The paceman was rested for the match against Derbyshire immediately after the Headingley Test, which Australia won by an innings.[1][2] Lindwall returned for the match against Glamorgan and took 2/36 in a rain-affected draw that did not reach the second innings.[11] In the next match against Warwickshire, he claimed 3/27 in the first innings, taking three consecutive middle-order wickets—including Test batsmen Tom Dollery and Abdul Hafeez Kardar—in the space of 12 balls as the hosts fell for 138.[102][103] In reply, Australia stumbled to 6/161 when Lindwall joined Hassett. The pair put on 70 for the seventh wicket, the largest partnership in a low-scoring match. Lindwall ended with 45, the second highest score for the entire match, as Australia took a 116-run lead.
