Players again walk out to the middle. Starc will open the proceedings from the pavilion end with four slips in place. There is a FSL in place too. Adam Lyth will take first strike

So Australia have declared at 566. Cloud cover and a thick one. Will that help the left-armers get swing? The score is on the board and Lyon will be a big factor as the game goes on. We saw Moeen and Root get spin. There is rough for Lyon to work with as well. Should be an interesting last session. We will be back for the England reply soon

Over: 149	0 2 0 1 1 W	AUS 566/8
Johnson 15(33)	Starc 12(21)	Broad 27-5-83-4

148.6 - Broad to Johnson, out Caught by J Anderson!! Australia have declared after that wicket! Johnson again makes room to a length delivery, he skews it off the toe end of the bat to Anderson at mid-off, who sets himself under it and completes the catch. Johnson's bottom hand came off the bat handle there. Now, it will be interesting to see how Australia will bowl on a flat deck. Johnson c J Anderson b Broad 15(33) [4s-2]

Broad to Johnson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

148.5 - Broad to Starc, 1 run, Starc stays back in the crease to this back of a length delivery and pulls it to backward square leg

148.4 - Broad to Johnson, 1 run, Broad follows Johnson as he makes room, Johnson hoicks it across the line to mid-on. It didn't exactly come out of the middle of the bat

148.3 - Broad to Johnson, no run, Broad drags his length back a touch, Johnson again makes room and looks to hoick it across the line and misses

148.2 - Broad to Johnson, 2 runs, Johnson again makes room and lofts it over deep backward point. The fielder in the deep fires in a rocket throw, but the striker was in

148.1 - Broad to Johnson, no run, from round the wicket, Broad bowls it on a back of a length and outside off, Johnson makes room and tries to slap it through the off-side, misses

Broad will start the proceedings with two slips in place.

Players make their way out to the middle. It has got a bit cloudy, too. Interestingly, Australia will continue to bat.

Welcome back for the final session. Australia collected runs at a brisk pace in the second session and now they have reached an imposing total. Will Australia declare right after tea? Or continue to bat and pile on the misery on England?

For the hosts, Broad was impressive and was rewarded with the scalp of Mitchell Marsh in the second session. However, his pace colleague, James Anderson, has struggled for rhythm in this game. It will be interesting to see whether Australia will declare after Tea as they look to make inroads into England's batting line-up.

The hosts continued to take wickets in the second session. However, Australia are firmly in pole position. It was Steven Smith, who tormented the opposition ranks by twinning defence with improvisation. He was well supported by Peter Nevill at the other end. Smith then reached his first double ton. It was Joe Root, who eventually snared Smith's wicket.

Tea time! The players are off. When will Australia declare? Should be pretty soon I guess

147.6 - J Root to Johnson, 1 run, fired full outside off, squeezed out to the left of point, there is a fumble from Wood, still only a single

147.5 - J Root to Johnson, no run, slower and tossed up, inviting the big hit but Johnson pushes it back to Root

147.4 - J Root to Johnson, no run, very full and on the stumps, dug out to Root

147.3 - J Root to Johnson, no run, Root fires it in, seeing Johnson advance, the batsman almost yorked himself there, digs it out

147.2 - J Root to Johnson, byes, FOUR, no chance for Buttler down leg. Root slipped it down leg and Buttler despite moving across didn't get there. Runs away down the slope

Last over before tea

147.1 - J Root to Johnson, no run, punched off the back foot to mid-on

Over: 147	0 6 0 0 0 0	AUS 557/7

146.3 - Moeen Ali to Starc, no run, pushed back to the bowler

146.2 - Moeen Ali to Starc, SIX, good strike. Saw the tossed up delivery on the stumps and lifted it over wide long-on. Clean strike and went all the way. Used his reach to good effect there

146.1 - Moeen Ali to Starc, no run, Moeen Ali comes on from round the wicket, full on the stumps, clipped to short mid-wicket, stopped with a dive

Moeen Ali [35.0-4-132-1] is back into the attack

Johnson 11(22)	Starc 5(14)	Root 11-0-54-2

145.6 - J Root to Johnson, no run, quicker and on the pads, Johnson looks to drive and misses, would've gone down. Not sure whether he got an inside edge onto the pad there. Shouts of 'catch' as the ball rolled to the vacant silly point area

