England have chipped away at Cricket Australia - XI, taking 7 wickets. This practice match augurs well for their tough upcoming Ashes series. Jonny Bairstow, the England wicketkeeper was off the field after hurting one of his fingers. England wouldn't want their star players to pick up injuries in a practice match.
Yeah England wouldn't want to lose another player to injury just before the start of the Ashes. Australia also has a dilemma when it comes to picking their 12 man team as a couple of the batsman have been in poor form so it will be interesting to see what team they go in with and if they make any changes to the batting line up.
