Hauritz tames England Lions

Hauritz, expected to replace seamer Stuart Clark for the fifth npower Test, had only bowled three overs before lunch but his workload increased once play resumed.

The New South Welshman plundered two wickets in successive balls, the first seeing Andrew Gale fall on 31, caught by Shane Watson. A delivery later Worcestershire's Steve Davies was out for a duck with Ricky Ponting producing the catch at slip.

Struggling on 111 for five, the Lions then saw Brett Lee return to the attack, but at the other end they were able to take runs from Hauritz's bowling.

Jamie Dalrymple hit successive boundaries and continued to score freely, but his innings finally came to an end on the final ball before tea when he edged Peter Siddle to wicketkeeper Chris Hartley. Dalrymple hit 58 from 122 balls, including seven fours, to offer some resistance.

Hauritz had taken over as Australia's most dangerous bowler after Lee had struck in his first over of the day when Joe Sayers edged through to Hartley.

It ended a painstaking 40-ball innings from the Yorkshireman that yielded just four runs.

With his tail up Lee continued to bowl at pace, although he was indebted to a fine one-handed diving catch from Simon Katich to remove Stephen Moore for 30.

Moore, who made a century when the teams met at Worcester, forcefully drove off the back foot only to see Katich latch on to a fine catch, diving to his left at backward point.

The Lions were then reduced to 57 for three when Mitchell Johnson induced an edge from Michael Carberry (five) through to Hartley.
