LONDON :Australia were all out for 279 as England fought back on an attritional fourth day of relentless short-pitched bowling in the second test at Lord's on Saturday.If achieved, it would be the highest successful fourth innings run chase ever in a Lord's test, beating the 342 West Indies hunted down to beat England in 1984.
Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith looked set as they moved the lead towards 300 in the morning session but they were out for 77 and 34 respectively, both playing rash shots. Australia's scoring rate dried up to a trickle in the afternoon as England's 'Bazball' tactics turned into snooze ball as they fired down bouncer after bouncer to a leg side field.
Australia's innings ended in farcical fashion with injured spinner Nathan Lyon coming out to bat despite being unable to run after injuring his calf on Thursday.
