I always assumed it was Fortress Lord's. This graph shows otherwise.

The next few days will be as about exciting as cricket can get.

Always been a happy hunting ground for Australia.

Interestingly though the last two Ashes tests at Lord's England have actually won. Pretty sure 2009 was the first Ashes test win at Lord's for England since before the Second World War.

Aus could really do with a good opening partnership from Warner and Rogers here, take a bit of pressure off their middle order.

Opening the batting is definitely an advantage in these circumstances so fancy Aus to level the series. They're currently 23-0 after 5 overs.

Lords is always a good wicket, so should be another great test match.

Did Lords not used to be the traditional 1st Test venue?

I always associated it with being the 2nd of a 5 match series and the Oval the 5th- in recent years with 2 match series it's quite often the first of them. Though in the 2005 Ashes it was first.

27 overs in the morning, 6 of them from the spinner, is a pretty poor show.

Edited for weird font sizing.

Nine overs per hour?

Poor show for the fans who are paying good money to sit and watch nothing happening.
