Australia 416 (Smith 110, Head 77, Warner 66, Tongue 3-98, Robinson 3-100) and 130 for 2 (Khawaja 58*) lead England 325 (Duckett 98, Brook 50, Starc 3-88, Head 2-17, Hazlewood 2-71) by 221 runs
London: England's hopes in the second Test and the Ashes hang by a thread following an awful third day against Australia at Lord's.
After captain Ben Stokes was out to the second ball of the morning, England repeated their reckless batting of the second evening to lose their last six wickets for 46 runs.
Harry Brook was the latest to fall to the short ball, out for 50, and Jonny Bairstow was guilty of a poor stroke.
With the tail unable to provide any resistance to Australia's rampant pace bowlers, England were all out for 325, giving the tourists a first-innings lead of 91.
Despite England's bowlers doing everything they could to exploit gloomy, moist conditions, Usman Khawaja built Australia's advantage with a composed unbeaten 58.
Khawaja, dropped by James Anderson on 19, added 63 with David Warner and another 60 with Marnus Labuschagne.
When rain and bad light arrived just after 17:00 BST, Australia had moved to 130-2, leading by 221.
England are not completely out of the contest but will have to be close to perfect from now on. Only one team in Ashes history has ever come from 2-0 down to lift the urn.
