No Australian batsman has scored century in both innings at Lord's in the last 139 years. When Steve Smith will come out to bat today, he may score another century and it will be a case of another day another record broken, for him.

Steve Smith registered an exceptional century in the first innings and looked in an ominious form till the end. Will he take the attack to the bowlers again and play another impactful knock?

England's Ben stokes and Harry Brook had the onus of carrying the ship of their team but in the initial moments of the game Captain Stokes perished. Following that England's innings suffered a batting collapse and last 6 could only rake up 46 runs. Upon taking a hefty lead of 91 runs, the Aussies continued the onslaught in 2nd innings and at the end of the day reached 130 runs and took a lead of 221.

England would have to take early wickets to make a come back in the match. On the other hand, Australia would be looking to set a huge target past 400 runs. Who will succeed? All to look forward to on Day 4.
