AGGRESSIVE offspin bowling from Graeme Swann and indifferent Australian batting allowed England to seize control of the second Ashes Test at Lord's yesterday.
At tea on the second day yesterday, Australia had struggled to 96 for seven in reply to England's 361 all out with each of the Australian batsmen contributing to their dismissals.
Shane Watson once again flattered to deceive, hitting six confident boundaries to reach 30 when he was LBW planting his left pad down the pitch to Tim Bresnan. He reviewed the decision but the replay showed the ball was heading for the stumps.
His opening partner Ed Rogers (15) appeared to lose sight of a Swann full toss and was also given out LBW. Phillip Hughes (1) played a loose drive to Bresnan and was given out caught behind by Matt Prior.
Usman Khawaja, coming in for the out-of-form Ed Cowan, was no improvement, lofting a weak shot off Swann to Kevin Pietersen at mid-off and departing for 14.
Earlier, England's Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann frustrated Australia by adding 48 runs for the last wicket. Ryan Harris led Australia's attack in fine style with five wickets for 72 runs in 26 overs.
England resumed on 289 for seven after Ian Bell's 109 rescued the home side from the depths of 28 for three.
