Subtitles section

Sky Sports Cricket, Ashes podcast is back for Ashes Test 2 here at Lourdes, and we've got the usual suspects in a way.

KP, welcome.

There was a little bit going on before the first ball today, and I just want to remind everyone that the Independent Commission Report on Equity in Cricket, we had a good discussion about that pre-match,

And there's a podcast about that.

We're going to keep all the chats today to this Ashes Test, and we started off with a brilliant performance right from the get-go.

KP, ding-dong, how's your bell ringing?

Oh yes, I was about to say, we haven't seen much in the cricket at the start.

Yeah, a pretty cool day.

I mean, never expected it, and it was actually quite an emotional moment because it's quite a cool thing to do.

I think Morgi did it just before the Ireland Test match, and I didn't think it was going to be actually as big as it was.

I mean, I honestly don't know.

I thought it was going to pop up there and they're going to say, ring the bell, players to come on, bang, bang, bang.

Then the guys started talking and talking, and I'm like, stop talking, stop talking, and carry on.

And all the players are staring, and I'm going, stop talking.

I just want to ring the bell.

And I didn't want to do it wrong, and they said, just hit it hard enough so that people on the other side of the ground can hear you.

And you don't trial it, so I just went.

They said, good technique.

But a cool day, but pales into insignificance when you look at what's happening here today and the importance of what today has been in the cricket.

Yeah, we've got a bit of play still going on at the moment.

What did you think of his form before we get on?

Yeah, very good.

Actually, I said it to him before, it is an extremely big privilege here that I never gave that much thought to, because like Kev, I never thought I'd do it.

But very, very lucky to be asked to do it.

Okay, let's get into the day's play.

There was one change for Ingo Moenallee out and Josh Tong getting his opportunity again at Lords.

He played superbly well against Ireland a couple of weeks ago, and then there was a change for Australia too, with Mo Scott Boland and Mitchell Stark coming in.

Surprised?

Stiff on Boland, because I think this wicket, if you can see what has happened today, he bowled that 85, 86 mile an hour.

I think you do get some rewards.

Tong has got rewards.

I just think that the England bowlers haven't been as quick enough just to get that little bit of extra zip off the wicket.

But then you have a look at the Australian bowling line-up.

Mitchell Stark is a very, very fast bowler.

He attacks the stumps.

I know in the first session of play England, the stumps hit.

Four balls were going to hit the stumps.

When you think about Australia and the way that they bowl, more balls will hit the stumps.

So they probably would have been way more threatening than what England were today.

And the other big point coming into this game is Nathan Lyon.

100th Test match, consecutively.

It's a ridiculous record for an offspin, isn't it?

Yeah, it's crazy.

We're talking pre-game about the various different milestones that players go through.

Nathan Lyon has obviously had a considerable amount of them, but this one has probably been the most significant because you're not sure if that will ever be broken or matched.

It's such a hell of an achievement.

But not only to stay fit for that incredible amount of time, but to continue performing at such a high level is unbelievable.

So well done Nathan Lyon.

And in Test matches like this where it's a seeming deck and you pick your seamers and he still gets an opportunity to play?

Yeah, I think when you look at the balance that Australia have got in with, particularly during various different stages, he has been the constant.

You talk about the calibre of fast bowlers they have.

It's normally Stark, Hazelwood-Cummins or another comes in that is equally as good or a nice replacement.

But normally you would say, right, we'll go hard at the spinner and create opportunities.

He bowls in Australia all the time.

It's incredible the amount of wickets that he's taken.

Start of the day's play, there's a little bit of mizzle, mist, drizzle, whatever you want to say around a little bit.

England win the toss.

I don't think it was any surprise at all that they put Australia in.

And Warner and Kawaja just saw things out.

Kawaja fell early, but it was probably Warner that looked the best of the two.

He looked brilliant in Birmingham.

He set up nicely.

His technique was solid.

He went on a crunching drive which led to his demise in that first innings in Birmingham.

But again, he started really well today.

His technique actually looks like it's quite solid.

Against Broad in particular, he's obviously done a lot of hard work on his technique and he's found a game plan that he actually thinks, well, this is the way I'm going to line up.

And the way that he has lined up looked solid.

He got bored on occasions.

He got a sweep away to, who was it?

Was it Broad or Robinson a little bit earlier?

Yeah, a bit expansive.

So he did.

He was back in his T20 colours for a few deliveries.

But I think he'll be happy with the fact that he got some runs because he would have been very unhappy on that wicket that was dished up last week in Birmingham to have missed out because that was as flat as it gets.

With that being said, as flat as it was, it was so slow.

And David Warner doesn't like a slow wicket.

This kind of wicket with something in it, play and miss, yes.

Players were going to play and miss today.

But that bit of bounce and to score a little bit quicker, this wicket gave him that opportunity.

Morks, I almost felt like the Australians looked at Josh Tong and thought, you guy into the side, we're going to go at you.

And first three overs, none for 24 and it felt like that.

And then he fought back superbly well, getting both opens.

Oh, it was with an absolute jaffa, well two actually, to David Warner that he sort of made the breakthrough.

The first one way too good and the second one just clipped the top of leg stump.

And Warner for great clarity, great balance about his batting at the moment and a really good energy.

So even though Kawaji didn't make a major contribution, he was still pivotal in that early period.

He left really well, got miles on the England's legs and England didn't come anywhere near the reward that they would have expected given the conditions.

So it was nice to see Tong come in and sort of bounce back and fight and show a little bit of character because it lacked, particularly in that first session, from the England bowlers.

And then it brings out to the middle, Smith and Labashain, who collectively only scored 35 runs at Edgbaston, which is unheard of.

They looked as if they were just finding their groove a little bit again.

