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.

ENG vs AUS, 2nd Ashes Test, Day 3 Live: England aim to close in on Australia's first innings total when they resume play on Day 3 at 278/4 at Lord's.

On Day 2, Ben Duckett fell agonisingly close of scoring his third Test century after he was dismissed on 98 by Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, Steve Smith scored his 32nd century to power Australia to 416. Smith hit 110 while Travis Head continued his red hot form with a quickfire 77. (Live Scorecard)

"Selectors Are Not Gods": Ex-India Star's Blunt Take On Sarfaraz Khan's Omission From India Test Squad

Despite piling up runs in domestic cricket over the last three years or so, Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan was ignored by the selectors for the upcoming Test series in West Indies. Not only that but Sarfaraz's non-selection has also raised a furore over the sanctity of domestic cricket. To clear their stance, the selection committee said that the reason behind Sarfaraz's omission has more to do with his fitness and behaviour, rather than performance. Former India women's team coach WV Raman has shared his views on the debate.

Out Or Not Out? Steve Smith's Catch To Dismiss Joe Root In 2nd Ashes Test Sparks Controversy

Steve Smith and sensational fielding go hand in hand. Be it a diving catch at slip or an outstanding effort at the boundary line, Steve Smith's brilliance is omnipresent when Australia are on the field. On Day 2 of the second Ashes Test between Australia and England, Smith once again proved why he is among the highly-rated fielders in the world. The moment came on the third ball of the 46th over during England's batting on Thursday.

Ex-BCCI Selector Calls Disciplinary Reasons As "Flimsy Grounds" For Sarfaraz Khan's Test Snub

The BCCI selectors are facing backlash for overlooking batter Sarfaraz Khan, who is going through a purple patch in his first-class cricket career. India announced the Test and ODI squads for their upcoming tour to the West Indies and Sarfaraz failed to find a spot in any of them. Quoting a BCCI source, a recent PTI report claimed that Sarfaraz's below-par "fitness level" as well as alleged "off-field conduct" influenced the decision taken by the selectors. However, former BCCI selector Saba Karim feels that this is a "flimsy" reason.

England vs Australia, 2nd Ashes Test, Day 2: Australia Stay In Game As England Gift Wickets

Australia preyed on England's determination to stick to aggressive 'Bazball' cricket as several batsmen fell into a hooking trap during the second Test at Lord's on Thursday. England, enjoying the best batting conditions of the match, were well placed at 188-1 in reply to Australia's first innings 416, with the visitors' spin bowler, Nathan Lyon, off the field with a calf injury. But England slumped to 222-4 as Australia bowled bouncers with as many as four men deep on the legside -- a tactic that could scarcely have been more obvious had it been signalled in neon lights.
