Victorian offspinner Todd Murphy, who has played seven Tests including two in the 2023 Ashes as Lyon's replacement, has bowled well in Sheffield Shield cricket this summer and was Australia A's specialist spinner in the recent game against England Lions in Brisbane, taking three wickets.

Lyon evoked memories of his calf injury at Lord's in 2023 when he made a diving stop on the fine-leg boundary on Sunday and then pulled up lame, clutching at the top part of his right leg. The 38-year-old immediately limped off the ground as a team physiotherapist attended to him.

There are fears Nathan Lyon will miss the remainder of the Ashes series after the veteran hobbled off with a hamstring concern during Day 5 of the third Ashes Test. After ripping the heart out of England on Day 4, Lyon immediately felt for the top of his right hamstring after diving to field a ball on the fine-leg boundary on Sunday.
