Australia survived a tough test from England`s bowlers amid disruption from `Just Stop Oil` protesters to reach lunch at 73-1 in the second Ashes test at Lord`s on Wednesday. Opening batters David Warner and Usman Khawaja were dropped early on.
A morning of utter frustration for England, which chose to bowl first in ideal conditions, wasn`t soothed until the stroke of lunch when Khawaja was bowled by rookie quick Josh Tongue. Warner was 53 not out from 70 balls and looking comfortable.
