Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon will miss the rest of the Ashes series against England with the calf injury he sustained in the second Test at Lord’s.

Lyon, who has 496 Test wickets, suffered the issue on day two of the encounter.

The 35-year-old’s absence was confirmed as Australia left him out of their squad for the remaining three Tests because of a “significant calf tear”.

According to BBC Sports Batter Matthew Renshaw has also been omitted from the Australia squad.

Australia lead the series 2-0 having won by 43 runs at Lord’s and by two wickets in the first Test at Edgbaston.
