- Second Test, day four: Australia 416 & 279, England 325 & 114-4
- England need 257 runs to win with six wickets left at Lord’s
Australia set England a formidable target of 371 to win the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, and took a flurry of early wickets to leave England mired on 114-4 at stumps, trailing by 256 runs.
The tourists even picked up a few runs from a limping Nathan Lyon, sent out to bat on one leg at No 11 to cap one of the Bazball era’s most bewildering days. The home side bowled relentless bumpers for more than four hours, with Australia bafflingly timid as they ate up time and queued up to gradually donate their wickets.
