WF vs LS Players to Watch

Olly Stone

Olly Stone is an important piece of the English Cricket puzzle. A pacer who can hit the deck hard, England will be hoping he gets through the Hundred well as his workload is a massive concern given his fitness. If he manages to prove his durability he will definitely be an important part of the Ashes.

Steve Smith

Steve Smith takes on David Warner. He started the first game well but will be knowing that he needs to bat longer if he wants to ensure he makes some noise while also maintaining a brisk scoring rate.

WF vs LS Match Tips

Welsh are likely to start favorites after their strong finish last season.
