The second Ashes<\/a> Test is finely placed \ufeffafter England<\/a> enjoyed perhaps its most dominant day of the series on day two. <\/p>\n

After Australia<\/a> began the day in a commanding position, England restricted the tourists to 416 before offering a strong response with the bat in hand. <\/p>\n

Ben Duckett led the way for the home side with 98, with England finishing the day on 4-278, 138 runs behind Australia's first innings total. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Lyon limps off<\/h3>\n

A bad day at the office was made worse for Australia when Nathan Lyon limped off the field in the final session.<\/p>\n

Lyon was stationed at the deep square leg position when he charged in to try and catch a ball off Ben Duckett's bat and immediately pulled up sore. <\/p>\n

The 35-year-old grabbed at his right calf and looked shattered when he was escorted off the ground by one of Australia's medical staff.<\/p>\n

Smith continues Ashes dominance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a pair of failures at Edgbaston, Steve Smith was well overdue for a big score at Lord's and did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

The former skipper brought up his 12th Ashes century early on day two and was sorely disappointed after he was dismissed shortly afterwards for 110.<\/p>\n

It was Smith's eighth century on English soil.<\/p>\n

Green cruelled by no ball issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cam Green provided Australia with a much-needed breakthrough in the final session but was left to rue what's become a bad habit.<\/p>\n

The young gun thought he'd taken two wickets in an over when Joe Root gloved one through to Alex Carey for just one.<\/p>\n

However, the England star was called back as replays showed Green had overstepped, leaving Australia shattered.<\/p>\n

"Ashes series can be defined by moments like that," Ricky Ponting said at the time.<\/p>\n

Luckily for Green and Australia, Root did not do too much more damage after being dismissed for just 10.<\/p>\n
