THE PREDICTION
The 2023 Ashes series got underway in the most dramatic of circumstances as England and Australia played out an unbelievable Test match at Edgbaston. The Aussies edged a thriller by two wickets with the game in the balance right until the end of the fifth day, in part because of the way England approached the game. Their first innings declaration played its part in a result being found and while they were not on the right side of it, there was a lot to like about how they attacked the game. The hosts will need to improve and find the right balance moving forward but they could get some joy in this Lord’s pitch which is likely to be more active than the one played in Birmingham. The tourists showed their quality to claim the win in the first encounter and there is more to come from the likes of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne and that will worry England but if Joe Root can find a couple of companions and Jimmy Anderson can get the ball to swing, the hosts can bounce straight back and level the series to set things up brilliantly for the remaining contests.
TIP: ENGLAND TO WIN
