With the Ashes urn, one would have expected Australia to be practising really hard. Instead they were playing a game of football to ease their nerves. Meanwhile, England are not taking it easy either.

England captain, Andrew Strauss, has stated that England would not be resting on their laurels from the second Test of the Ashes victory at Lord's and instead press for the series victory in the Ashes with a win at Headingley in the fourth Test.
Resting thoughts about whether England would be content to merely draw, Strauss has replied that the team would be looking to win the Test,and that alone would be the right attitude with which to approach the Test.
For Australia, it is a must win affair if they are to square the series before the fifth and final Test.
