England unchanged for second Ashes test

ENGLAND has named an unchanged 13-man squad for the second Ashes test at Lord’s next week having thrashed Australia by 169 runs in Cardiff on Saturday to take a 1-0 series lead, the England and Wales Cricket Board said yesterday.

England won the opening test inside four days having bowled Australia out for 242, which was chasing a daunting 412 to win, and banished memories of the humiliating 0-5 Ashes whitewash in the previous series down under. Joe Root scored a masterful hundred in the first innings and a fifty in the second while there were also pressure-easing half centuries from Gary Ballance and Ian Bell. Should the same 11 take the field at Lord’s on Thursday, Middlesex pace bowler Steven Finn, without a test cap since July 2013, and Yorkshire’s uncapped spinner Adil Rashid will miss out.
