LONDON, June 27

England have named seamer Josh Tongue as a surprise pick in their team for the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord’s which starts tomorrow, replacing injured spinner Moeen Ali, the country’s cricket board (ECB) said today.

Off-spinner Ali was nursing a finger injury in the first match at Edgbaston that Australia won by two wickets and managed to bowl just 14 overs in the second innings.

“We’ve seen there’s quite a lot of grass on the wicket which is a bit green. Traditionally, Lord’s has offered more for the seamers, Stokes told the reporters. — Reuters
