    Looks like Harris & Khawaja in for Starc & Cowan.

    Ed Cowan, Mitchell Starc axed for Usman Khawaja and Ryan Harris for second Ashes Test at Lord's

      Happy with Usman coming in. I thought Starc was ok though.

        I thought Starc was mostly good in the first test but it looks like the selectors were worried about his control at Lords. Even if Khawaja doesn't make a lot of runs I would prefer him not making runs to Cowan not making runs - at least there is an upside to Usman.

          I hope Khawaja's fielding has improved
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Root always looks incredibly nervous

              Edit: Watson comes on first change and gets Cook with his second ball, yeeeeeah

                Nice bowling change.

                  This is an ODI right.

                  1/26 after 5.2 overs, three bowlers used.

                    Another very contentious DRS decision.

                    FFS, just let the umpire make the call and be done with it.

                      Close call but appears to have hit pad first.

                        Huge wicket of Pietersen.

                        Great start to the Aussies.

                          KP walked straight away. Just saying.

                              Another wicket here would be awesome.......Bell is a nervous starter always a chance to get him early!
