London ∙ The second match of the Ashes Test series between Australia and England will start today at the Lords Cricket Ground. England, who lost the first Test, must win this match to return to the series. Twenty-five-year-old pacer Josh Tong has been included in the England squad in place of all-rounder Moeen Ali, who suffered a finger injury.
With this, part-time spinner Joe Root will be the only spin option in the team. Australia will leave without any significant changes in the team that won the first test. Mitchell Starc will replace all-rounder Cameron Green in the starting eleven if they decide to play one more pacer.
With England opting to go with 4 pacers, it is certain that the pitch at Lodz will favor the pace bowlers. In the first Test at Edgbaston, the pitch was in favor of the batsmen and spin bowlers. The pitch at Edgbaston was criticized by English pacer James Anderson. In this situation, it is reported that a pitch has been prepared to help the pacers in Lodz.
