Australia coach Darren Lehmann has admitted that he has a "tight" decision to make between Shane Watson and Mitchell Marsh for the first Ashes Test next week.
The duo are expected to fight it out for the number six all-rounder position, and both impressed in Australia's convincing warm-up win over Kent.
Marsh smashed a century in the second innings, while Watson also weighed in with 81, but Lehmann hinted that their bowling is likely to be decisive.
He said at a press conference: "It's going to be tight, isn't it. I thought Marsh was exceptional in the innings as was Shane Watson to be perfectly honest. We need Watto bowling and he'll definitely bowl in the next tour game so that's going to be a key for us as well. So both pushed their claims really well."
The first Test gets underway in Cardiff on July 8.
