Ashes 2023, 2nd Test: Pat Cummins told me not to bat with injured calf, says Nathan Lyon

Captain Pat Cummins advised Nathan Lyon not to bat with a significant calf strain on day four of the ongoing second Ashes Test at Lord's, but the Australian spinner found the courage to put on a heroic display in order to support his teammates and hopped into the middle as No. 11.

Lyon, who is playing his 100th consecutive Test, hurt his right calf while attempting a catch on the second day of Lord's Test. But despite the injury, he managed to contribute 4 runs to Australia's total in a last-wicket stand of 15, extending the visitors' lead to 370 runs.
