LONDON: England battled to 96 for four in their second innings by the end of a dramatic fourth day at Lord's to lead Australia by 104 runs and leave the second Ashes test on a knife-edge on Saturday.

The fast bowler caught and bowled Roy for two and produced a superb outswinger which captain Root nicked to wicketkeeper Tim Paine. Archer, on his test debut, and Woakes beat the bat on several occasions but Smith, who made 144 and 142 in Australia's emphatic first test victory, again proved to be an immovable object.

Siddle made nine before he edged Woakes to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, bringing Smith back to the crease.
