Lee shines for Australia

The two-day match was awarded to Australia on first-innings score after England were bowled out for 237 in response to the tourists' 340.

Lee, yet to feature in the series due to injury, is unlikely to figure in the decider at The Oval but that did not prevent him finishing with three for 37.

Spinner Nathan Hauritz took 2-43 and is likely to force his way into Australia's team for the final Test at the expense of Stuart Clark.

Glamorgan's Jamie Dalrymple was the pick of the Lions' batsmen with 58 off 122 balls.

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.

Shortly after lunch Hauritz 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.

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.

Plunkett helped himself to 34 before being bowled by Lee and Katich mopped up Gary Keedy to conclude the match.
