Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar‘s son Arjun was reportedly involved in England‘s tranining session, ahead of the second Test at Lord’s which begins on Thursday, July 16 against Australia. England lead the Ashes 2015 by 1-0 as they won the opening Test by 169 runs at Cardiff last week, and they will be aiming to make their winning run intact. On the other hand, Australia will feel under pressure after that loss that jolted them in the match wherein they underperformed in all departments .

Australia captain Michael Clarke has backed his side to emulate their 1997 predecessors by coming from behind to win an Ashes series. Clarke’s men go into the second Test at Lord’s on Thursday 1-0 down in the five-match Ashes series after England’s convincing 169-run win in Cardiff last week, reported AFP.

The last time Australia won the Ashes after losing was 18 years ago in England when Mark Taylor’s side suffered a nine-wicket loss at Edgbaston, but recovered with a rain-affected draw at Lord’s before winning the six-Test series 3-2.
“I know Tub (Taylor) quite well I know what happened in ’97, and I think that’s something that yeah we can speak about in the team meeting,” said Clarke. “I’m disappointed with the result (in Cardiff) but I’m not too concerned, because I know how good these players are,” added Clarke, looking to lead Australia to their first away Ashes series win in 14 years.
