  1. Everyone is ready to go again and Ollie Robinson will bowl to Usman Khawaja.

  2. Here come the players. We will have play again imminently.

    Word is that there will not be a drinks break now and lunch will still be at 13:00 BST. No time lost then, it seems.

  3. David Warner and Usman Khawaja are waiting in the doorway of the pavilion. They've done their job very well so far.

    A few scares with balls whistling past the edge, one nick just falling short but a couple of lovely shots as well...

  4. It looks like they're going to be back out there very quickly. The umpires are already out having a look and the hover cover is being taken off.

    Thankfully just a brief stoppage. It could be one of those days.

  5. Protest disrupts second Test

    If you're just joining us, protestors wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts ran onto the Lord's outfield after the first over of today's second Test and threw an orange substance onto the grass.

    The video of the incident can be viewed below and the full story on the incident is here.

    It's not ideal for England, the last thing they would want is for this outfield to get wet. It was just getting to the stage where the lacquer was starting to come off the ball and get a bit of movement in the air. England would've liked a bit more time out there to get something.

    You have to look at whether they have bowled in the right areas, they are probably surprised at the lack of pace, the lack of bounce. The ball doesn't really carry as much as it used to and you start to get to a point where you have to start getting wickets.

  7. rain stops play

    Rain stops play

    Aus 20-0

    Oh dear. The rain has returned and the umpires are waving on the covers.

    Australia will be delighted to have got through a very tricky spell against the new ball without losing a wicket.

    England won't want to be off for long, they'll want to get stuck into the tourists' top-order while the conditions remain favourable.

  8. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    The drizzle and gloom has closed in again. There's movement down by the hover cover.

  9. Aus 20-0

    Anderson loses his radar in the second half of the over and David Warner clips the last delivery through the leg side for two.

  10. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It moved in the air, then off the pitch as well. It carried through a bit better.

  11. Aus 18-0

    Another play and a miss!

    Jimmy Anderson gets the ball to move away nicely from David Warner, who was pushing at it wide of off.

    It feels like it is only a matter of time but Australia's openers are hanging in there.

  12. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Both sides are just feeling each other out at the moment, there's no real pace in this pitch.

    The good thing about Usman Khawaja is that he lets the ball come, he doesn't go hard, there's no real pace in this pitch and he's in good form after Edgbaston.

  13. No wickets yet but Jimmy Anderson has come very close.

    He found Usman Khawaja's outside edge but the ball dropped fractionally short of Joe Root at first slip.

  14. Aus 18-0

    Usman Khawaja gets his first boundary of the innings, playing late to guide the ball past gully for four.

    Five from Ollie Robinson's over. Australia are safely through the first 40 minutes in gloomy conditions at Lord's.

  15. Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    The last three series including this one, Stuart Broad has got Warner out 10 times for just 82 runs. It has been a fascinating, fluctuating head-to-head over the years.

  16. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Robinson gets good areas, bowls a good line and gets some bounce. He doesn't mind a bit of a chat. It's fine to talk it up, but you've got to back that up in the middle. England are going to be wanting a big performance from him.

  17. England are making a bowling change but it's Ollie Robinson rather than Josh Tongue coming on.

    It's fair to say that Robinson's antics last week got under the skin of a few former Australia players...

  18. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's been a little bit of a surprising start. I was expecting this pitch to do a little bit more, there has not been much bounce. The ball is starting to move a little bit, maybe it's time to get someone like Tongue on to get a bit more pace.

  19. Aus 13-0

    Just a single from Jimmy Anderson's latest as David Warner tucks a rising deliver off his hip.

    Usman Khawaja is remaining extremely watchful, leaving when he can and blocking everything else for now.

    Jack Thomas: England seem to be missing that spark with the ball. Missing that extra yard of pace. For all the talk of the wicket and overheads it’s doesn’t seem to be doing much.

    It's doing enough, Jack. Doubt many batters would fancy being out there at the moment.
