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

1. James Anderson

Ten-wicket hero at Trent Bridge. A lot of talk ahead of the Test has been about England’s extreme reliance upon the swing bowler and hence his performance will be under scrutiny. Even if he takes a five-wicket-haul, it will only be what is expected out of him.

Conditions at Lord’s will offer a bit of swing upfront with the new ball but it will take a while for reverse-swing to kick-in as a result of which over 20-50 become crucial. It will be interesting to see how Cook uses Anderson during that stage of the game. If Australia can negate him, they stand a good chance of putting up a competitive total on board.
