A Nathan Lyon-less Australia extended their lead to 103 runs after bowling out England for 325 on the third morning Friday of the second Ashes 2023 test at Lord's. Usman Khawaja and David Warner drove Australia to safety at lunch at 12 without loss from six overs of its second innings. They had 6 and 5 respectively.

Lyon injured his right calf running in the field after tea on Thursday, and Cricket Australia confirmed its frontline spinner suffered a 'significant' strain. He came to Lord's on crutches. Whether he returns in the five-match series will be determined after the match, where Australia is trying to go up 2-0.