145.5 - J Root to Johnson, no run, clever from both Root and Johnson. Root saw Johnson advancing and fired it down leg, Johnson saw that the line was well outside leg, realised he cannot play a shot to that, so got the pad in the way. Well done. Prevented a possible stumping chance

145.4 - J Root to Starc, 1 run, tossed up outside off, Starc slogs and doesn't time it well, Stokes at mid-on sprints and then fields, athletic ability on display. Can't prevent the quick single though

145.3 - J Root to Starc, 2 runs, down leg, clipped away to fine leg, for an easy couple

145.2 - J Root to Starc, no run, sliding on, quicker on the stumps, Starc jams it out, inside edge before the ball hit pad. So the stifled appeal died down pretty quickly

Johnson 11(20)	Starc 2(10)	Mark Wood 28-7-92-1

144.6 - Mark Wood to Johnson, FOUR, thumped by Johnson. Stand and deliver stuff. It was bowled on a back of a length and outside off, enough width for Johnson to rock back and time the back foot punch. In the air but through cover-point for a lovely boundary

144.5 - Mark Wood to Johnson, no run, full and on the stumps, driven back to Mark Wood

Back round the wicket to Johnson

144.4 - Mark Wood to Starc, leg byes, 1 run, down leg, off the thigh pad and the diving Buttler deflects it away to fine leg. They take a leg bye

144.3 - Mark Wood to Johnson, 1 run, another cutter, full on the pads, flicked to deep mid-wicket

144.2 - Mark Wood to Johnson, no run, looks like that one stopped on Johnson, full and Johnson defends, taking the bottom hand off the bat handle after playing it. It was the cutter from Mark Wood, rolled his finger over the ball

144.1 - Mark Wood to Johnson, no run, full and angled in, targetting off, Johnson defends solidly showing a full face of the bat

Over: 144	0 2 0 0 0 0	AUS 542/7

142.5 - Mark Wood to Johnson, no run, now comes round the wicket and angles it in, short of length, defended off the back foot

142.4 - Mark Wood to Johnson, FOUR, clubbed! Full and outside off, Johnson stands still and hammers through the line wide of mid-off. Hit pretty hard and the fielder didn't even chase it. Starc liked that from Johnson and had a smile after the boundary

Clarke is in his whites and seen in a relaxed mood. He is munching on some cake and eagerly awaits the tea break. Plum cake - ooh delicious!

Starc 0(3)	Johnson 2(9)	Root 9-0-49-2

141.6 - J Root to Starc, no run, did that carry to Buttler? Even if it did it was a very tough chance. Starc saw the tossed up delivery outside off and slogged, got a thick under edge which was dying on Buttler, hits the pad of the keeper and dies down. Can't call that a drop, would be very harsh to do so

141.5 - J Root to Starc, no run, Starc pushes this quicker delivery to short cover

141.4 - J Root to Starc, no run, another appeal for lbw, but it seemed to be going down leg with the angle. There was also an inside edge there. It was a quicker delivery from Root, Starc comes forward, misses and is rapped on the pads after getting a thin edge. HotSpot picks up the edge showing it hit the bat first

Mitchell Starc, left handed bat, comes to the crease

141.3 - J Root to Nevill, out Caught by Moeen Ali!! Nevill's innings comes to an end. It was a tossed up delivery and bowled very full outside off, Nevill drives it uppishly to mid-off, Moeen, the fielder, dives forward and takes the catch with both hands, just inches above the ground. Moeen, the fielder, signalled to the batsman that he took it cleanly and the batsman accepted it. Good sportsman spirit on show. Nevill c Moeen Ali b J Root 45(59) [4s-5]

J Root to Nevill, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

141.2 - J Root to Johnson, 1 run, slightly slower in the air, Johnson punches it to long-on for another single

He brings out the reverse sweep to this flatter delivery, misses, is rapped on the pads, Root belts out an appeal and the umpire raises the finger. However, Smith goes up for the review, the replays show that the impact was umpire's call and it is hitting off-stump. So the on-field decision stays. Smith walks back to the pavilion to a standing ovation from the crowd. S Smith lbw b J Root 215(346) [4s-25 6s-1]

J Root to S Smith, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Another review has been taken and this time by Smith the batsman. He has been given out lbw. The front foot is fine. There is no inside edge. The ball-tracker shows the impact is umpire's call and it is hitting off-stump. So the on-field decision stays and Smith is out.

