Ashes: Australia takes huge lead

Australia are firmly in control of the proceedings against England on Day 3 of the ongoing 2nd Ashes Test at Lord’s. Rain forced early Stumps to Day 3 but by then Australia’s lead had already gone past the 220-mark. The visitors bundled out the hosts on 325 to take a 91-run first innings lead. On Day 2, Ben Duckett fell agonisingly close of scoring his third Test century after he was dismissed on 98 by Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, Steve Smith scored his 32nd century to power Australia to 416. Smith hit 110 while Travis Head continued his red hot form with a quickfire 77.
