Former England captain Sir Ian Botham has tipped Australia to struggle in the second Ashes Test at Lord's.
The tourists are currently 1-0 down in the five-match series after suffering a 169-run defeat in Cardiff.
Botham believes that Australia will raise their game for the second Test when it gets underway tomorrow, but the 59-year-old also expects England to build on their triumph in the Welsh capital.
"[Australia] will be licking their wounds and putting that performance in Cardiff behind them as soon as possible, if not already, and try to put things right but I think they are going to struggle to put things right," he told Sky Sports News.
"Australia don't look at things in a negative way and they will be looking to bounce back. Teams who play at Lord's tend to raise their game and no doubt they'll be determined to square the series.
"But England have performed well at Lord's recently, they have real momentum after the win in Cardiff and I expect them to carry that into this match."
England captain Alastair Cook revealed on Wednesday that he expects Moeen Ali to feature in the second Test following reports that he could miss out through injury.