134.5 - Moeen Ali to S Smith, FOUR, There it is! Smith has done it. His maiden double hundred in Tests and what a moment that is. He emulates Jason Dizzy Gillespie who was the last Aussie to get a double hundred overseas. Gillespie did it in 2006 as a nightwatchman against Bangladesh. Would you believe that it was Gillespie who got a double hundred last for Australia overseas! Believe it now. Smith has corrected that stat today at the home of cricket - Lord's. What a place and what a ground to get your maiden double hundred. He will cherish this moment forever. He gets there with a whip off the pads, beating the dive of Stokes at mid-wicket. Timed too well for Stokes and the celebrations begin. Off comes the helmet and then he swings the bat wildly through the air. All the emotion coming out. Well appreciated by the crowd at Lord's. Another milestone ticked by the talented Smith

134.4 - Moeen Ali to S Smith, no run, tossed up outside off, Smith defends to point and looks for it, but it is not there

Joe Root [4.0-0-23-0] is back into the attack

Drinks are on the field now. England pegging Australia back with two wickets in that hour. Broad getting Voges and then Marsh. Meanwhile Smith chugs along nearing his maiden double ton. He was out for 199 against West Indies recently. Nervous 190s?

132.5 - Moeen Ali to Nevill, no run, tossed up delivery from Moeen Ali, defended off the front foot

132.4 - Moeen Ali to Nevill, no run, well, England take a review, but it turns out to be they were too optimistic. Moeen gets it to turn, Nevill tries to work it away through the on-side, misses and is rapped on the pads. On review, it turns out that the impact was in line, and the ball was just clipping the outside half of leg-stump

Cook has taken a review for LBW that is not given by Erasmus. The front foot is fine, there doesn't seem to be any bat involved and the ball tracking shows it is pitching in-line and it is clipping outside of leg-stump. So the on-field decision stands as it is umpire's call

The slip cordon is strengthened. Two slips in now..

Mitchell Marsh, right handed bat, comes to the crease

119.3 - Broad to Voges, out Caught by Buttler!! Just the start England would have hoped for. Voges has a look at the pitch and then makes the long walk back to the pavilion. It was a beauty from Broad. He goes wide of the crease, angles it in before getting it to straighten, Voges plays for the angle, comes forward to defend, the ball kisses the outside edge and settles neatly into Buttler's gloves. Dharmasena had his finger up in a flash. Voges c Buttler b Broad 25(47) [4s-5]

A leg slip in place..

118.2 - Moeen Ali to S Smith, 1 run, lovely use of the feet, dances down the wicket, meets the pitch of the ball and drives to deepish mid-off

118.1 - Moeen Ali to S Smith, no run, bit too full and around off, Smith squeezes the drive to short cover, picks out the fielder

The players make their way out to the middle. Moeen Ali has the ball, does a few warm-ups. A slip in place and off we go...

Welcome back for the second session. In the first session, despite losing a couple of wickets, Australia continued to march on. It was Steven Smith, who essayed a wide array of shots to keep the scorecard ticking. So can Australia post a monstrous total on the board? Or, will England peg them back by taking wickets?

For the hosts, it will be a case of trying to dry up the runs as much as they can. It already feels as if only one team can win from here and that is Australia. However, on an encouraging note for England, even though the track seems to have got a touch quicker today, it is still flat. England should fancy themselves of batting well, when they get a chance.

On the other hand, Smith continued to march on by playing a wide array of shots. He also reached his 150. Australia though, also lost the wicket of Michael Clarke. Clarke, looked all at sea at the crease and was eventually dismissed by Mark Wood. Smith and Adam Voges then, took Australia to lunch. Despite losing a couple of wickets, Australia certainly are in a position of strength. In the second session, one can expect them to score quicker as they try to set up the game.

