are doing. "If you go back to last summer, England's approach is one of calculated aggression. Here, it seems to be all-out aggression, no matter what," Atherton told Sky Sports.

Australia's Usman Khawaja dug in to put Australia in control against England after the hosts' batting collapse in the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Friday. Ashes-holders Australia were strongly placed at 130-2 in their second innings, a lead of 221 runs, when rain forced an early close to the third day's play. Conditions for batting, with the floodlights switched on to counter the gloomy skies in London, were challenging.

LONDON : Rain stopped play on a grey evening at Lord's on the third day of the second Ashes test on Friday, with Australia leading England by 221 with eight wickets remaining.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan lashed out at the Ben Stokes-led side for its poor batting performance against Australia in the second Ashes Test at Lord's in London. Pat Cummins-led Australia made a really good comeback on the third day of the game with England too helping their cause. The Three Lions resumed their first innings at 278 for 4 on Friday with the captain himself unbeaten on 17 and Harry Brook batting on 45 not out. However, they failed to capitalise, thanks to their poor intent and shot selection.
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.
