Ashes 2015: Australia favourites - England captain Alastair Cook

Ashes 2015: Australia still favourites says Alastair Cook

England v Australia, Second Test

Venue: Lord's Dates: 16-20 July

Coverage: Ball-by-ball Test Match Special commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, Radio 4 LW, online, tablets, mobiles and BBC Sport app; live text commentary on the BBC Sport website

England captain Alastair Cook says Australia remain favourites to claim the Ashes despite his side's superb first-Test victory in Cardiff.

Cook's side carry a 1-0 lead into the second Test at Lord's on Thursday, after last week's 169-run victory.

But Cook said: "Australia are still probably favourites, they've only got to retain, I suppose.

"But series are not played on paper, it's what people deliver. And it's always nice to be underdogs isn't it">
