Aussies press ahead

Afp, London
Australia were 140 for three, a healthy lead of 175, at tea on the second day of the first Test against England at Lord's here Friday.
Damien Martyn was 24 not out and Michael Clarke 22 not out.
But Clarke was fortunate when, in the last over before tea, he was dropped on 21 by Test debutant Kevin Pietersen at cover off Simon Jones.
At lunch, Australia were 47 for one, a lead of 82, with Matthew Hayden 32 not out and captain Ricky Ponting unbeaten on seven.
But Hayden added just two to his score before he bottom-edged a pull offAndrew Flintoff onto his stumps.
Then a single off Matthew Hoggard saw Ponting, in his 89th Test and 145th innings, become the seventh Australian to score 7,000 Test runs.
However, a run later Ponting, on 42, guided a catch off Hoggard to substitute James Hildreth at backward point.
Together with Martyn he'd put on 46, Australia 100 for three.
Earlier Pietersen, picked after two dashing one-day international innings against world champions Australia, top scored with 57 as England were bowled out for 155.
The 25-year-old South Africa-born batsman, in for 100-cap veteran Graham Thorpe who announced his Test retirement Friday, then ran out Justin Langer (six) with an underarm throw from the covers.
England resumed on 92 for seven, still 98 runs behind after a first day when Australia, winners of the last eight Ashes series, were bowled out for 190 (Harmison taking five for 43) and an extraordinary 17 wickets in all fell.
Pietersen was 28 not out and Matthew Hoggard yet to face.
Glenn McGrath, who had taken five for 21 Thursday to dismiss all of England's top five and in the process become only the fourth bowler to take 500 Test wickets, saw Pietersen uppercut his first ball over the slips for four.
Instead it was Shane Warne, who struck first Friday when the leg-spinner extend his world record haul of Test
wickets to 584 when Hoggard was caught cutting by Hayden at first slip for a 16-ball nought.
His exit left England 101 for eight but Pietersen, undaunted, struck three succesive boundaries off McGrath.
Going down the pitch, he pull-drove the 35-year-old quick for a violent straight four but next ball a textbook lofted straight drive sailed for six into the Pavilion.
Pietersen followed that up with a scorching drive through to the extracover boundary, his eighth four taking him to an 84-ball fifty.
He then swept Warne, his county captain at Hampshire, for six.
But next ball, trying to repeat the stroke, Pietersen saw Martyn, running round the boundary, take a low diving catch just inside the rope, England 122 for nine.
But a last wicket stand of 33 in 29 balls between Harmison (11) and Simon Jones (20 not out) helped restrict Australia's firstinningslead to 35.
