After the uproar at normally staid Lord’s and losing by 43 runs, England is the more desperate side at 2-0 down. Australia can clinch the series and retain the urn at Headingley.
Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal at Lord’s on Sunday has upped the tension in an already gripping series. Even though both sides have said they’re moving on from the incident, they’re heading to what is regarded as the most hostile ground in England. Bairstow, whose home ground is Headingley, wandered from his crease after the last ball of Cameron Green’s over and was stumped. England agree the decision was correct but didn’t think it was sporting. Australia said it was fair.
That suggested England was preparing for another batter-friendly strip with a deeper lineup, and bolstering its chances of bowling out Australia twice.Australia has lost off-spinner Nathan Lyon for the series to a torn calf, and replaced him with heir Todd Murphy, who will play his fifth test and first in the Ashes.
Anderson has modest returns of three wickets at an average of 75.33. He turns 41 at the end of the month and will reappear for the fourth test at Old Trafford, where one of the ends bears his name. Woakes makes his first appearance of the Bazball era and Ali is back after a badly blistered right index finger forced him to miss Lord’s.
Brook batted at No. 3 early in his Yorkshire career and with limited returns but Stokes said, “We feel Brooky is a type of player who can just take responsibility and crack on with it. We want to keep Joe at No. 4, he’s a remarkable player.”
