A huge setback for Australia in the second Test of the Ashes series. Aussies are struggling with the injury of superstar Nathan Lyon. Australia’s bowling spearhead Lion’s injury might decide the future of the series.
Lion got injured when England was 182 for one wicket. English opener Ben Duckett’s hook shot near deep square leg was missed by Lion as he tried to get a handhold.
After the injury, Lion walked very hard. The pain of the injury was clearly visible on his face. Aussies fielded Matt Renshaw as a substitute fielder to replace Lion.
Cricket Australia has also not released any major update on the player’s injury. The board says only that Lion is injured and will be tested following the match.
But there are reports that the star’s injury is serious and there is a possibility of losing this series completely. In that case, there is a high chance that things will get out of hand for Australia.
After Lion’s injury, Glenn McGrath’s injury during the 2005 Ashes series came to the mind of the fans. Following the injury, McGrath missed several matches in the series and England won the Ashes following 18 years.
It is also noteworthy that Lion was injured in the same match in which he became the first bowler to play 100 consecutive Test matches and became the sixth player to do so.
The player who bowled 13 overs conceded 35 runs and took one wicket before leaving the field due to injury.
In the second Test, the Aussies lost the toss and were bowled out for 416 runs. The Aussies built a good score on the strength of Steve Smith’s century.
While Smith scored 110 runs from 184 balls, Travis Head with 77 runs and David Warner with 66 runs provided good support.
In the first Test for England, Ollie Robinson and Josh Tunk took three wickets each while Joe Root took two wickets. James Anderson and Stuart Broad took the remaining wickets.
At the end of the second day, England, who batted in the first innings, stood at 278 for four wickets. Harry Brook scored 45 runs from 51 balls and captain Ben Stokes scored 17 runs from 57 balls at the crease.
