There is no sign of the shape that Starc was getting yesterday.

Do umpires have net sessions like players do? How do they practise?

If England are to win, they will set a new Test record for most runs scored after the fall of a fourth wicket to win in the fourth innings of a Test.
England needed 326 runs more to win when the fourth wicket fell. The previous record was the 255 more added after the fall of the fourth wicket by New Zealand against Pakistan in Dunedin in February 1985.
That one wicket victory was centred around an heroic century from TMS's own Jeremy Coney.
Stokes 39, Duckett 57
Great stop by Steve Smith at fine leg.
Ben Duckett pulls a short delivery off Mitchell Starc that looks four all the way, but Smith dives full stretch to his left to prevent the boundary.
13 runs off the over. Good start by England - but a long, long way to go.
Shot! The crowd loved that even more! Ben Stokes plays a delicious straight drive past mid-off and away for another boundary.

That's England's first boundary of the day. Listen to the crowd, they so want this to be a contest.
Stokes has put that away well.
Shot. Mitchell Starc strays on leg stump and Ben Stokes clips the ball off his pads and away for four.
More nervous applause.

If the two Bens are eating Sunday lunch with their pads on then it's a possible. Can't see it though but come on England.

Target 371
Three singles off Pat Cummins' first over of the day, who is already pushing 86mph.
The field is more spread for Duckett but a short leg come in for Stokes. Australia know how key he is to England's hopes.
Pat Cummins will open at the Pavilion End.

I've bet my mate a Domino's pizza that Australia will have this wrapped up by lunch. I'd love England to win, but I love free food more, sorry boys!

I think that was pretty straight. Starc has got some movement in.
He's hit it but it was pretty straight.
Ben Stokes tests everyone's nerves by leaving another delivery that keeps low, but it has enough height to go over his stumps.
More nerves as Mitchell Starc appeals for lbw as he angles one in on Stokes' pads - but there was a thick inside edge.
Mitchell Starc is short first up and the ball keeps low, allowing Ben Duckett to get on top of a pull to fine leg for the first run of the day.
There's a ripple of polite yet nervous applause from the Lord's crowd.
Ben Duckett will face the first ball of the day from Mitchell Starc, who was superb yesterday evening.
Here we go...

There are three big pockets of Australia fans in the Grandstand. They're threatening to take over that stand.
Jonathan Agnew

Who knows what lies ahead? Obviously the odds are firmly stacked in Australia's favour.
Simon Mann

It is a bit overcast here at Lord's.
Glenn McGrath
Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special
If Australia can pick up a couple of early wickets and get the fast bowlers in then it could be over very quickly.
But if Ben Duckett, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow can stay there until somewhen around tea then it cold be a very good game.
