Good day for Aussies at Lord's

6:46 am on 15 July 2010

The Australian cricketers have taken charge of their first test against Pakistan at Lord's after dismissing Pakistan for 148 in their first innings.

The Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, primarily an opening batsman these days, took a career best 5 wickets for 40 with his medium pacers to earn a place on the Lord's honours board.

Australia ended the second day on 100 for 4, an overall lead of 205 runs.
