The Ashes 2013: 2nd Test at Lord's - Five players to watch out for on Day 2

4. Chris Rogers

The veteran had a moderately successful start to his Ashes career as he made a half-century in the second innings at Trent Bridge. He has the ability to anchor the innings for Australia, which is exactly what is required given that they will be measuring themselves against a target over 300.

Anything short of the English first innings total will spell defeat for Australia. The batting conditions will be friendly and Rogers has the vital experience of playing at Lord’s many a time during his county career.

He is the ideal foil to his opening partner Watson and they will be hoping to take a step forward from the Trent Bridge second innings performance.
