England takes 3 wickets but Australia leads by 313 on fourth morning at Lord's -
Overnight batters Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, followed by Travis Head, were dismissed in a half-hour period after drinks. By lunch, Australia was 222-5 in its second innings and leading by a solid 313 runs.The bowlers resorted to the short ball to try and break up Khawaja and Smith, who were cruising and unconcerned. They took Australia from 130-2 overnight to 187.The batters resisted the temptation to pull and hook until the first over after drinks, also Stuart Broad’s first over of the day.
But on the next ball, Smith steered Tongue straight to Zak Crawley at deep backward square. Smith doubled over before the catch, knowing he’d made a bad choice on 34. The catch gave Root the most in England’s test history. His 176th catch left behind a tie with Alastair Cook. Compared to the second hour, the first hour at Lord’s had all the tension of a village cricket match.
