England lose two more wickets at tea against Australia

Jos Buttler and Alastair Cook lose their wickets to leave England on 285-7 at tea on day three of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

England have been reduced to 285-7 at tea on day three of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

Jos Buttler and Alastair Cook are the latest players to have lost their wickets, with the England captain going for 96.

The hosts must reach 367 if they want to avoid the follow-on.

Buttler's 13 off 26 deliveries included a trio of fours, but he was eventually caught by Peter Nevill off the bowling of Nathan Lyon.

With Moeen Ali now alongside him, Cook continued to battle away in the middle with dogged determination. However, his resistance was ended when Mitchell Marsh bowled him four runs short of his century.

Ali (38*) and Stuart Broad (5*) are currently at the crease for the Three Lions.
