Ben Stokes pushes for a single into the off side. There's loud boos for Pat Cummins as he fields the ball.
No doubt as to who public enemy No.1 is to the Lord's crowd.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorDon't go out of your ground until you know you are safe to leave it. I don't trust anyone but having said that there was a case for Cummins to consider withdrawing.

Stuart Broad wears another short delivery before jokingly jumping out of his crease and in it again.
Lols all round.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThere's a high degree of risk for Stokes and I wonder if he has just changed his plan slightly.
Eng 251-6published at 58.5 overs
Ben Stokes twice clubs the ball along the ground to the boundary but he declines the run.
A short leg-side is then glove fine and just evades the diving Alex Carey!
Was that a chance? It was tough if so.

Anyone else?

Target 371
In the air but safe! An inside edge off Stuart Broad's thigh pad lands just wide of a diving Steve Smith.
The whole Aussie field retreats to the boundary for Ben Stokes.

That's the end of the over. I'm exhausted already.
Strap in, folks.

Steve Smith has dropped Ben Stokes!!!
Incredible. Stokes pulls to Smith at deep square, he gets both hands on it but the ball bounces out on to the turf.
Lord's erupts. I cannot believe what I am seeing.