England's bowlers put up a disciplined effort in the first session to peg the visitors back to some extent. Stuart Broad, in particular, gave a good account of himself by hitting good lengths and extracting movement off the surface to trouble the batsmen. He was rewarded with the wicket of Chris Rogers. However, England were able to dismiss Rogers, only after he and Smith had strung together a mammoth stand of 284. It is now the highest stand for the any wicket at Lord's.

That will be lunch on day 2. Players walk off after 28 overs of action in the day

109.6 - Stokes to Voges, no run, pitched up outside off, pushed back to Stokes

109.5 - Stokes to Voges, no run, we have the first review of the game. For an lbw appeal - not given by Dharmasena. Cook reluctantly went for the review. He initially suggested that Voges may have got an inside edge onto the pad but then signalled for the review. No bat on HotSpot and also Snicko confirms the same. Impact umpire's call and just clipping top of off. Dharmasena's decision stays. It nipped back in and missed the inside edge of Voges, two sounds was the ball brushing both pads. It was a marginal decision and went in favour of the batsman

109.4 - Stokes to Voges, no run, full outside off, dead-batted by Voges

109.3 - Stokes to S Smith, 1 run, shuffles across and clips this off stump delivery that is angled in, through mid-wicket

109.2 - Stokes to S Smith, FOUR, and when Stokes overpitches, Smith is good enough to cash in. Full and outside off, Smith thumps the drive through the off-side cordon, beats short cover on the way to the fence. Played on a bent knee and looked lovely as he essayed the stroke

109.1 - Stokes to S Smith, no run, Cook and Stokes were interested for a while but the England captain walks away after a chat. Angled in and rapped Smith on the thigh pad after he shuffled across. It was always going over and the replays show it to be true. Impact in-line but going over. Dharmasena getting it right once more

Adam Voges, right handed bat, comes to the crease

106.5 - Mark Wood to Clarke, out Caught by Ballance!! Soft, soft dismissal. Third time in three innings that Clarke has got out in a very uncharacteristic fashion. Short around off, Clarke splices the pull straight to the fielder at square leg. Ballance leaps and takes a comfortable catch. Mark Wood can't believe his luck, has a wry smile and covers his face with his hand. Clarke didn't roll his wrists on the shot and therefore didn't keep it down. Clarke c Ballance b Mark Wood 7(32)

Mark Wood to Clarke, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

106.4 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no run, in the air and well in front of square leg. Clarke is on the back foot and flicking it awkwardly, the ball was in the air but didn't carry

105.4 - Stokes to S Smith, no run, back to leaving is Smith as Stokes hits an outside off line

105.3 - Stokes to S Smith, FOUR, 150 for Smith. His dream run continues in Tests. Gets to the landmark with a punchy on-drive. Stokes bowls it on a fuller length outside off, Smith shuffles across and then times the drive, beats mid-on easily and it races away. A raise of the bat and a shake of the hand and he gets back to business. Well appreciated by the touring Fanatics and the Lord's crowd

105.2 - Stokes to Clarke, 1 run, full outside off, Clarke opens the face of the bat and square drives straight to Anderson at point, he fumbles and they take the single

105.1 - Stokes to Clarke, no run, pitched up outside off, left alone

Still the pitch is slow but looks like it has quickened up a little from yesterday. No signs of Moeen today. He might come on after the drinks break

Time for a drink and today's opening hour has been relatively good progress for England. They bowled much tighter with Broad leading the way. Rogers after a few driven boundaries, dragged one on - missing out on a double ton in the process. Clarke and Smith have made slow progress after Rogers' wicket. Broad beat the bat often and was unlucky not to have got more wickets

Broad's spell is over. Bowled well and got the deserved wicket of Rogers. Tested both Clarke and Smith too in that spell. On a different day, so easily could've had more wickets to show for

103.1 - Stokes to Clarke, no run, good length outside off, Clarke defends to backward point with an open face

Ben Stokes [13.0-0-55-0] is back into the attack

102.6 - Mark Wood to S Smith, leg byes, 2 runs, sliding down leg, Smith misses the flick and off the thigh pad, Moeen has more work to do and saves the boundary. Two leg byes

