Ashes 2013 Live Stream: Watch Free Online Second Test Match, Day Three Between England and Australia From Lord's

Jul 20, 2013 05:24 AM EDT

Australia's batting woes continued as Graeme Swann spun a web around the opposition batsmen to put England in pole position after the second day of the second Test at Lord's Friday.

Swann picked up a five-for, bamboozling the Australian batsman on a dry pitch as the visitors were bowled out for 128.

England, who had a lead of 233, chose not to enforce the follow-on, before losing three wickets of their own to finish the day on 31 for three.

"It's very pleasing from an individual perspective," Swann said.

"I'm up on the honours board once before from a game against Pakistan, to get it up there in an Ashes game is like a boyhood dream.

"The first two or three overs I bowled I didn't have much feeling in my hand. (I had) a few grip issues because of the blow on my arm.

"But they disappeared as soon as I got my second wicket when I realised it was going quite well and my luck might be in after the (Chris) Rogers dismissal."

Rogers was given lbw after being hit in the midriff off a full toss. The Australian opener failed to review the dismissal - something that coach Darren Lehmann acknowledges the team did not get right.

"The referrals certainly could have been better," Lehmann said. "'Buckie' Rogers got that wrong with Shane (Watson) -- he told him to take it.

"Then he should have used one on himself, but he probably didn't want to after wasting one. As long as they learn from it, that's the thing.

"We've certainly got the bowling side of it right, with the referrals. The big thing for us is making more runs. It's simple.

"You've always got a chance," he added. "It's a funny game, cricket -- I've seen big totals chased down, and it is a good wicket. It's certainly not a 128 wicket."
