The Ashes 2013: 1st Test, Day 3 - Five players to watch out for

3. Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen had to dig deep into his reserves of patience in the last session of Day 2 as he tried to anchor the English innings along with captain Alastair Cook.

The right-handed batsman will look to make up for his failure in the first innings by putting on a good display on Day 3. He can give shape to this match by scoring a substantial innings. The ease with which he can change gears makes him a huge threat to Australia.

Ashton Agar will be deployed soon enough if the seamers are unable to send him to the pavilion in the first hour of the day as he has shown a particular vulnerability against left-arm off spinners.
