Just clipping the leg stump by the narrowest of margins is the verdict and the batsman has to go. The quirks of the system. What a breakthrough for England, the last of the main batsmen gone.

Joe Root has got his man surely? They are going to review the lbw after Anderson is given out.

Mark Craig is the new batsman, another stocky left-hander, rather less capable than Anderson, although he does have a couple of 60s, against West Indies and Pakistan, and has an average of 35. He is on a pair here but keeps out the combative Wood quite comfortably.

Will: Who is Helen? New BBC drama.

Adam in Lancaster: Can't decide who I'm rooting for most in the cricket - England or Dave and Helen.

Sue: Completely gripped by the story unfolding on the #bbccricket live webpage. And the cricket's pretty interesting too...

If this was the 2005 Ashes, Wood could play the role of Simon Jones, bursting with the occasional devastating burst of express pace. Root continues with his off-spin, there are three men crowded around the burly Anderson, brave indeed, and the big fellow thumps one through the leg-side for four.

Jon Evans: Wood looks like the bowler we've been looking for. Will need patience with him, but he'll be a star. Just need a no.2 opener.

Bertie Kennedy: Just fist pumped on a public bus.

VB: What an amazing test this is. 5 days of "edge of your seat" stuff.

"Alastair Cook did the right thing. Nothing has happened for a while so he kept changing the bowling. That is a ball that did something. There is enough in the pitch to encourage bowlers, particularly the seamers. There is always a magic ball round the corner. Nine, 10 Jack - I fancy us to bowl them out."

No doubt about it, a lifting ball brushes the glove and goes through to the keeper. The crowd are jubilant. It's like the 2005 Ashes all over again. Terrific stuff.

Wood has got his man surely? Off the glove, caught behind. But they're just checking the TV replays for a no-ball...

There's not too much to smile about at the moment if you're an England fan, but Lord's Twitter account, @HomeOfCricket, has tweeted pictures of comedians Al Murray and Josh Widdecombe at the ground today.

"The crowd are loving this, egging England on. Today in particular, England have been really encouraged for the win which is great because you don't always get that."

Young Joe Root is the surprising choice as the next bowler and far from being bullied by the muscular Anderson he has the left-hander in a spot or two of bother. A maiden.

"The bowlers know if they get a breakthrough, they can get another. It is that kind of pitch. Batsmen can get in for an hour and score runs but it can change very quickly."

Debutant Wood returns to the attack from the Pavilion End. He sets off like a long jumper and has a tremendous leap as he reaches the crease. Still finding his feet though and Watling clips one assiduously off his pads for his ninth boundary.

"Watling is a scrapper, he is not a purist like Williamson. But you need people like that in your side. He has heart and guts and will fight in any situation."

Jimmy is being cheered on by an excellent crowd but he looks spent at 82mph. Time for a rest and he can come back and get his 400th Test wicket to win the match with the final delivery? Watling collects two through the off-side and displays a resolute defence to the other balls.

"New Zealand are blunting England at the moment. This is when I want to see a bit of spin, tossing it up into the foot-holes to the left-hander. They need a wicket to get it going again."

Andy, Bristol: Been trying to get hold of my mate Jim who went to the cricket as part of a cross-dressing stag do. Think he was going under the name Helen if anyone spots him...

Hang on, it's a new series of Inside Number 9 is it?

It's not all brute force from big left-hander Anderson, a textbook cover drive and a deft late cut bring him successive boundaries off Broad and signals the 100 partnership. Who is going to break it for England? The crowd are still hopeful, though.

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"Watling got 142 not out in his previous innings before this Test, so he has now gone 256 runs since his last dismissal."
