    Joe Root shuffles deep into his crease to defend against Nathan Lyon, before a leggy delivery is helped away by Root's hip for a couple of byes.

    Good from Lyon, bowling a really tight line, and Root has to stay aware to keep the ball away from his stumps.

  3. How's stat?!

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    In the last three years, Nathan Lyon averages 18 against left-handers and 40 against right-handers.

  4. Wood ruled out of Ashes

    A bit more info on Mark Wood's Ashes-ending injuries...

    He injured his side during the World Cup final triumph on 14 July but hoped to be fit for the fourth and fifth Tests against Australia.

    He also had surgery this week on a left knee injury suffered during the World Cup.

    The England and Wales Cricket Board said: "As a result of these injuries, he will be unavailable for any cricket for the remainder of the season."

    England already have injury concerns over fellow pace bowlers James Anderson and Jofra Archer.

    That's loose, though, Rory Burns going for a heaving drive, and he somehow manages to avoid nicking through to Tim Paine.

    Let's not do that...

    Now that's a good leave!

    Rory Burns is cut in half by a Pat Cummins delivery that just angles over the top of the stumps. Good judgement.

  7. Jim Maxwell

    Rory Burns is doing a magnificent job for England so far today. He timed that superbly.

  8. Eng 64-1

    Pat Cummins is back - and Rory Burns clips his second ball for four!

    That's a glorious shot, Cummins straying onto the pads, and Burns times the backside off it to ping it to the boundary.

  9. The umpires haven't had the best Test...

  10. Jim Maxwell
    BBC Test Match Special

    This has been a fairly attritional morning of Test cricket, with England digging in after the early loss of Jason Roy.

  11. Eng 59-1

    Burns 32, Root 10

    Rory Burns gets caught playing across his pad, a thick outside edge briefly interesting the close fielders, but it goes on the bounce to the man at square leg.

    Tidy, and Burns works a couple through mid-wicket to end the over.

  12. More pictures of your pets watching the cricket, please.

    Especially as Nathan Lyon is coming back on and this might be a fraught 15 minutes or so before lunch.

    BBC chief sports writer at Edgbaston

    An old-school feel to this morning session, attrition the only way forward for England in the face of a tight, disciplined attack. The template for batting on this track was established by Steve Smith on the first day: be watchful, look for deflections and nudges rather than swashbuckles, cut loose only when the hard yards have been gained.

    Joe Root prods and pokes his way through the rest of James Pattinson's over.

    Philip Fisher: Zinedine Zidane and Steve Smith are both devastated to see that the bail move is off.

  17. Eng 56-1

    Short from James Pattinson, and it's easy for Joe Root to roll his wrists on a pull shot and pick up a single through square leg.

    Whoops. Down the leg side from Pattinson, Burns flicks and misses at it, and Paine fumbles the stop. Ropey cricket all round, and the result is two byes to the total.

    Elliot Newstead: Good of the groundsman to sandpaper the stumps down this morning.

    There was a brilliant camera shot of Joe Root, stood there, grinning, as James Pattinson stared at the stumps in complete disbelief.

    Tidy from Peter Siddle, and that's a maiden to Rory Burns.
