  1. 'England are being too stubborn to their attacking style'

    Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    The last two days will haunt England.

    If they do not change their approach with the bat they are not going to win the Ashes.

    I will not be negative about the principle of playing positive cricket. That I agree with.

    But England's approach is turning into stubbornness because they have not learned from defeat at Edgbaston last week.

    England should have won that first Test. They were on top for large parts of the game, particularly in that second innings until Joe Root, Harry Brook and Jonny Bairstow all gave their wickets away after making starts.

    Afterwards I said they had to keep creating the chaos of Bazball but sense the moment to do so.

    They failed to do that at Edgbaston and have failed to do so again at Lord's - here even more so.

  2. England hopes fading after Australia dominate

    The tone for a disastrous day for England was set with the second ball of the morning when captain Ben Stokes was dismissed by Mitchell Starc.

    England then repeated their reckless batting of the second evening to lose their last six wickets for 46 runs.

    Harry Brook was the latest to fall to the short ball, out for 50, and Jonny Bairstow was guilty of a poor stroke.

    With the tail unable to provide any resistance to Australia's rampant pace bowlers, England were all out for 325, giving the tourists a first-innings lead of 91.

    Despite England's bowlers doing everything they could to exploit gloomy, moist conditions, Usman Khawaja built Australia's advantage with a composed unbeaten 58.

    Khawaja, dropped by James Anderson on 19, added 63 with David Warner and another 60 with Marnus Labuschagne.

    When rain and bad light arrived just after 17:00 BST, Australia had moved to 130-2, leading by 221.

  3. Welcome to coverage of day four of the second Ashes Test at Lord's where England need to produce something pretty special if they are keep their Ashes hopes alive, with only one team in Ashes history ever coming from 2-0 down to lift the urn.

    They have been in seemingly hopeless positions before and fought back though, so nothing can be ruled out.

    Let's start with a look back at Friday's action...

  4. Good morning

    I think James Anderson's reaction sums things up...