They were.

I said at the start of the day that there was actually pressure on them because I don't think you turn up at a ground and you have that right to say, I've got 100 already.

And it proved that way, although Steve Smith has been spectacular.

Labashain only got 47 and I say only 47. I think he would have liked to have been the crease still now with how much he absolutely loves batting and how much Steve Smith loves batting.

So Steve Smith is still doing the job.

He's 85 not.

I think this will probably be the last delivery of the day.

But yeah, no one has the right to get runs.

However, they did the hard yards to get themselves to the places where they got to.

And it shows their quality because they were under pressure, no doubt about it.

All of Australia, all of the world, best batters in the world.

You've got to score runs.

If you fail, you have to score runs.

And actually they set the tide beautifully for what the score is today.

And the last time they played at this ground, it was a completely different scenario because Steve Smith gets hit.

This was the concussion back in 2019.

Marlis Labashain comes in and replaces him.

The first time that happens in Test cricket.

Now they're out there batting together for a partnership.

Two high-quality players and both different entry points.

Steve Smith has played Test cricket for a long time, almost had two bites at the cherry.

The second one being obviously the most productive of his career.

But the class in the similar vein to that of Marlis Labashain.

His first ball in that particular Test hit him on the grill.

It was an absolute beauty from Geoff Archer.

And to get himself back up and to bring his A game, get his feet moving again, get himself right back in the game.

I think they saved the game or won the game in that particular one.

But he has been classed.

The surprise for me, Ben Stokes has done things differently throughout his whole captaincy tenure.

But after Edgbaston, when Stuart Broad has dismissed Labashain twice, he came in after the lunch break and went straight to Josh Tong, which is a huge surprise given that Broad got him with that new out-swing delivery that he's been working on.

Steve Smith second fastest in 9,000 runs as well after Kumar Sengakara.

You almost wonder where can he go?

He is a mighty fine player.

And having played against him as the spinner, the leggy that batted eight, to see him now walk off at Lord's, 85 red, approaching another hundred, will be his 32nd hundred with the numbers that he keeps piling up.

He just loves batting this guy.

He just absolutely loves it.

And I just love the temperament in which he started today.

He was really at it.

He was buzzing.

And then he just settled down and said, OK, I'm in.

The situation has told me to just bat now for the rest of the day.

And I'm going to do it.

We've just seen that it is the end of play on day one.

Australia at 339 for five.

They haven't declared, have they?

Maybe.

You never know.

Who knows?

I am looking at the bowlers there.

And Jimmy Anderson is the one that sort of stands out for me.

None for 29 or 15 overs today.

Spent quite a bit of time off the field.

Only one wicket at Edgbaston.

I think it was the first time in 14 years he didn't take the new ball on the last test.

Didn't bowl one over in that last 36 and a half overs remaining as well.

Where's he at at the moment?

Yeah, he looks like he's struggling a little bit.

His comments after the Birmingham Test match were, I'm done if wickets are like this again.

The wicket actually offered as much today as they could have ever offered him.

If he could have asked for the most perfect wicket in the most perfect conditions, this morning had it.

There was drizzle.

There was everything.

But I gave England a massive spray at tea time just because it didn't look like they wanted it.

And you've got to want it.

England are 1-0 down in the series.

And I think you've got to want it more than what we saw.

Australian batters are out there.

They walk out there to bat before the England bowlers are down there wanting to bowl.

So there was just a little bit of, I don't know what it was.

I don't know what language they use.

That calmness, that friendliness.

That atmosphere in an Ashes series has to change.

Do you think a little bit of that is the pressure applied by someone like Travis Head who comes out and just, blink of an eye, run a ball half-century?

Yeah, I do.

And entry points are important and setting the tone is important.

And England have done that for what, 14 games over the course of 13 months or 12 months.

Australia have done it for a very, very long time.

There's no doubt that they're number one in the world and deservedly so.

But playing against them, you should be looking for opportunities not only to compete but get past them.

Today England, I thought, didn't compete for the majority of the day.

I thought Australia were excellent and just continued to apply pressure throughout when conditions were going against them.

So again, like Kev said, there was something lacking certainly for two out of the three sessions in that England side.

And then it was a surprise that it wasn't the seamers that got the wick, but it was Joe Root who turned and he went bang, bang, head and green in the same over.

We talked about Nathan Lyon.

I think he's sitting in the dressing room upstairs thinking, I'm so excited.

Shane Warne always said, if it's seams, it's spins.

Seam today and it's spun today.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, it's a big first hour, isn't it, for them?

A huge first hour.

Yeah, no, no, no, I do.

I really do.

With Australia going with Stark ahead of Boland, it does mean that they bat deeper.

So you still have Stark, Boland comes.

Even if you make an early breakthrough, they still do bat deep.

And for England, I still believe that this is a wicket where you can take wickets in clusters because it has swung around, it has seamed, the numbers backed that up, Hawkeye backed that up.

Out of all the grounds in the country that they play test matches, this ground swings more than any and it did again today and it will tomorrow, I guarantee you.

So they have to be on the money, they have to be more accurate, they have to take their chances and take half chances in order to get back into this test match.

And they need to show a little bit of something tomorrow, England, and then they're in the game.

If they don't win tomorrow's first session and Australia get to 4-20, 4-30, 4-6, 4-7, it's a problem because you ask the question have they declared?

Australia ain't declaring.

When the foot's on the throat, that's it.

And England didn't do that last week.

There we go.

It's a run rate here at Lord's on Thursday.

Just kept climbing for Australia as they finished off.

83 overs the first day, finishing on 339 for five.

And they're all set up for day two.

Join us at 10.15pm on Sky Sports Cricket.

We'll see you then.
