England opening batsman Adam Lyth has insisted that he will continue to play to his strengths throughout the Ashes series with Australia.
Lyth made scores of six and 37 during England's 169-run win in Cardiff, but despite the prospect of playing on a faster pitch at Lord's, the left-hander has revealed that he has no intention of changing his style of play.
The 27-year-old told reporters: "I've just got to play my way and if it's there to be hit, I will hit it and if it's a decent ball, I will leave or defend it.
"You have to play to your strengths. I'm an attacking batsman but I respect the conditions and the bowling. I've played here at Lord's quite a bit so fingers crossed I will get some runs this week."
Lyth has been named in an unchanged squad for the match in North London, which begins on Thursday.
