David Warner’s spot might come beneath scrutiny for Old Trafford Test

But Marsh’s gorgeous century on the opening day, in his first Test for 4 years, has made him very robust to depart out which suggests another person should make method until they choose to not carry Green straight again in.

The highlight has once more returned to Warner after his twin failures at Headingley the place he twice edged Stuart Broad to slide from across the wicket, making it 17 instances he has now fallen to Broad.

However, that adopted some helpful contributions earlier within the sequence, led by the 66 on the opening day at Lord’s in difficult batting circumstances, though he was dropped within the slips on 20. His total Test common since 2021 stays 28.17 and that features the double century in opposition to South Africa on the SCG.

“You keep all options open,” Cummins stated. “We’ve got nine or 10 days now, so we’ll take a deep breath. We’ll go away for a few days.

“But everybody comes again into it. Greeny needs to be match for Manchester. Josh [Hazlewood] will probably be again in there as effectively. So we should always have a full roster and we’ll take a look on the wicket and have a chat and work out the most effective XI.”

Marsh’s third Test century, all of which have been against England, came from 102 balls while he also chipped in with a couple of wickets.

Cummins conceded he would be difficult to omit. “Yeah, it is attainable however, I imply, it was a fairly spectacular week, wasn’t it?” he said.

Warner has mapped out his retirement plan, announcing earlier in the tour that he hoped to finish against Pakistan on his home ground of the SCG in January. Prior to that, the original Ashes squad was only selected up to the end of the Lord’s Test which raised further questions over Warner, but he did enough in the early matches to dampen talk somewhat.

The situation Australia now find themselves in is not dissimilar to what happened on the 2019 tour when Marnus Labuschagne performed so well as Steven Smith’s temporary replacement that someone else had to make way for Smith’s return. On that occasion the fall guy was Usman Khawaja.

Meanwhile, Cummins indicated that he remained on track to play all six Tests on the tour which he had stated as his aim before the World Test Championship final against India. He is the only Australian quick to play all four matches to date. England have had Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson in all three of their attacks, but the latter is now under an injury cloud after suffering back spasms at Headingley.

“I really feel nice, really, in all probability higher than I might have hoped,” Cummins said. “I haven’t got any niggles or accidents. So fingers crossed, needs to be candy.”

Elsewhere in the squad, Michael Neser has been released to play the next round of County Championship matches for Glamorgan while Josh Inglis, who flew home after Edgbaston for the birth of his child, will return on Friday. Jimmy Peirson filled in for him as reserve wicketkeeper.

Australia’s players will break up for a few days and make use of the longer gap between these two Tests before beginning preparations for Old Trafford – the venue where they were able to retain the Ashes in 2019.

Cummins gave a succinct response when asked if he felt England’s win would shift the momentum in the series. “No, not likely. It’s 2-1.”
