    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    In the first 51 overs pitching it up, Australia were 153-2. In the 51 consecutive overs of nothing but bouncers, 126-8, so it worked.

  4. How's stat?!

    According to CricViz's expected runs and wickets model, Australia should have finished 304 all out. England saving 25 runs there based on that data.

  5. Oh and it is tea, by the way.

  6. We had a bit of everything this afternoon, including a moment of genius in the field from Rehan Ahmed.

  7. From the press box

    Barney Ronay: Shocking from Lyon. Brainless shot to get out.

  8. Try writing about it, Alastair! I don't know where to start.

    The end result after one of the most bizarre sessions I have ever seen is that Australia are all out for 279, meaning England need 371 runs to win.

    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It's quite hard to commentate on because it is just chaos.

    Lyon has done well there to add a few crumbs to the cake.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Lyon c Stokes b Broad 4 (Aus 279)

    Out. Stuart Broad bangs it in, Nathan Lyon top-edges a pull and Ben Stokes takes a comfortable catch.

    Broad shakes Lyon's hand and he receives a standing ovation as he hobbles off.

    Incredibly brave from Lyon but you just hope he hasn't done any more damage to that calf.

    Why is Rehan not given an opportunity to bowl? Just to mix it up and try something different.

    Dylan

    He's sub fielder, Dylan...

    “Gaaaaarry, Gaaaaarrry…” chant the Australia fans.

  14. Aus 279-9

    Nope. Stuart Broad bowls it short and Nathan Lyon pulls away for four!

    The Aussie fans stand and applaud. The Australia players on the balcony are loving it.

    Incredible.

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

    Stokes keeps stretching his right leg, but it's his left knee that has been troubling him.

  16. Jim Maxwell
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's like a game of baseball at the minute, not Bazball.

  17. 6 runs

    Aus 275-9

    Lead by 366

    Shot! That was coming. Mitchell Starc finally connects with a pull and the ball flies over the rope.

    Nathan Lyon on strike next over. Full and straight, yes?

  18. Aus 269-9

    Now Mitchell Starc top-edges into the air but the ball falls just short of Josh Tongue.

  19. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    Stokes injured, Pope injured, who’d be England captain if Stokes had to go off?

  20. Aus 269-9

    Oh no. Now Ben Stokes has pulled up fielding at deep square leg.

    Is it cramp? Has he done his hamstring?

    He is chuckling about it anyway.
