The Ashes is now in full swing with the first of the five Test series between England and Australia done and dusted and attention turning to the second.

Thanks to some relatively impressive performances against New Zealand before things started, England fans had a sense of hope. That's turned into a full on belief that the hosts can now win the series thanks to victory in Cardiff in the first Test.

Still, England must be cautious having been handed a humiliating 5-0 whitewash in the last Ashes series in 2013/14.

The second Test begins on Thursday 16 July and will be staged at the 'home' of cricket, Lord's. For full details of every Test see below.
