Ashes 2019: England reduce Australia to 80/4 at lunch on Day 3

By Saurabh Sharma August 16, 2019 • 18:42 PM View: 2579

London, Aug 16: England made the most of the seam-friendly conditions to dent Australia's top-order and leave them stuttering at 80/4 at lunch on Day 3 of the rain-affected second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's on Thursday.

Steve Smith, whose twin tons helped the Aussies script a memorable 251-run victory in the first rubber at Edgbaston, remained at the crease on 13 off 40 balls (2x4) as other batsmen fell around him.
