After an extraordinary few days in the dramatic second Ashes Test at Lord’s over the weekend — which featured new England fast bowling superstar Jofra Archer in an immense battle with Australia’s “best since Bradman” batsman Steve Smith — the match ended in a draw, with England unable to bowl Australia out.

The third Test in the series kicks off in just three days’ time, so please forgive this author for any egregious bleary-eyed mistakes in the lunchtime wrap.

Both the ASX small ords and the ASX 200 had a great start to the week, the former up 0.41 per cent to 2,779 points while the latter was up 0.9 per cent to 6,463 points.
