    That's the beauty of both teams being not very good at batting - either side can still win!

    Alistair Budd: Vital England don't lose this Test. We may feel we want to be aggressive but with three Tests remaining and with the Jofra effect I'd back us to win two.

  3. 'You've got to be prepared to lose sometimes'

    Australia pace bowler Pat Cummins, who has taken 2-16, on Sky Sports: "The game is in the balance. We feel like we've got a chance to get a few early wickets today. There's enough in the wicket if you bowl good balls."

    Will Australia risk defeat chasing a target? "You'll have to wait and see. The Australian way is always try and find a way to win. You've got to be prepared to lose sometimes."

  4. Michael Vaughan's thinking was that it is actually easier for Australia to chase 180 in 35 overs than in 60 overs.

    In 60 overs there would definitely be enough time to be bowled out so that would play on the batsman's mind.

    If it was only 35 overs then you can have a proper slog for a bit knowing that you're very, very unlikely to be bowled out in that time.

    Ryan Carreyett: Why can’t England win? Even if we lose a session, we can still get up to 180/190 and give the Aussies a session and a bit to try and win in 30 odd overs. They haven’t performed either with the bat bar Smith, who surely isn’t gonna be 100% after yesterday.

    The groundstaff are poised. We can see some blue sky. If we start at 12:30, we'd lose an hour, so presumably we'd lose 15 overs.

  7. Right. Let's get on with this match. We all want to see the thrilling final day we were hoping for.

    They're rolling the covers off!

  9. Oh and Zak Crawley is now out for five against Essex.

    Going well...

  10. It's raining at Lord's but there are plenty of County Championship matches starting this morning.

    Two men talked about for a place in the England top order for the next Test, Dom Sibley and Gary Ballance, have both just been dismissed for ducks...

  11. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    We will start to lose time from 11:30 BST.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    The umpires have emerged, albeit still under umbrellas. It's hard to see a start until at least 12.

  13. 'Good fun' to face Archer

    Australia pace bowler Pat Cummins, speaking to Sky Sports, on Steve Smith resuming his innings after retiring hurt: "He said he was fine; he didn't have an symptoms. It's pretty brave. That's what we expect from Steve.

    "It was a quick spell from Archer - it was pretty fast. It was good fun. It was Test cricket - you were ducking and weaving. It felt like you were really in a contest."

  14. 'Woakes hasn't bowled enough'

    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Chris Woakes hasn't bowled enough this week, with his record. We hear he's got a little niggle, but if you're in the team then you need to bowl.

  15. Promising! There is a bit more activity going on on the outfield now. There's some mopping up to be done.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    They're pushing away the water and I can see blue sky in the distance.

  17. Jofra Archer, speaking to TMS this morning: "That is never the plan [to hit a batsman]. You are trying to get a wicket first. To see him go down, everyone stopped and everyone's heart skipped a beat.

    "After he got up he was moving around and you breathe a sigh of relief. No-one wants to see anyone getting carried off on a stretcher. It was a good challenge, a really good spell. For me I wouldn't like to see it end like that."

    How many more runs do England need? Another 100? "Yes at least. We want enough so we don't lose first."

  18. Smith injury brought back 'rough memories' of Hughes' death

    For all of the gripping entertainment of Archer's spell, it was a horrible, uncomfortable moment when Steve Smith was hit on the neck by a bouncer.

    Coach Justin Langer admitted the injury reminded him of the tragic death of Australia batsman Phillip Hughes.

    Hughes died aged 25 in November 2014, two days after being hit by a ball when batting in a domestic match.

    "There's obviously some rough memories of a blow like that, there's no fun in it," Langer said.

  19. 'Archer will send shivers round the world'

    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Archeris going to send shivers around batting line-ups around the world. All batting line-ups will be saying, "Did you see that spell?" We've got to face him."

  20. These were the speeds during one of Archer's overs yesterday. Seriously, seriously quick.
