As then, England could not quite take advantage \u2013 all the more reason for them to rue yesterday\u2019s self-immolations by Ben Duckett and Harry Brook, and for Australia to bless Pat Cummins\u2019s abiding edge on Joe Root. The strain to Lyon\u2019s right hamstring occurred without warning, in the 77th over, when Jamie Smith pulled Cameron Green to long leg. Lyon, momentarily unsighted, responded late, dived full-length to his right, made a brilliant one-handed save, but rose to his feet as though shot in the leg \u2013 he is in for a sore Christmas and, one strongly suspects, an inactive Boxing Day. His captain has hinted he might be joining him too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As at Lord\u2019s in 2023, Australia were reduced to ten men by injury to Nathan Lyon, who left&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5008],"tags":[23382,748,1406,393,4884,93,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-645868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"tag-ashes","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115756570198475017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
