The match took a controversial turn as Jacques Kallis was given out in the final over before lunch. Kallis was initially given not out, when the English side opted for DRS.
However, soon Kallis was declared out by third umpire Rod Tucker even though it wasn't clear where ball hit.
Andrew Strauss is playing his 100th Test at the Lord's on Thursday.
