There hasn't been too much time for England to celebrate their memorable triumph over Australia in the 1st Test. The squad has met up ahead of the start of the 2nd Test at Lords on Thursday and Alastair Cook has hinted there may be changes to the team despite the win. Steven Finn looks the man most likely to make way should there be any alteration. The pace bowler was off-key in the 2nd innings at Trent Bridge, failing to take a wicket and conceding 37 runs in his 10 overs, with Brad Haddin noticeably going after Finn, scoring three back-to-back boundaries in one over. However Lords is Finn's home ground and Cook admits the selectors have a decision to make. England are 5/6 to win the 2nd Test with William Hill. Sign up now for a FREE £25 bet. New Customers Only.

June's inflation figure of 2.9% saw a 0.2% increase on the figure in May, but the latest rise was still below analysts' expectations.

Alastair Cook says his side have become accustomed to being favourites against Australia in recent years and are comfortable carrying the tag. The England captain has been speaking on the eve of the First Test of the 2013 Ashes at Trent Bridge and believes his side have proved they are more than a match for Australia, who's tour so far has been blighted by controversy following the sacking of coach Mickey Arthur and David Warner's ICC Champions Trophy ban for an altercation with England opener Joe Root. England are 8/11 to win the First Test & 1/3 to win the series with William Hill. To find the latest odds & claim a FREE £25 BET visit - http://bit.ly/13jZVJA - T's & C's apply. New customers only.

Michael Clarke says the players have the utmost respect for each other going in to the 2013 Ashes series.

Clarke revealed the Australians know their starting XI for the Trent Bridge Test but won't reveal it to the rest before he has to, and admits he's relieved at England's omission of Nick Compton in favour of Joe Root at the top of the order.
