Australia ran through the English batting order on day 4 of the Lord’s Test to win the match by a massive 405 runs and level the five game series 1-1.

After setting the hosts 509 for victory, the Australian pace attack carved through the top order to leave England in tatters on 64 for five at tea on the fourth day.

The touring side had declared on 254 for two after piling up 146 runs in the morning at the home of cricket.

The only concern for Australia was the retirement of Chris Rogers on 49 after the opening batsman suffered a dizzy spell.

The left-hander had added five runs to his overnight score when he signalled to the dressing-room that he was feeling unwell and, looking groggy, he was led off the field by medical staff.

It did little to disrupt the momentum of the Australians, however, as David Warner and Steve Smith made hay in the sunshine.

Warner struck 12 fours and was closing in on a century when he was well caught at short cover by Cook off spinner Moeen.

Smith, who made 215 in the first innings, plundered 58 off 48 balls including nine boundaries to continue his remarkable run of form.

Michael Clarke (32 not out) and Mitchell Marsh (27 not out) lashed a few more boundaries before the declaration.

The third test at Edgbaston starts on July 29.