102.5 - Mark Wood to S Smith, 2 runs, the ball is tailing back in for Mark Wood, reverse happening out there, but the line is too straight, allows Smith to wrist it to deep mid-wicket for two more runs

102.4 - Mark Wood to S Smith, no run, pitched up outside off, Smith gets forward to dead-bat

Just the two slips in now

102.3 - Mark Wood to Clarke, 1 run, the line is too straight and Clarke clips it to the right of mid-on

102.2 - Mark Wood to Clarke, 2 runs, full and swinging in, flicked to deep square leg, Moeen has a long way to cover and does so

Mark Wood off a short run. Not sure if he is 100%. Seems to be struggling with an ankle problem

101.5 - Broad to S Smith, no run, full and nipping back in, doesn't threaten off, easy leave

101.4 - Broad to S Smith, no run, Broad has beat the bat often today. Another one that goes past the outside edge. On a short of length and holds its line to miss the back foot defence of the shuffling Smith. Broad closes his eyes in disappointment

101.3 - Broad to Clarke, 1 run, full on the pads, flicked to deep backward square leg, for a single

101.2 - Broad to S Smith, 1 run, wide of the crease and angled in on middle and leg, clipped to deep backward square leg, just the single on offer

99.6 - Broad to Clarke, no run, full on the stumps, driven well but mid-on dives to his left to field and that is an excellent maiden over from Broad

99.5 - Broad to Clarke, no run, beaten for pace there. Maybe Clarke is thinking about the short one. This time he is stuck to the crease and pushes at one angled in, extra bounce taking it past the outside edge. Clarke has a wry smile after Broad outwitted him. This is a testing over from Broad

99.4 - Broad to Clarke, no run, pitched up on the stumps, Clarke shows the full face of the bat and drives it back to Broad who fields

99.3 - Broad to Clarke, no run, that's the delivery. Almost an edge. Full and outswinging, Clarke's feet are stuck as he looks to drive and his leaden-footed waft meets thin air. Not far from taking the outside edge

99.2 - Broad to Clarke, no run, pitched up outside off, Clarke is on the front foot and defends to covers

98.4 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, angled across Smith who shuffles and then lets it go

98.3 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, full and outside off, angled across, easily left alone

Still Anderson round the wicket

98.2 - J Anderson to S Smith, FOUR, emphatic pull. Dug in short with no real pace. Around the chest area, Smith swivels and pulls to the deep backward square leg fence, almost went all the way

98.1 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, full and Smith leans into a fabulous off-drive, but Broad sliding across from mid-off cuts it off

97.5 - Broad to Clarke, 2 runs, full and on the stumps, Clarke clips it to deep mid-wicket for two. Smith is sent back as he wanted the third

97.4 - Broad to Clarke, no run, beautiful delivery. Angled in and then moved away past the outside edge and the off stump, was heading towards off stump and that made Clarke play at that

97.3 - Broad to Clarke, no run, pitched up outside off, nipped back in a little, Clarke gets forward to defend and gets a thick inside edge onto pad, ball rolls to the left of short leg

A short leg in for Clarke immediately against Broad

95.5 - Broad to Clarke, no run, angled in on the stumps, Clarke defends to mid-on and there is no quick single on offer

The 284-run stand between Chris Rogers and Smith was the best for any wicket at Lord's. Also Australia's best partnership at Lord's. Taylor and Slater had put on 260 for the opening wicket in 1993. So a couple of stats that should make the Aussies very happy

Michael Clarke, right handed bat, comes to the crease

95.4 - Broad to Chris Rogers, out Bowled!! Inside edge and gone. End of Chris Rogers. He walks off to a standing ovation. This was full and swung in a little, on the stumps, Chris Rogers' feet didn't move, he looked for another drive but the ball took the inside edge and then pad before falling on the stumps. A mammoth stand has been broken. Chris Rogers b Broad 173(300) [4s-28]

Broad to Chris Rogers, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

95.3 - Broad to Chris Rogers, FOUR, Chris Rogers has driven very well. Well in control of that again as Broad overpitches, he eases it past a diving cover, once it beat the fielder it raced away

95.2 - Broad to S Smith, 1 run, angled in on the hips, Smith shuffles across and clips it to fine leg, for an easy single

