LONDON : England will not change their attacking philosophy in the second Ashes test against Australia at Lord's this week despite falling agonisingly short in a thriller at Edgbaston, vice-captain Ollie Pope said on Monday.

England's best batsman Joe Root was stumped charging down the pitch at Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon having scored 46 from 55 balls in the second innings and other batters made good starts but failed to cash in. Another defeat at Lord's would leave England's hopes of reclaiming the Ashes hanging by a thread and facing a first home series defeat by Australia since 2001.

"If we feel there are overhead one evening and we might have a half-hour opportunity to get a few wickets and get into their middle order early the next day, then we'll talk about it."
