Australian skipper Pat Cummins has said that he would be expecting Steve Smith And Marnus Labuschagne to turn up full steam in the Lord’s Ashes Test. England would be roaring to make a comeback in the 2nd Test match on 28th June at Lord’s. England’s bowlers would be tested against the duo of Steve Smith & Marnus Labuschagne. Steve Smith has a promising record at Lord’s as his wicket would be pivotal.

Australia needs their swashbuckling left-handed batter, David Warner to make the most of the start. Warner was getting into the groove during the run chase of 281 but once again will have to negate the threat of Stuart Broad, the pacer knows how to fox him.

England have taken a bold step by playing the contest with 4 seamers along with skipper Ben Stokes. It won’t be a surprise if Joe Root rolls his arm over as he is the lone part-time spinner present in the attack.

All the eyes will be on the elegant Usman Khawaja, the batter seemed in complete control in both the innings. It would be interesting to see what approach will be of the dashing left-handed batter Travis Head as his attacking brand of cricket has been fruitful.
