After suffering a 169-run defeat to England at Cardiff, Australia will now look to take the revenge and level the series when the two sides lock horns in the second Ashes Test at Lord's starting today.

Though Australia are the current holders of the 'Ashes-Urn', the home side looked more promising and would be eyeing one more victory at the historic cricket ground.

Australia has already dropped all-rounder Shane Watson for this Test and Mitchell Marsh is all set to replace him.

Meanwhile, uncapped Peter Nevill will replace the veteran wicket-keeper batsman Brad Haddin who has withdrawn from the Lord's Test citing 'family reasons'.
