Michael Clarke did not last long and was out for a low score when he hit Mark Wood straight to Gary Ballance at square leg. Australia are 383 for three with Adam Voges joining Steven Smith. Clarke did not look at his best and kept flirting with danger outside off. Just the ball before, he was hesitant to pull one and the next ball, he hit straight to the fielder and was out for a score of 7 in 32 balls. Earlier, Chris Rogers departed for a score of 173 when he inside edged a fuller length ball from Stuart Broad onto his stumps. Live cricket updates: England vs Australia, 2nd Test at Lord’s, Day 2
