BRISBANE (Reuters) - Australia coach Darren Lehmann has warned England that paceman Mitchell Johnson could fire again in the second Ashes test next week, even if the Adelaide Oval serves up a relatively docile surface.

Johnson was back to his brilliant, pacy best in the first test at the Gabba, claiming Man of the Match honours with a haul of 9-103 - including 5-42 in the second innings - to drive the hosts to a 381-run victory and a 1-0 series lead.
