Australia, who started the day on 156 for eight in reply to England's 425, were dismissed in the morning session for 215.



England struggled to impose themselves on the Australian bowlers during the third day of the second Ashes test at Lord's on Saturday after opting to bat again rather than enforce the follow-on.


Australia, who started the day on 156 for eight in reply to England's 425, were dismissed in the morning session for 215.




At tea England were 130 for two, an overall lead of 340, following a slow post-lunch period during which both Ravi Bopara (19 not out) and Kevin Pietersen (28 not out) were restricted by thoughtful pace bowling


Off-spinner Nathan Hauritz dismissed Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss for identical scores of 32 in eight balls after the England openers had put on 61 from 56 balls.
