Australia have lost six wickets during the afternoon session as they attempt to chase down England's first innings total of 361 runs in the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

Having bowled England out earlier in the day, Australia began their innings steadily with openers Shane Watson and Chris Rogers putting on 42 for the opening wicket, until the former was dismissed LBW by Tim Bresnan just before lunch.

Rogers went shortly after the restart, given out LBW when a full toss from Graeme Swann hit the batsman in his midriff.

Phil Hughes was caught behind by Matt Prior off Bresnan, before Swann took the wickets of Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith.

Michael Clarke followed Smith back to the pavilion soon after when he was dismissed LBW by Stuart Broad to leave Australia reeling on 91-6.

Agar scored two before becoming the seventh Aussie wicket to fall after being run out by Prior.

Brad Haddin (2*) and Peter Siddle (0*) took the tourists to 96-7 at tea, needing 66 more runs to avoid the follow-on.
