Australia's thrilling win in the opening Test of the Ashes will give way to the sport's biggest series returning to Lord's for the second Test as England attempt to get back onto the front foot. This is Zero Wicket's ultimate guide to the second Test.
The match will get underway on Wednesday, June 29, with the first ball set for 8pm (AEST) - 11am (local time) at Lord's in London.
Australia chased down 281 in the first Test at Edgbaston with just a matter of overs remaining on the fifth day and only two wickets in hand.
England have already seemingly rolled out a pitch with more life in it if early pictures of the surface are anything to go by, and will play four quicks, with Moeen Ali dropped.
Australia are yet to confirm their XI but are unlikely to play four quicks with Nathan Lyon a permanent fixture of the team.
