Nathan Lyon keeps Australia in-game

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, June 19 (AFP): Nathan Lyon took the key wickets of England's Joe Root and Harry Brook on the fourth day of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, with both batsmen falling just short of half-centuries.
England were 155-5 in their second innings at lunch on Monday, a lead of 162 runs.
Root, who made an unbeaten 118 in England's first innings 393-8 declared, fell for 46 when he attempted to charge Lyon but he missed the ball and was stumped by Alex Carey.
And the experienced off-spinner, nearing 500 Test wickets, had Brook caught for the same score by a diving Marnus Labuschagne at midwicket, on his way to figures of 2-34 in nine overs.
It appeared the match had firmly tilted Australia's way when Jonny Bairstow, who made a run-a-ball 78 in England's first innings, was given out lbw for just one to Scott Boland just before lunch. But England's review revealed the ball would have cleared leg stump and Bairstow survived, with skipper Ben Stokes 13 not out.
