SPINNER LYON IS A REAL STAR TURN

NATHAN LYON (left) won the battle of the slow bowlers. Though his firstinnings figures of 36-12-78-2 were similar to Moeen Ali’s 30-8-74-2, in the second innings Australia’s offspinner pulled away, taking three for 67, including Moeen, controversially stumped for 40. Hampered by a ripped spinning finger, Moeen could manage only four wicketless overs for 23 by the end of the fourth day.
