Elsewhere, tweets flooded in from several cricketers, celebrating the auspicious festival of Eid. Away from the action, Indian leggie Yuzvendra Chahal shared a candid pic with his close friend and partner in crime Kuldeep Yadav after a training session.

England failed to use the conditions on Day One at Lord’s. Win the toss and bowl and you expect a better reward for bowling first. Advantage increasingly going Australia’s way in this 2nd Test. England’s bowling with a one dimensional look about it #ENGvAUS #Ashes

Pitch a little quicker today and enough movement still there for the Aussie bowlers with a yard of extra pace than England to be a handful.
