"Pat Cummins Told Me Not To Bat, But...": Nathan Lyon On Decision To Play On Day 4 Of Lords Test

Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon was told by his skipper Pat Cummins not to bat with a significant calf strain in the ongoing second Test against England but the veteran spinner ended up doing that to "support" his teammates. Lyon, playing in his 100th consecutive Test, is suspected to have torn his right calf while running to catch a ball on day two of the second Ashes Test at Lord's. But on Saturday, he hobbled onto the batting crease and helped Australia add 15 runs to increase their lead to 370 runs.

"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'.

As Australia all-rounder Cameron Green got England batter Ben Duckett to hit a bouncer towards the fine third-man area, fielder Mitchell Starc's eyes lit up. Starc seemed to be in absolute control as he grabbed the catch. Upon finishing the catch, the Australia star had a big smile on his face, confident that he did enough to send the England batter packing. But, little did he know of what was awaiting. As Duckett began walking towards the pavillion, he was recalled after the third umpire suggested that Starc's catch wasn't clean.
