England take a late wicket in the morning session as Tim Bresnan dismisses Shane Watson before the lunch break.

Australia made a steady start to their first innings in the second Ashes Test match at Lord's in the first session of day two, before Tim Bresnan struck in the final over of the session.

The morning started well for the Aussies as they quickly took the wickets of Bresnan and James Anderson, both caught behind by Brad Haddin off Ryan Harris.

However a final-wicket stand between Stuart Broad (33) and Graeme Swann (28*) took England to 361.

Australia's innings started with a couple of early appeals to Shane Watson, before he and Chris Rogers settled and kept the score ticking over.

While Rogers was patient, Watson looked to play shots and moved on to 30 before being dismissed LBW right before the interval, leaving Australia on 42-1.
