Australia's left-arm quick Mitchell Starc could be in contention to return to the bowling attack for the second Ashes test at Lord's but captain Pat Cummins said he may delay a decision on the final lineup closer to Wednesday's toss.
Cummins said the weather may also come into play, with heavy clouds forecast for Wednesday potentially altering the surface, as he faces a selection headache with Starc, Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood vying for two slots in the pace attack. "I thought everyone who played last week did a great job. We've got Starcy there obviously who didn't play last week who comes into the conversation as well."
The skipper said Australia will stick to their approach and aim to wear out England before the third test at Headingley, only four days after the scheduled end of the second.
