ENG vs AUS 2nd ODI: England won the toss and opted to bowl first

England won the toss and will bowl first in the second one-day international against Australia at Headingley on Saturday. Travis Head's career-best 154 not out Thursday powered the tourists to a seven-wicket win in the opener of the five-match series between the fierce cricket rivals. Australia looks even stronger with senior players Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood back after they sat out in Nottingham because of illness. Ben Dwarshuis, Sean Abbott and Cameron Green are out. Olly Stone replaces Jofra Archer in England's only change. ___ Australia: Travis Head, Matt Short, Mitchell Marsh (captain), Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood England: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Harry Brook (captain), Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Olly Stone, Matt Potts, Adil Rashid.

Green may skip series against Pakistan to prepare for home Tests vs India

Australia batter Cameron Green is likely to skip the white-ball series in Pakistan later this year and instead play Sheffield Shield to prepare himself for the the big-ticket home Test series against India in December, according to head coach Andrew McDonald. The same template worked for the 24-year-old in the ongoing Test series in New Zealand as he hit a career-best 174 not out in Australia's big win in the first match here on Sunday. He was not included in the recent T20I series against the West Indies and New Zealand and instead earmarked him for West Australia's Sheffield Shield fixture against Tasmania in Hobart, where he struck an unbeaten 103 to provide an ideal warm-up for the first Test against the Kiwis. "It's a big decision to leave anyone out of international cricket when they're potentially in the best eleven, so I'm glad he (Green) embraced that when we had that conversation with him, and the return on it is pretty immediate," MacDonald said. "The next stress point o

England stand great chance in Ashes 2025 against 'Dad's Army': Vaughan

Former captain Michael Vaughan feels Australia looked jaded in the recent home Test series against the West Indies and said England stand a great chance in next year's Ashes if a "Dad's Army" is fielded by their arch-rivals. Vaughan said most of the players in the current Australian Test side are ageing and the need of the hour is to infuse fresh talent in order to continue dominating world cricket. Australia drew the recent two-Test series against the West Indies, who have a poor record Down Under. Playing in only his second Test, Shamar Joseph single-handedly guided West Indies to a narrow eight-run win at Brisbane, returning with stunning figures of 7/68 in the second innings. "There was not much optimism in Australia that it would be a great Test summer because the two touring teams, Pakistan and West Indies, had poor recent records Down Under. But it was actually very competitive, as proved by the Windies pulling off that stunning win at the Gabba," Vaughan wrote in a column f

Ashes 5th Test: Anderson keeps place as England name unchanged XI vs AUS

England announced an unchanged team on Wednesday to play Australia in the fifth and final Ashes test at the Oval. England record wicket-taker James Anderson, who turns 41 on the fourth day, retains his place in the side despite a disappointing series so far while pacer Mark Wood and all-rounder Chris Woakes have both been passed fit. The fifth test starts Thursday. Australia takes a 2-1 lead into the match and has already retained the urn but England is looking to level the series after the final-day washout at Old Trafford in the drawn fourth test. Jimmy Anderson is the greatest fast bowler to play the game, England captain Ben Stokes said. He's not had the impact and the wickets he'd have liked to in this series, he's come under a bit of flak, but he's a quality performer. Australia arrived in south London with an insurmountable lead as holder of the Ashes, but a similar scenario in 2019 saw the team come unstuck in the final test and forced to settle for a drawn series.

Ashes 4th Test drawn: Manchester rain washes away England and Stokes' dream

Australia has retained the Ashes after rain prevented any play on the final day of the fourth test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday. Australia has an insurmountable 2-1 lead with one test left. England needed to win the five-match series to take the urn off holder Australia. England was favorite to win the fourth test with Australia 214-5 and 61 runs behind the hosts. Only 30 overs were possible on Saturday.

Ashes: Rain delays start of fifth day; England's chances hang by a thread

Rain prevented play from starting on time on the last day of the fourth Ashes cricket test between England and Australia on Sunday. The weather forecast is bleak and it is possible that play will be washed out for the rest of the day. Only 30 overs were possible on Saturday, with plenty more rain forecast on what could be a frustrating final day at Old Trafford. Australia are more than happy to settle for a draw that would see them retain their 2-1 lead and the urn, meaning England will be forced to make the most of whatever windows of play are possible. They have already been frustrated by a 103-run stand between centurion Marnus Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh, but saw their prospects rise when Joe Root had the former caught behind. There is little margin for error after their 275-run first-innings lead was whittled down to 61 by the tourists, who will resume on 214-5.
