England in control on day three at Lord's against Australia

England have opened up a 347-run lead on day three of the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's.

The hosts started the day 264 runs ahead on 31-3 and ended Saturday's opening session on 114 for the loss of no further wickets.

Joe Root and Tim Bresnan resumed at the crease and were rarely troubled by the Aussie bowlers, as the former confidently made his way to 50 before eventually reaching 63.

Meanwhile, Bresnan will start out in the middle after the break with 32 runs to his name.
