This year's Ashes series will be a "great contest", according to Australia coach Darren Lehmann.

Australia coach Darren Lehmann has revealed that he anticipates a "great" Ashes series this summer.

The tourists haven't won in England since 2001, but enter this series as the favourites to retain the urn, which they clinched when they won the last series 5-0.

Lehmann told Sky Sports News: "They're a good side at home, so we need to play well. They played well last time which was only two years ago. That was a tight series, they won it 3-0, I thought it was tighter than that.

"We've learned a lot from that last tour and we've started to play some really good cricket so it's going to be a great contest."

The first Test gets underway in Cardiff on July 8.
