England spinner Moeen Ali doubtful for second Ashes Test?

England spin bowler Moeen Ali is reportedly a doubt for the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's due to a side injury.

The hosts currently lead the five-match series 1-0 following their comprehensive victory over the Baggy Greens in the first Test in Cardiff.

Ali took five Australian wickets and scored 92 with the bat in the match at the SWALEC Stadium to help England to a 169-run win.

According to BBC Sport, England are closely monitoring the 27-year-old's fitness ahead of the second Test.

The coaching staff were said to be hopeful of Ali bowling at Lord's in the build-up to the match, although poor weather has disrupted preparations.

Adil Rashid will come into the side if Ali is ruled out.
