'England say they won't be happy with draw. If I'm Australia...': Ponting's cold-blooded advice for Cummins and co.

Hindustan Times  

Australia dominated the proceedings on Day 3 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's, with England facing significant criticism from fans and former cricketers alike. The hosts faced a disappointing batting collapse during the opening session of the third day; starting the proceedings at 278/4, England lost their six wickets inside merely 47 runs, a collapse that didn't sit well with many of the side's greats like Geoffrey Boycott and Michael Vaughan. With a lead of 221 runs so far, the visitors will be aiming to put England on backfoot on Day 4 and former Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting has advised Pat Cummins and co. on how they can eliminate the hosts' chances to clinch an unlikely victory. England's aggressive approach came under significant scanner as most of their batters gave their wickets away rather cheaply in the first innings of the Lord's Test.
