How the first-day washout could force a switch in the attack. 🌧️ 9WWOS Ashes
There was nearly an awkward situation on day one, with the captains coming within minutes of a toss before another downfall; meaning they could have decided to bat or bowl based on different conditions to those they may face tomorrow.
Lyon took nine wickets in the first Test, including 6-49 in the final innings. Steve Smith, who made twin centuries at Edgbaston, hit 215 the last time he played a Test at Lord's. "If you bowl first and don't do the damage, Nathan Lyon to bowl last is a good situation for Australia. To me, I don't think Tim Paine will be all that concerned about the toss."Taylor said there could be a mental factor to consider thanks to the abandoned start.
