Ashes 2019: Australia repel England to draw second Test at Lord's

'As acrobatic as you like' - Denly's brilliant catch removes PaineIf their heavy defeat in the first Test at Edgbaston left England with all the problems - Smith's two centuries, James Anderson injured, Moeen Ali dropped - then it is the home side who will go to Headingley with the momentum.

It is Archer who has changed the complexion of this series, not only by inflicting the injury on Smith that leaves him a doubt for Headingley, but by possessing the sheer pace that will surely continue to trouble the Australians. He backed up Saturday's venomous spell to Smith with a new-ball burst on Sunday, reducing Australia to 19-2 then flooring Labuschagne with a terrifying bouncer.

Matthew Wade popped Leach to short leg and yet another ferocious Archer spell was rewarded when square leg Denly magnificently leapt high to his left to hold a hooking Paine in one hand. That they were put into a position from which they could win was down to the patience then power of Stokes, who scored his first Test century in more than two years and his first since the incident outside a Bristol nightclub that denied him a place on the last Ashes tour.

As England rattled along at almost six an over, Stokes swept off-spinner Nathan Lyon for successive sixes, while Bairstow hit two sixes of his own.

No they didn’t, they scraped a draw, if it wasn’t for the weather they’d have been beaten 👍

The funny thing about England is that they think this is 2005 ,all their comparison is about 2005.. Australia have seen Archer and they won't sleep about it..
