Veteran fast bowler James Anderson on Saturday vowed England would be “more positive, more aggressive, more entertaining” when they look to level the Ashes series at Lord’s next week. 

Australia won the opening Test at Edgbaston by two wickets after England skipper Ben Stokes had declared his team’s first innings at 393 for eight. Some critics said that the decision allowed Australia to keep a foot in the door of the match which they then gratefully exploited. “I think we’ll go more positive, more aggressive, more entertaining,” said 40-year-old Anderson who endured a tough first Test in which he took just one wicket.
