The 32-year-old is yet to feature in the Ashes series after suffering a side strain injury in the four-day warm-up game against the Lions at the start of July.

Lee's absence from the Australia team means he is unlikely to force his way into the squad at the Brit Oval, however, he at least reminded the selectors' of his worth by taking two wickets as the Lions stuttered to 74 for three at lunch.

Lee struck in his first over of the day when Joe Sayers edged through to wicketkeeper Chris 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.
