There was quite a nit chatters around between the first test and the second test about various topics. Both sides pass a few words but it is Australia who are 1-0 up in the series and that is what matters the most.
So to Lord’s, and five days that will likely decide if Australia can take a vice-like grip and put themselves on course for a series win in England since 2001 or whether the home side can draw level and set up a potentially great series. The weather will play an important role as it did in the first test. It will rain or not, you never know when it is in England.

The hitters will struggle out there in the middle against Dukes ball because it remains firm for a longer period of time. The hitters may play their shots after settling down since the hard outfield would fully reward them for their efforts. It has been seen that spinners also play a role in later games as well.
