    What's the story

    England will be crossing swords against Australia in the second Ashes Test at the Lord's, starting June 28.

    The hosts will be keen to get back on level terms after losing the thriller at Edgbaston. Besides, Australia will be hoping to pile up the pressure by going 2-0 up in the five-match series.

    Nevertheless, it promises to be another enthralling Test match.

    Here's more.

    Match details

    Pitch report, timing and streaming details

    The match will be played at the Lord's and conditions will favor all parties. The pitch ideally will help the pacers but as the innings will progress batters will score runs.

    In 151 Tests here, 51 of them have been won by teams batting first.

    Sony Sports Network will telecast the game whereas the SonyLIV app will live-stream the match from 3:30pm IST onward.

    Head-to-head

    A look at the head-to-head record

    The eternal rivals, England and Australia have crossed swords in 356 Test matches. While Australia have the upper hand with 150 victories, England have registered 110 wins. 96 matches have ended in a draw.

    Notably, Australia have the upper hand at Lord's against England, having won 15 Tests at the venue. While England have managed only seven wins against Australia here (15 draws).

    England

    England promise to continue their attacking brand of cricket

    There was much criticism of the 'Bazball', the philosophy England have adopted ever since the arrival of their coach Brendon McCullum, after the defeat in Edgbaston.

    However, England have won 11 of the 14 Tests under McCullum's reign.

    Despite the defeat, England will continue to play their 'Bazball' as it has been fruitful for them and has brought results in recent times.

    Australia

    Australia in high spirits after Edgbaston win

    Australia are high on confidence after they defeated India to win the World Test Championship final and followed it up with a brilliant chase at Edgbaston to go 1-0 up in the Ashes.

    There were plenty of positives for Australia in the last win. However, they won the match without a sizeable contribution from Steve Smith, which speaks volumes about their strength and depth.

    Probable lineups

    Here are the Probable/Playing XIs

    England's Playing XI: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jonny Bairstow (wicket-keeper), Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson, Josh Tongue, and James Anderson.

    Australia's Probable XI: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wicket-keeper), Pat Cummins (captain), Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, and Scott Boland.
