    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>London, July 17- &nbsp;<\/strong>Australia opener Chris Rogers has revealed former skipper Steve Waugh&#39;s words of wisdom inspired him to score an unbeaten knock of 158 runs on the first day of the second Ashes Test here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Australia ended the first day&#39;s action at 337\/1 with Rogers and Steven Smith (129 not out) scoring fine centuries to put the visiting team in the driving seat at the Lord&#39;s cricket ground on Thursday. England won the first Test by 169 runs to lead the five-match series 1-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rogers said Waugh motivated him ahead of the match, reminding him of his impressive record at Lord&#39;s. Rogers plays for English county side Middlesex, who play their home matches at the famous ground, where he has scored several centuries earlier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Steve Waugh said to me this morning, &lsquo;This is your ground&rsquo;. So to go out and make it count was something to be very proud of,&quot; Rogers was quoted as saying by a sports website on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;I&rsquo;ve scored a hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, one at the Sydney Cricket Ground, so for me to get one at Lord&rsquo;s was kind of the trifecta. It&#39;s so special. I&rsquo;ve got so many friends here, so many great memories,&quot; said the 37-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 23.1111106872559px; text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;(IANS)<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
