Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson warns England that he will unleash short-pitched deliveries during the Ashes series next month.

Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson has warned England to expect a number of short-pitched attacks from him when The Ashes gets underway.

England will try to win back the urn next month on home soil following last year's 5-0 whitewash Down Under.

Johnson impressed by taking 37 wickets in the last series, and the 33-year-old intends to dominate England's batsmen this time around.

"I like to bowl a bouncer - that is pretty obvious, and the pace seemed to trouble them in Australia," The Express quotes Johnson as saying.

"As a fast bowler you try to intimidate sometimes on faster wickets and bowl the ball above 90mph - it definitely helps to have that behind you to intimidate.

"There are going to be times where it is not going to work as well as I would like but I will still give it a crack."

The first Ashes Test gets underway in Cardiff on July 8.
