  1. Eng 97-4

    The first run of the morning goes to Jos Buttler with a tuck of the hip off Nathan Lyon. The spinner will be a bigger challenge for left-hander Stokes.

    That went through to Paine at chest high and it was still going. That's the variable bounce we've been talking about.

  3. Eng 96-4

    Lead by 104

    No runs from the over but there's plenty there for the bowlers. A few balls skid low and then another kicks higher as Stokes leaves.

    I can't decide who that favours.

  4. Eng 96-4

    A sign of England's plan? Pat Cummins bowls wide of the off stump first up and Ben Stokes goes for a big cut shot. He misses.

    Ben in Manchester: Brain says draw, heart says England win, my gut says Australia win.

  6. Eng 96-4

    Lead by 104

    Like last night Steve Smith is not on the field. Marnus Labuschagne is fielding in his place.

    We came off halfway through an over last night so Pat Cummins will finish it off.

    Ben Stokes on strike.

  7. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler stride out full of intent with their arms swinging.

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

    I don't think there is enough time for England to win because they won't declare until the lead is 220 or so and I don't think there will be enough time.

  9. Here come the umpires.

    How many more do England need before they even think about the possibility of declaring?

    Another 100? 150?

    It might not even come to that of course.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    It's been going since 2007 where a former cricketer rings the bell to signal five minutes before the start of play.

  11. You wouldn't know we'd had the miserable rain of an hour ago. It's picture perfect at Lord's now. Good conditions for batting...

    Ex England international and TMS' own Isa Guha has just rung the pre-day Lord's bell.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Geoffrey is out having a look at the pitch! You don't see that very often.

  13. Lord's is now bathed in sunshine and the crowd is waiting patiently for the game to begin.

    There will be 88 overs in the day. The teams effectively have as long as they want to fit those overs in, light and rain permitting.

    All results are just about still possible.

  14. 'Archer said he'd never hit someone there before'

    Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I hope one or two people are sitting Jofra Archer down and reassuring him that actually, it isn't his fault. He said he's never hit someone there before.

  15. If Smith is ruled out of today then he could also be ruled out of the Headingley Test because of the concussion rules.

    This could be massive for the series, never mind this match.

    The third Test starts on Thursday.

  16. Smith ruled out of Test?

    Big, big news coming from the Aussie media. Steve Smith could be ruled out of the day due to concussion.

    There's been a bit of a momentum shift. When we came out of Edgbaston, I didn't see how England could beat them. All of a sudden, that 45-minute spell from Jofra Archer has really turned it on its head. They'll back themselves going into Headingley.

  18. Mark Ramprakash
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    I was watching yesterday with Allan Lamb, I remember some of the cricket they played against West Indies and it took me back. It was box office Test cricket yesterday with Jofra.

  19. 'Cricket deserves better than Smith boos'

    There has been a lot of discussion about the booing of Steve Smith yesterday. Plenty of people at the ground said they didn't hear anything but you could hear boos on TV and radio coverage when he walked off after retiring hurt and when he returned.

    The Australian Cricketers Association have given a strongly worded statement.

    "Cricket deserves much better than that," the statement reads. "And Lords, the home of cricket, deserves much better than that also.

    "What we witnessed was bravery from an outstanding young man. It should be commended not vilified.

    "Over the English summer, generally the crowds have been terrific and really added to the contest. But when someone is hurt, yet the boos continue, it's time to call ‘enough.’

    "At any rate, the players have already served the toughest penalties in the history of cricket. Surely it is time to move forward."

    The first hour will really determine how things will go.
