  1. Eng 299-9

    Dan Lawrence clips to leg but turns down a possible single.

  2. Sir Alastair Cook

    It has been a good morning for England so far with plenty of runs scored at a good lick.

  3. Eng 299-9

    Dan Lawrence lofts a drive back down the ground and it briefly looks like he's chipped it back to Neil Wagner.

    But the ball flies past the bowler and a diving stop near the rope keeps England to two.

  4. Neil Wagner enters the fray. James Anderson can expect some short stuff whenever he's on strike against him.

    On the subject of Scooby Doo names - Trent Boult sounds like the name of the friendly museum curator/bank manager that turns out to be the villain.

  6. How's stat?!

    Test Match Special statistician

    This is now Dan Lawrence's highest Test score, beating his 73 in Galle against Sri Lanka. It is his seventh Test and 12th innings.

  7. Mark Wood will be gutted to have missed out on his fifty...

  8. Eng 297-9

    James Anderson sees off the rest of the over. Dan Lawrence back on strike next up.

    The last one skidded past the edge and there was a noise but that was Anderson's bad hitting the ground.

  9. Eng 297-9

    James 'Burnley Brian Lara' Anderson guides it through a gap in the cordon for four.

    Did Edgbaston enjoy that? Just a bit.

  10. Only fair, given he's England's greatest ever Test cricketer.

    Is there any other cricketer in the history of the English game more beloved than Jimmy Anderson?

  12. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Is this a case of James Anderson saying 'if it is a bouncer we are running'?

  13. Eng 293-9

    Lawrence 75, Anderson 0

    Dan Lawrence can't work a single off the last to keep the strike.

    James Anderson will face Trent Boult again next up.

  14. Eng 293-9

    Shot! Superb timing and grace by Dan Lawrence to shuffle to the leg side and loft a drive over the covers for four.

  15. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    What a nice reception that was for James Anderson.

    There was a little part of me yesterday that wanted him to go out in the final 10 minutes when the crowd were really on it.

    Why is it that England always lose a wicket within two minutes of me logging on to this feed? Anyone worked out the algorithm?

  17. Mark Wood will be telling people about this shot for 40 years.

  18. Eng 289-9

    James Anderson expertly sees off the four balls, finishing with a textbook leave.

  19. You've got to back Stuart Broad to break that record, right?

  20. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman

    Stuart Broad now has 37 ducks in Test cricket. He is now second in the all-time list. He's just overtaken New Zealand's Chris Martin. He's behind Courtney Walsh, who has 43.
