ENG vs AUS 2nd Test: An hour and six minutes after it appeared they had lost it, Australia emerged as the victor in a dramatic first Test by two wickets beating England 1-0 at Edgbaston. As the bitter rivals are all set to square off in the second test, in this post, we will go over the ENG vs AUS 2nd Test Date, Timing, Venue, Pitch report, Streaming, and Broadcasting details.
Australians possess an elevated degree of confidence after the dramatic victory in the first test. Joe Root advises supporters to “strap in” as England looks to step up their aggressive approach and recover from their loss in the first Ashes Test.
“Bazball”, which after the tormenting time under Joe Root, garnered huge success for England, awarding them 11 wins in 13 matches is a success, or has 1 loss against Australia washed out all the hype for it? The fact that England controlled most of the sessions and still lost the Edgbaston Test of the ongoing Ashes 2023 was seen as proof that “Bazball” has to be modified or abandoned entirely. But England is confident enough and is all set to double to an aggressive approach in the ENG vs AUS 2nd test.
Australia’s bowling was not up to the mark in the first innings and there are chances of Mitchell Starc being called back into the side in place of Bolland. After falling for over six runs per over at Edgbaston, Scott Boland’s position in Australia’s lineup for the second Test at the Lord’s is sure to come under inspection. Let’s jump right into the ENG vs AUS 2nd test details.

Lord’s Pitch Report
England’s summer season has officially begun, and the Lord’s Test pitch is anticipated to be green. The incline at the field causes the ball to swing, which keeps the player on their toes all the time. The weather will also play an important role as the ball will be moving quite a lot. It can rain any now and then when it is in England.
