London: Australia's bid to level the Ashes intensified as they dismissed England and then increased their lead to 362 after three days at Lord's on Saturday.
Australia's bid to level the Ashes intensified as they dismissed England and then increased their lead to 362 after three days of the second Test.
England resumed 481 adrift at 85-4 and Ben Stokes extended his stand with Alastair Cook to 145 before edging onto his stumps for 87 shortly before lunch.
Cook fell in similar fashion four short of his 28th Test hundred and England were all out for 312, a deficit of 254.
Australia chose not to enforce the follow on and calmly advanced to 108-0.
Opener David Warner took 71 balls to make his 16th Test fifty and reached 60, while first-innings double centurion Chris Rogers was on 44.
Earlier, England were dismissed for 312 in reply to Australia's first innings 566 for eight declared, a deficit of 254 runs, after tea.
Although England were 55 runs shy of avoiding the follow-on, Australia captain Michael Clarke decided against making them bat again.
Alastair Cook, the England captain, top-scored with 96 and added 145 for the fifth wicket with Ben Stokes (87) after his side had slumped to 30 for four on Friday.
Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Johnson took three for 53 and fellow quick Josh Hazlewood three for 68.
Stokes and Cook, who each made hundreds during England's last Test at Lord's, against New Zealand in May, both played on to medium-pacer Mitchell Marsh.
All-rounder Marsh, recalled after Shane Watson was dropped following England's 169-run win in the first Test in Cardiff last week, took two for 23.
England lead the five-match series 1-0, with Australia looking to win their first Ashes campaign in Britain in 14 years.
Of the 17 most recent Ashes series, 15 have been won by the team taking a 1-0 lead after the first Test.
The two exceptions were in 1997 when Australia lost at Edgbaston, but won the six-match series 3-2, and in 2005, when England were beaten at Lord's but won the five-Test series 2-1.
