    Hi Tom - epic work, thank you! Should we crowdfund for Hannah Waddingham to follow Carey for the rest of the series, ringing a bell shouting "SHAME"?

    Janey, Manchester

    Thanks Janey!

    As for your suggestion, I'm sure Hannah Waddingham is far too nice to do anything like that.

    Both Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad have ran up to the dressing room at drinks.

  3. drinks break

    Drinks break - Eng 299-6published at 71 overs

    And Stuart Broad survives those two balls. It is time for drinks as everyone at Lord's and beyond takes a collective breath.

    Test cricket, eh?

    Needs 72 runs to win

    Ben Stokes gets the single to give two balls to face for Stuart Broad.

    England need fewer runs than they did when Jack Leach walked to the crease at Headingley.

    You want to be live for this. This is extraordinary. It's up there with some of the greatest drama.

    You have to argue, whoever wins this will win the Ashes.

    Australia have to get Ben Stokes out otherwise England are going to win this game.

    Stokes is amazing but so is Broad. Ice ice baby.

    Just been told our easyJet flight won't be taking off for another 50 mins. Just this once I'm ok with that!

    Need 73 to win

    Ben Stokes pushes a single to bring Stuart Broad on strike as the field comes in, but Broad blocks out the final two deliveries.

    They probably could have run two off the final ball there, but Stokes wasn't taking that risk and sent Broad back.

    Broad literally ran those two runs as well, he was stood alongside Stokes at one point.

    It's not as if Stokes need any more bruises. Always fear the wounded batter, they always concentrate a little bit more.

  13. ouch!

    Eng 297-6published at 69.3 overs

    Ouch. Another bruise for Ben Stokes as he chops the ball onto his thigh.

    The Lord's crowd cheers on Stokes, as if to will away the pain.

    This has been incredible cricket.

    Ben Stokes seems to revel. When it gets to the stage of impossible, he makes it seem possible. The Aussies have done the same tactic and it just hasn't worked.

    What a game of cricket this has turned into today. Broad is playing so well to support Stokes, who looks a bit wounded, but is still managing to demolish the Aussies.

    Gregcoles: Ben Stokes. Take a bow. GOAT.

    Craig Barker: Can we knight Ben Stokes at tea?

    Cameron Green has bowled well since coming into the attack, until he bowls a full toss that Ben Stokes pushes to mid-off for a single to keep the strike.

    Zach Kingsbury: Ben Stokes is the ice man. Bloke is almost single handedly giving England a chance of victory here and looks like he’s having a knock in the local park with the kids. Crazy composure.
