England vs Australia 2023 2nd Test Match Prediction

England will take on Australia in the 2nd Test of the Ashes 2023 at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, London from Wednesday (28 June) morning.

The England Team lost the 1st Test at Edgbaston by 2 wickets. Root scored his 30th Test century and was supported by Bairstow’s half-century in the first innings. Pacers Broad and Robinson picked up 6 and 5 wickets in the match. A more significant contribution from the top order and Anderson with the ball will be critical in this match.   

On the other hand, Australia brilliantly started the 2023 Ashes with a thrilling victory last week. Khwaja scored his first century in England and was well supported by captain Cummins and Lyon with the ball. The Cummins-Lyon pair also put up the winning partnership on the final day. Starc may come in place of Boland/Hazlewood for this match.
