There are some keen cricket fans within the Lions squad who stayed up late to watch England’s compelling final-day win at Headingley, but out on the training pitch the collective priority is not so much Bazball as its oval-shaped cousin, Fazball.Andy Farrell, the Lions head coach, has been at pains since his squad’s arrival here to make two things clear.
