Australia left-arm bowler Mitchell Starc has warned England that they will continue to bowl hostile, short deliveries in the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston this week.
The world number one side levelled the series with a dominant win at Lord's two weeks ago, as Mitchell Johnson's fast bowling caused England problems.
The home side have been accused of preparing pitches to nullify Australia's pace, but Starc insists that his side can play well on any type of surface.
Starc is quoted as saying by The Guardian: "They're not really sure what they want to do now. Some of their team want batting-friendly wickets and that hasn't helped them at Lord's. They want to get their bowlers back in the game but we've got the pace as well. It doesn't matter what they dish up. We've got all bases covered.
"I am sure we will be following suit from what Mitch dished up at the end at Lord's. It is great to see a few of the guys jumping about and we got a few wickets that way. To take 20 wickets on what was described by a few as pretty slow and dead was a good effort from all the bowlers.
"We have got extra pace on our side. Hopefully there is a bit of pace in this wicket and it is a bit harder than the other ones we have played on. The short stuff will definitely be on the menu."
Starc has taken nine wickets in the series so far.
