Nathan Lyon expressed sympathy with fellow spinner Moeen Ali, who faces the prospect of bowling crucial spells on the final day of the first Ashes Test with a badly blistered finger, likening the situation to “a singer losing their vocals”.
Moeen, who has returned to the Test side after a hiatus of almost two years, opened up a wound on his right index finger on the second day at Edgbaston and has had to leave the field on multiple occasions since to receive treatment for it.
