INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Chris Rogers was a proud man after posting his highest test score on his adopted home ground of Lord's as Australia dominated on Thursday's opening day of the second Ashes test against England.

At stumps, Rogers was 158 not out and Steven Smith unbeaten on 129 in an Australia total of 337 for one.

This innings was all the more significant for Rogers as it came at 'the home of cricket' – a ground he knows well from his time spent playing and captaining Lord's-based county side Middlesex.

"It's going to be one of the proudest moments in my career I think," left-handed opener Rogers told Sky Sports after beating his previous test best of 119 against England at Sydney in 2014.
