If I was a bowler. I don't think I'm out of it on this pitch. Swing and seam diminishing but there is bounce to catch an edge and Lyon got one to turn and bounce in first over.

Much more bounce than I thought this pitch would give.. and I think the ball will nip through out the innings.

If Lyon could just stick outside off for the over we might eventually get something (such as Wade dropping a catch).

His trajectory is so flat compared to what I remember when he had a bit more success, he also just doesn't have any variation.
He's bowled even quicker in this match than the last two. Over 90 most of the time. I don't see him deceiving the batsmen unless he can pull the pace back a bit.
As for the lack of variation, he's never been great at that, frustratingly.
