Spinner of Australia Nathon Lyon Finally got his award for some smart bowling with two wickets as England suffered a middle-order collapse to be used for 302 and bring lunch on day two of the series-opening Ashes Test in Brisbane on Friday.Having moved to 246 for four, England lost their last six wickets for 56 runs at the Gabba.
Lyon missed out on a wicket on day one but the off-spinner trapped Moeen Ali lbw for 38 and bowled Chris Woakes for a duck in quick succession in Friday's extended morning session.

Pat Cummins had Jonny Bairstow caught for nine by assistant Wicketkeeper Tim Paine when skying a pull shot before pacer Mitchell Starc removed Jake Ball for 14 with David Warner taking a brilliant catch at leg gully.Shaun Marsh dropped a Stuart Broad slog in the deep when the batsman was on 10 but the England pacer was out for 20 when he pulled Josh Hazlewood to Peter Handscomb, bringing an end to England's innings.


Seven balls later, Lyon trapped Moon in front with a fine delivery that pitched at middle and leg and straightened sharply.Moeen reviewed the decision but the technology showed the ball hitting the upper of middle stump.A panicking Woakes was out for a four-ball duck in Lyon's next over, attempting to slog the offspinner through the covers.
