This was our image of the day in Saturday's Ashes digest and with good reason, what an absolutely stunning picture of Rehan Ahmed's incredible diving stop on the boundary.

It was because Smith was adjudged to have had at least one or more fingers underneath the ball. So the ball was deemed to be under complete control before it touched the ground.

A nice day for a miracle…

There's plenty of blue sky, sunshine and fluffy white clouds overhead at Lord's.

Dare I say perfect batting conditions?

A fair point, Andy. Sometimes messing with the rules or laws just makes things worse.

I am also not sure that the incident is somehow against the "spirit" of the game either.

There should be no issues with the weather today at Lord's, with cloud and sunny spells forecast.

We will bring you a more detailed forecast from a member of the BBC Weather team shortly before start of play.

The Mitchell Starc 'catch' is also a topic of debate down under in Australia.

Robert Craddock in the Australian, external says the umpires made the right decision according to the laws of the game - but that the laws should be changed to allow such catches.

"The problem for cricket is not that Mitchell Starc’s catch was ruled not out … it’s that the decision was technically correct.

"Cricket needs to change its laws – again – to ensure catches like Starc’s are fair.

"Don’t blame the third umpire for ruling in favour of England batsman Ben Duckett who swatted a ball into Starc’s glue fingered grasp on the fence before he cushioned his fall with the ball sliding across the turf in his total control.

"Under the strict interpretation of the laws of the game which say a fieldsman must have complete control of his own movement – Starc didn’t – as well as the ball before it touches the ground, the correct decision was made.

"The trouble is the law book should be the embodiment of the spirit of the game and this rule doesn’t quite get there.

"From backyard cricket all the way up to a Test at Lord’s a catch like Starc’s catch should be out. But it technically wasn’t."

Daniel Cherny was pretty scathing of the England in the Courier Mail., external

"They are a meme of a cricket team. They are easily digestible. They are also losing. Yet they are unapologetic.

"But reality is biting against an Australian side that gnaws away at you. It is death by a thousand cut shots.

"These Aussies don’t rest on their laurels. They do the hard things, the things that you don’t see. They graft. They play the long game. They did it in Pakistan, in the World Test Championship final, and are doing it here.

"England is in the entertainment business all right. And Australia is in the winning business."

Ouch.

Daniel Brettig in the Sydney Morning Herald, external said England's switch to short-pitched bowling was a belated recognition that they needed to adapt to the match situation.

"England are playing an Australian side of maturity and system, well-grooved in how they play but also in how they adapt between and within games.

"At Lord’s, they have coped with the worst of the batting conditions, the advance of England to 188-1 in bright sunshine, and the emotional and tactical trauma of losing Lyon’s services for the first time in a decade.

"Test cricket is, ultimately, about that ability to adapt over five days. England are trying to pivot against a team that has been doing so successfully for two years.

"England’s play on day four demonstrated a realisation that the happiest memories tend to be created by giving yourself the best chance of winning. Too late?"

Time to have a look at some of the reaction in the Australian media.

It is fair to say they are not particularly sympathetic to England's plight (shock, horror).

A reminder of today's ZaltzQuiz:

Which current or former member of the Test Match Special commentary team was the last England bowler to take five top-four Australian wickets in a men’s Ashes Test in this country?

Answer at 10:30 BST!

There are 96 overs to be bowled on day five and we're still trying to make up time lost to rain on day three. Here are the very specific session times...

• Morning session: 11:00-13:15
• Lunch: 13:15-13:55
• Afternoon session:13:55-16:01
• Tea: 16:01-16-21
• Evening session: 16:21-18:21

There must be 81 overs bowled before last hour, which cannot start before 17:21.

All times are BST.

How's your luck Danni Wyatt? The England batter is 'bowled' by Darcie Brown but the bails fall straight back into the stumps.

Make sure you buy a lottery ticket, Danni!

For England, it may not have been the desired result, but it certainly had the desired effect.

There was an all-female groundstaff.

Between Isa Guha, Katherine Sciver-Brunt and Anya Shrubsole, commentating on BBC Two, there were 710 international wickets.

And England and Australia showed almost 20,000 people at Edgbaston what women's cricket is about, with a penultimate-ball thriller that was just edged by the visitors.

In a week that saw the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) find that racism, sexism, classism and elitism are "widespread" in English and Welsh cricket, the first T20 of the women's Ashes provided the game with some hope.

The report found that women are treated as "subordinate" to men at all levels of the sport.

To find positivity in the record crowd is not to undermine the findings.

It is to send a message, to show that women's cricket is not going anywhere.

There was further disappointment for England women as they lost the first T20 against Australia at Edgbaston to slip 6-0 down in the multi-format series.

Australia were cruising at 130-2 in pursuit of 154 but lost three wickets for 10 runs as England fought back at the death.

But opener Beth Mooney finished unbeaten on 61 as Australia edged home with just one ball to spare.

England need nine points to regain the Ashes, so must win all five remaining white-ball games - or win four if one is tied or rained off.

The T20 leg of the series continues at The Oval on Wednesday, 5 July.
