ADELAIDE, Australia — Nathan Lyon took two wickets in his first over to move past Glenn McGrath for second place on Australia's all-time bowling list and have England in trouble at 59 for three at lunch on Day 2 of the third Ashes cricket test.
Australia resumed Thursday at 326-8 and was all out for 371 as Jofra Archer dismissed Mitchell Starc for a well-made 54 and No. 11 Lyon to complete a five-wicket haul.
England was coasting at 37 without loss in the eighth over until returning Australia skipper Pat Cummins took his first wicket of the series to dismiss Zak Crawley (9), triggering a slide of three wickets in 15 deliveries.
Offspinner Lyon was introduced for the 10th over and had immediate success with two wickets in four balls to remove Ollie Pope (3) and Ben Duckett (29) as England slid to 42-3.
He got Pope to play forward to a ball that turned, pushing a catch to a diving Josh Inglis at midwicket, to equal retired paceman McGrath's career haul of 563 test wickets.
Lyon struck again on the last ball of the over, enticing Duckett to play the wrong line to a drifting delivery that took out the England's openers off stump. TV coverage showed McGrath in the commentary booth pretending to throw a chair around in mock annoyance.
Only the great Shane Warne — with 708 wickets in 145 tests from 1992-2007 — is above Lyon on the Australia's all-time list. It was a huge return for Lyon, who was omitted from the lineup that won the second test in Brisbane for a 2-0 series lead.
England needs victory in Adelaide to have any chance of reclaiming the Ashes, and things could have been much worse.
