Australia take control against Pakistan

Shane Watson became the first bowler to etch his name on Lord's new honours board as Australia dismantled Pakistan's inexperienced batting to take control of the first Test.



Watson finished with figures of five for 40 as Pakistan crashed to 148 all out, 105 runs behind Australia's first innings total of 253.



Lord's introduced a new honours board for neutral Test matches ahead of this game, which is being played at the home of cricket because of concerns over the security situation in Pakistan.



Pakistan had bowled themselves into a strong position when Mohammad Aamer wrapped up the Australian innings this morning with his fourth wicket.



Australia, resuming on 229 for nine, were bowled out for 253.



Batting a second time, Australia were 73 for two at Sports Time, a lead of 178 with nine wickets in hand.
