That will be lunch. Australia will be very satisfied with that session, taking six wickets, but England have got themselves to 300. Should have been more, but it's something to work with. They will rue the fifties not being converted. Lyon was again outstanding and got his reward for some lovely bowling. For some lunchtime reading, here's Jarrod Kimber's feature on Australia's desire for pace. We'll be back at 12.50pm for the second session.
