LONDON : Australia's Steve Smith completed his 32nd century but England collected the remaining five wickets they needed to bowl the tourists out for 416 after 90 minutes of lively action on the second day of the second Ashes test at Lord’s on Thursday.

Captain Pat Cummins, who batted superbly to bring Australia home in the first test, again looked assured to end unbeaten on 22, but Nathan Lyon, his impressive partner at Edgbaston, could not resist hooking a short ball despite a field set precisely for his mis-hit and was duly caught for seven.
