Australia pledged to get better with their use of DRS after it cost them at Trent Bridge, but Shane Watson wasted yet another review when he fell in the over before lunch on day two of the second Test.
Australia were 1-42 at lunch and trail on the first innings by 319 runs.
Watson (30) and Chris Rogers (12 not out) had survived an opening onslaught from England strike-weapon James Anderson to build a solid platform for the tourists.
But for the second time in the series, and the 23rd time in his Test career, Watson was trapped lbw planting his front foot down the wicket to England’s Tim Bresnan (1-12).
To add insult to injury Watson foolishly signalled to go upstairs, and Australia now has just one review left for the rest of their first innings pursuit of England’s 361.
Not for the first time this series, Australia’s focus has lapsed before and after breaks in play.
Watson was given some early headaches by Anderson, but he looked in control against Bresnan and Stuart Broad.
It now shapes as an acid test for a fragile Australian batting order that has struggled for consistency.
The turn part-time legspinner Steve Smith (3-18) was able to find on a day one pitch at Lord’s suggests Graeme Swann will sense a big opportunity to bounce back from a poor showing at Trent Bridge and try and spin Australia out of the game.
Australia have made an interesting alteration to their batting order, with skipper Michael Clarke to return to No.5, with Phil Hughes at 4 and Steve Smith at 6.
Ryan Harris (5-72) got himself on the honour board at Lord’s with a five-wicket haul on day two, but it was Australia’s turn to feel the pain of a 10th wicket partnership.
Stuart Broad (33 from 29) and Graeme Swann (28 from 26) put on a rapid-fire 48 at the death, before England were finally bowled out an hour before lunch.
Public enemy No.1 Broad again failed to cover himself in glory in the middle, challenging his dismissal at the death, despite HotSpot clearly showing he’d edged James Pattinson behind.
At Trent Bridge, Broad refused to walk despite whacking a ball to first slip.
Harris struck with the first ball of the day to have Tim Bresnan caught behind, and four overs later he repeated the dose to send James Anderson on his way.
At that point England were 9-313, but Australia were unable to keep their foot on the throat.
England added 72 to their overnight total.
Usman Khawaja will join Rogers at the crease after lunch.
