    "editor1": "<p><strong>Ashes 2023<\/strong>: Former captain Nasser Hussain said that in order to stage a comeback in the ongoing Ashes series, England must demonstrate increased strategic sharpness and a greater level of ruthlessness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England slumped to their second defeat in the ongoing Ashes after suffering a 43-run loss despite captain Ben Stokes&#39; stunning 155-run in the second Test at Lord&#39;s on Sunday and fell 0-2 in the five-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It took a monumental bowling effort from Australia, without Nathan Lyon, to stop a rampaging Stokes in a riveting day of Test match cricket at Lord&#39;s on day five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hussain said that England could draw inspiration from Stokes&#39;s approach and adopt a ruthless mentality in their gameplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think England can continue on the road they have been going on, but smarten up a bit and be ruthless. Some of the batting when they were 188-1, be a bit more ruthless. Stokes was ruthless in both innings,&quot; Hussain was quoted as saying on Sky Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Stokes expressed that England&#39;s intention is to entertain the cricket world, however, Hussain emphasized the significance of achieving favorable results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think England have believed the hype a little bit and gone away from what made them successful. This is a little wake-up call. I&#39;ve heard &#39;results aren&#39;t important, we are here to entertain&#39; but results are important,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>\r\nEngland will look to avenge their losses with the third Test of the series set to get underway on July 7 at Headingley in Leeds.<\/p>\r\n",
