A pick of the action from the day three of the second Ashes Test at Lord's

Alastair Cook was denied a maiden Ashes ton on home soil before seeing Australia extend their lead to 362 on day three at Lord's.

Cook (96) chopped Mitchell Marsh onto his stumps prior to tea - a fate that also befell Ben Stokes (87) earlier in the day - as England were dismissed for 312, Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood nabbing three wickets apiece.

That left the home side with a first-innings deficit of 254, a total Australia increased significantly by stumps with openers David Warner (60no) and Chris Rogers (44no) - who, apparently, are not best buddies - taking the tourists to 108-0.

See how the Baggy Greens seized further control of the second Test - just days after they were walloped by 169 runs in the first in Cardiff - by watching the video above.
