Anderson puts England in charge

James Anderson starred with bat and ball to put England firmly on top in the second npower Ashes Test at Lord's.

After a mini-collapse early in the morning session, Anderson and Graham Onions put on 47 for the last wicket to carry their side to carry their team to 425 all out.

Lancashire paceman Anderson then claimed three wickets either side of the rain showers in London as Australia were reduced to 111 for five and under threat of following on.

His third came in his first over back from the nursery end when Michael Clarke clipped straight to short midwicket.

It followed Andrew Flintoff's dismissal of Michael Hussey, bowled leaving a firebrand delivery which did not run down the slope as expected.

Graham Onions had prised out Simon Katich, caught at fine leg, at the start of the evening session to begin the trot of three wickets for eight runs.
