    Hello!

    With one second to go, Joe Root sends an lbw shout against Marcus Harris upstairs.

    Marcus Harris is calling for a new bat. I think he's broken the handle on this one.

    If your mate is at the ground, with a Portsmouth shirt on, text him and tell him to sit down!

  4. Aus 8-0published at 2.3 overs

    Marcus Harris leans back and hooks James Anderson for four, albeit tantalisingly close to Craig Overton at square leg.

    Oh, we're now being held up by somebody faffing about behind the bowlers arm.

    Paul Barrow: Picking two wicketkeepers and still ending up with a part-timer doing the job is some peak England Ashes meltdown action.

    England haven't scored 300 on fresh pitches, so if Australia get 150 more, to lead by 270, you'd think that would be plenty. But that would give England a sniff.

    James Anderson strings together five dot balls in a row after being edged for four first up.

    There was a little bit of late movement from James Anderson there. It would have been the perfect start.

    He didn't even have a bowl in the change of the innings and he's created an opportunity with his first ball.

    Marcus Harris was lucky that didn't go to hand.

    Lead by 126

    Oh, that's not where he intended!

    Marcus Harris goes for a big drive, gets a thick outside edge, but somehow manages to clear Zak Crawley at gully and pick up four. That's... not a good shot.

    James Anderson will open the bowling.

    Here's how Jonny Bairstow's superb knock came to an end.

    Ben Stokes is going to take to the field. Craig Overton is on for Jonny Bairstow, with Pope taking Jos Buttler's place.

    Here come the Australia batters.

    Ollie Pope has kept in a Test before, against New Zealand in 2019.

    That is a very good question.

    If Ollie Pope is not the regular keeper for his county, when does he keep?

    That's the spirit.

    Matt Barron: Looking forward to seeing the English bowlers bowl far too short while Australia pile on some easy runs now.
