Ben Duckett was awarded a dramatic late reprieve to keep England's hopes of an audacious chase alive at Lord’s and cap a remarkable day of cricket that saw Nathan Lyon book his place in Ashes folklore.
Australia are in pole position to secure victory in the second Ashes Test after their bowling attack ripped through England's top order at Lord's on Saturday.
England are likely facing a big run chase to win the second Ashes Test after Australia dominated the third day at Lord’s. England started the day with a chance to get close to Australia’s first-innings score of 416, but slumped from 278-4 to 325 all out. Ad Usman Khawaja (58*) led Australia's patient response as they ground down England’s attack to finish on 130-2, a lead of 221.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan lashed out at the Ben Stokes-led side for its poor batting performance against Australia in the second Ashes Test at Lord's in London. Pat Cummins-led Australia made a really good comeback on the third day of the game with England too helping their cause. The Three Lions resumed their first innings at 278 for 4 on Friday with the captain himself unbeaten on 17 and Harry Brook batting on 45 not out. However, they failed to capitalise, thanks to their poor intent and shot selection.
Legendary Australian cricketer Ian Healy is "worried" about some of his country's top bowlers conceding six-runs-per-over against England in the second Ashes Test at Lord's, and said Pat Cummins' side will have to work really hard to stop the home team's run flow. England came out all guns blazing after Australia seemed to have put themselves in a comfortable position at 416 in the first innings on Day 2 of the second Test. But Ben Stokes' side continued to play their aggressive brand of cricket -- called Bazball named after their New Zealand coach Brendon McCullum -- and managed 278/4 off just 61 overs at stumps on Thursday, scoring 4.55 runs per over.
LONDON :Openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner added 12 runs to extend Australia's lead to 103 by lunch on the third day of the second Ashes test at Lord's on Friday, with the visitors looking to set their hosts a big target on a grey day under floodlights.
ENG vs AUS, 2nd Ashes Test, Day 3 Live: England aim to close in on Australia's first innings total when they resume play on Day 3 at 278/4 at Lord's. At stumps, England trailed Australia by 138 runs with Harry Brook and Ben Stokes batting unbeaten on 45 and 17, respectively. On Day 2, Ben Duckett fell agonisingly close of scoring his third Test century after he was dismissed on 98 by Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, Steve Smith scored his 32nd century to power Australia to 416. Smith hit 110 while Travis Head continued his red hot form with a quickfire 77. (Live Scorecard)
Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon suffered an Ashes injury scare when he limped off with a calf problem during the second day of the second Test at Lord's. Lyon appeared to hold his calf muscle after running in from the boundary Thursday to field a shot from England's Ben Duckett. The 35-year-old slowly hobbled off the field and sat down for several minutes while a member of Australia's medical team checked his injury.
