England managed to get the wicket of David Warner in the 13 overs they bowled at Australia on Day 2 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Thursday. Australia trail the hosts by 228 runs with nine wickets in hand. Earlier, England were dismissed for 258 by Australia in the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Thursday.

Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, the only change to the Australia side that won the first Test by 251 runs at Edgbaston last week, led the attack with three wickets for 58 runs from 22 overs. New-ball partner Pat Cummins took 3-61 from 21 while off-spinner Nathan Lyon equalled Australia pace great Dennis Lillee's tally of 355 Test wickets with a return of 3-68.

Ashes 2019 2nd Test Day 2 Match, Highlights Between England vs Australia, Straight from, Lord's Cricket Ground, London
Thank you for tuning in for our live coverage of the second Ashes Test. Do join us tomorrow as we bring you all the live updates from day three of the second Test.
David Warner and Cameron Bancroft have looked solid in the middle, right from the outset. They have been able to deal with Jofra Archer's extra pace and have managed to find some gaps too.
As the 2nd Ashes Test finally got underway on Day 2, after a washout on Wednesday, the momentum kept shifting. Although Australia are still in search of the final wicket, it will be safe to say that overall, the day belonged to the visitors.
Tea break at Lord's on day 2. It was another thrilling session where Australia picked up four wickets but England too crossed the 200 mark. The match is evenly poised at the moment. We will be back in 20 minutes with the final session.
Steve Smith is hitting the right line and lengths and he is making life difficult for England batsmen. Smith managed to find the outside edge of Chris Woakes' bat but the ball went into the gap.
Steve Smith has bowled a dream delivery. It was a googly and Jonny Bairstow failed to read it and was caught on the pads. Tim Paine went for a review but the replays show that the ball would've missed the off stump by some distance. Australia lose their second review.
Jonny Bairstow brings out the reverse sweep and hits it to the left of the fielder at point to get another boundary. That shot also brought a 50-run stand between Bairstow and Chris Woakes.
Jonny Bairstow opens the face of the bat and the ball takes a thick outside edge. To Josh Hazlewood's horror, the ball falls short of David Warner in the first slip.
So far, the second session of Day 2 has belonged to Australia. They have managed to claw back with 3 quick wickets. At one time, Joe Denly and Rory Burns were frustrating Australia with their fluent batting but the visitors made inroads to get back in to the game.
Excellent bowling change by Tim Paine. Peter Siddle comes in to the attack and strikes. On the other hand, Jos Buttler's lean patch in the series continues.
