Australia spinner Nathan Lyon rips through England to hand Australia Ashes advantage
BIRMINGHAM, England - Australia spinner Nathan Lyon ripped through England’s batting line-up as the hosts lost the first Ashes test by 251 runs after being bowled out for 146 in their second innings on Monday.
Fellow opener Jason Roy looked in good shape until he was bowled when coming down the pitch. Joe Denly and England captain Joe Root , who survived two earlier reviews, were also out before lunch. Umpire Joel Wilson’s poor test continued after Root was twice saved on review. In total, eight of the official’s on-field decisions were overturned during the test.Lyon then got his first wicket of the day as he enticed a wild swing from Roy, who missed the ball completely.
Jonny Bairstow was caught for six after he hit a bizarre shot which flicked off his glove and into the hands of Bancroft at third slip. Ben Stokes was out next ball — Lyon’s 350th test match victim.
