England have reached 181-3 at tea on day three of the final Ashes Test at The Oval, trailing Australia by 311 runs.
After losing captain Alastair Cook during the morning session, the hosts recovered thanks to steady scoring from Joe Root and Jonathan Trott.
Nathan Lyon broke the partnership when Root top-edged a sweep to Shane Watson to dismiss the opener for 68.
Trott and Kevin Pietersen continued to add runs to the total until Trott was trapped LBW by Mitchell Starc just before tea.
Pietersen (29*) and Ian Bell (4*) will resume at the crease this evening.
