Lords/London, England (GenevaLunch) – It was a great second day for England at the Lords Test, despite an awful start to the day. Andrew Strauss left the second ball from Ben Hilfenhaus, only to see it hit his off stump. Swann and Broad fell in the next two overs but Anderson and Onions staged a 47 run stand for the last wicket to leave England on 425, and Australia frustrated.
Things got worse for the Aussies as they lost two wickets in the first six overs, including captain Ricky Ponting to a dodgy decision by umpire Rudi Koertzen.
London, England (GenevaLunch) – England sent the World Champion Indian team back early when they beat them by three runs at Lords. India won the toss and put England in to bat.

England slipped from 121 for 3 to 153 f0r 7 in their twenty overs, a total that the Indian batsmen would normally expect to reach without much difficulty.
