    This has been an epically disastrous day.

  3. Aus 538-4

    Smith 220, M Marsh 179

    I've had the fortune to commentate on some fairly remarkable sporting moments in the past six years. Mitch Marsh carting England for 179 in a partnership of 291 is up there.

    When he came out to bat someone on the TV said he was the worst number six in the history of Australian cricket...

    If this was our social five-a-side football game we would stop and swap players. "Joe and Moeen you go on theirs, Steve and Nathan you come on ours."

    BT Sport are just going through the day's wickets for those of you who are just waking up.

    Done.

  8. Aus 536-4

    Lead by 133

    We've all seen some hammerings down under down the years. The worst thing about this display is that (whisper it) I'm not sure that this Australia XI is even that good.

    Compared to the 90s anyway.

    It's a good job we got rid of timeless Tests. These two would still be batting when the County Championship starts up again in April.

    Christopher Toth‏: England's attack is like trying to eat soup with a fork ...don't have the tools for the job. Sinking feeling.

    Malan the danger man!

  12. Aus 533-4

    Smith 218, M Marsh 176

    DM - Danger Man Dawid Malan!

    Get him opening the bowling next time. He induces a first false shot from Steve Smith for about 75 overs as the Aussie captain clips a leading edge back towards Malan.

    It just doesn't quite carry.

  13. Aus 527-4

    Smith 217, M Marsh 175

    Stuart Broad is 0-112 from 28 overs. There are seven overs left in the day, can Mitch get his 200 in a day?

    Josh Metcalfe: Sunderland win a home game

  15. Dry your eyes Craig, I know it's hard to take but Steve Smith's mind has been made up.There's plenty more runs in this pitch...

    Craig Morrison‏: Wake up. Turn on @bbctms. Malan bowling. Conclude England must be very confident to play him and so on top. Wake up properly. Engage brain. Worry. Hear score. Cry.

  17. From the press box

    Steve Smith has gone past his previous best Test score of 215 at Lord's...

    Elliott Binks‏: Hey BBC Sport - my wicket notifications for The Ashes don’t seem to be working. For some reason I only got one all night, and that was 6 hours ago. Sort it out.

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm not sure Steve Smith is going to be slogging...

  20. Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Why wasn't Malan bowling before? This is what you want, somebody who tosses it up and gets them slogging.
