England lose Joe Root, lead by 157 runs at lunch on Day 3

London, Sep 14: Captain Joe Root was dismissed just before lunch to give Australia a boost but hosts England still hold a slender edge with their lead extending to 157 runs on Day 3 of the final Ashes Test at The Oval on Saturday.

In what was another session of graft for the batsmen, Root looked solid with opener Joe Denly as they shared a 33-run stand for the second wicket. However, the England skipper fell just two overs before the end of the first session as he edged Nathan Lyon to Steve Smith at slips.