95.1 - Broad to S Smith, no run, full and outside off, Smith's hands come through as he looks to drive and the thick inside edge squirts to leg, the balance was shot as he looked to play away from the body

94.1 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, angling in, but starts leg and goes down further, Smith flicks and misses. Good take by Buttler

93.3 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, Broad cuts Chris Rogers in half with a ball that nipped back in a little, Chris Rogers was looking to defend and the ball went under the bat, missing the inside edge. Looked awkward there while playing at it

93.2 - Broad to Chris Rogers, 2 runs, short of length on the hips, nudged to deep backward square leg, for an easy couple

93.1 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, loud appeal for lbw but that has pitched outside leg. Dharmasena immediately shook his head. It pitched outside leg and rapped Chris Rogers on the pads, Broad was excited and even had a look at Cook but there was nothing from the England captain. Replays confirming where the ball pitched

92.5 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, half an appeal for lbw but the ball has clipped the back of the bat after Smith shuffled across to a full ball outside off, he was squared up a tad and played awkwardly at that, the ball clips the bat and then the pad. HotSpot confirming the edge

92.4 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, Smith pulls the bat inside the line as Anderson hits a short of length outside off. He shuffled across and then didn't play at that

92.3 - J Anderson to S Smith, FOUR, too full from Anderson and Smith leans into the cover drive. Opened the bat face and got it in the gap through cover. Raced away

92.2 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, short of length on the stumps, Smith shuffles across and turns it to mid-wicket, wants the quick single but Chris Rogers isn't interested. A loud shout of 'no, no' from Rogers

90.3 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, that should give him confidence, Anderson overpitches outside off and Chris Rogers plays the drive late and beats a diving Lyth from extra cover, leant on the stroke and eased it in the gap

90.2 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, well wide of off and easily left alone

Rogers is ok to continue and that is good news. No change in helmet. Two slips and a gully as Anderson continues from round the wicket

Slight delay as the physio has a look at his ear. Rogers offers a smile and looks like he is bleeding from the blow. Yes he is. The physio is seen wiping off the blood with a cotton wool. Remember in West Indies he was hit by a local bowler in the nets and was concussed. He pulled out of the two matches due to a concussion. Hope he is alright. Dharmasena oversees what the physio is up to

90.1 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, hello! Chris Rogers has been hit on the side of the helmet first ball. Anderson asks him whether he is alright. Rogers removes his helmet and has a look. Just hit below the right ear. Painful blow and the physio is out

Anderson to Rogers first up

The players walk out through the Long Room with the members in their egg and bacon ties suited and booted for the occasion. Another sunny day and the weather forecast is perfect for the first four days of this Ashes Test. England need wickets and quickly or else more hard work awaits their bowlers

Pitch report: It is very dry and natural wear and tear is happening. Lyon will come into the picture a lot more when Australia bowl. Also the footmarks from the two left-armers - Johnson and Starc will help Lyon. The main part of the pitch is still fantastic for batting.

So, we have to wait and watch to see whether England can make a sterling comeback on day 2 or will Australia continue to stamp their authority on the proceedings. Stay tuned for all the action.

Interestingly, Smith in his press conference, criticised England's field placements by saying, "Look I was a little bit surprised that Trevor Bayliss would allow Alastair Cook to have a deep point for as long as he did today to be honest. I think it was a good pitch to bat on but they got defensive quite quickly. I know that's one thing we're certainly not going to do."

"With a technique custom-made for pitches on which the ball seams about, swings in the air and wobbles uncontrollably under low cloud, his capacity to hold fire on his strokes until the ball is aligned beneath the peak of his batting helmet had him inked in for this series months in advance."

Andrew Ramsay, penning his views for the Cricket Australia website, believed that Rogers' technique was suited to English conditions. "Rogers, who will turn 38 in the week following the final Test at The Oval, is renowned as a specialist in English conditions as his proud service record for Middlesex – the county team that calls Lord's its home patch – so tellingly attests."

He added: "If I was Australia, I'd bat sensibly and that'd give them the best part of 90 runs by lunch. That gets them to 420 and it'll then be lovely for them to attack the softer ball in the afternoon and take the bowling apart."

Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott expressed his views for BBC radio by saying, "If Australia try and get there too quickly tomorrow, they might get themselves out and they won't get as many as they want.'

Vic Marks, writing for The Guardian, too, was critical of the way the track behaved at Lord's. At the same time, he praised Rogers and Smith for stitching a heart-stirring stand. He said, "The ball behaved decorously; Rogers and Smith, recognising conditions in their favour, batted superbly, effortlessly exorcising the horrors of Cardiff to the extent that after only one day it is practically impossible for England to win this game."

Sir Ian Botham, writing for The Daily Mirror, credited Australia for bouncing back after their disappointing show in the 1st Test. However, he wondered whether they could take 20 wickets on a placid track. He said, "On an easy-paced pitch like this, once you get in, it is very hard to get out. It could be 500 plays 500 and that doesn't leave too much space to force a result if England bat the way they should."

Here is a compilation of opinions and views expressed by cricket pundits in the media.

For a moment, if we take a trip down memory lane, Hedley Verity spun a web around the Australian batsmen and piloted the hosts to an innings win against Australia at Lord's in 1934. However, for the next 75 years and 18 Tests, the visitors remained undefeated at the holy grail of cricket: Lord's. It was only in 2009 that England were able to overcome their arch-rivals at the ground. So, yesterday's superb show by Smith and Rogers certainly rekindled memories of Australia's dominance at Lord's.

Hello and a very warm welcome to our ball-by-ball coverage of the second day's play of the Test between England and Australia at Lord's. Yesterday, Steven Smith and Chris Rogers dominated the proceedings by stringing together an unbroken stand of 259 for the second wicket. Both the batsmen played with a touch of calm countenance, and a relaxed gait at the crease. Initially, Rogers was more fluent of the two, but once Smith got set, he explored every nook and corner of the ground with a wide array of shots. The nimble crispness of his footwork made for great viewing. For the hosts, none of the bowlers impressed on a flat deck. James Anderson and Stuart Broad found a wee bit of movement in the air and off the deck, but either of them couldn't take a single wicket. David Warner was the only batsman to be dismissed, but it has to be said that he gifted his wicket away to Moeen Ali.

England didn't have much to work with and even though Cook set "funky" fields as Shane Warne calls them, it was all in hope of getting a wicket rather than any genuine assistance from the pitch. After a disappointing match at Cardiff, Australia have had a strong comeback and with the pitch expected to stay dry it will bring Nathan Lyon into the game as England are scheduled to bat last on this. Day 2 should see more runs. Will the pitch quicken up? Let's wait and watch. We will be there quite early to bring you all the action. Do join us for that. Until then it's bye bye from us all.

Smith on the other hand struggled a bit for timing initially and should've been out but for Bell's drop at 2nd slip off Stokes. As the innings progressed came those silky smooth drives and the twinkle-toed footwork against the spinners. Often he shuffled across outside off and put balls from the fourth and fifth stump line through the on-side. Smith was the first to reach his hundred as he overtook his partner to the landmark despite coming in at one-drop.

Chris Rogers who had got seven fifties in eight innings before today finally reached the three figure mark and celebrated in uncharacteristic fashion with a loud yell and a fist pump. Shows how much it meant to Bucky as he carved his name on the Honours Board at his adopted home. He played for many years at this very ground for Middlesex and used his vast experience of knowing these conditions to register a big score. As far as I can recall the only half-chance he gave in his innings today was when he edged one over the third slip fielder early on. Apart from that he didn't put a foot wrong.

So England's ploy of preparing a slow seamer at Lord's has backfired spectacularly. At least so far going by what one saw on day 1. Australia utterly dominant at the end of the day after winning the toss and batting. David Warner was the only man to fall and he gifted his wicket away to Moeen Ali - trying to loft the spinner out of the ground. Chris Rogers and Steven Smith with hundreds and they look good to rack up much more. The ball didn't swing, seam or do anything off the placid Lord's pitch and Australia made merry.

Anderson and Moeen Ali went up to Smith and Rogers and congratulated them for exhibiting sheer class and patience throughout the day.

89.4 - Broad to Chris Rogers, 2 runs, did that carry? No, it didn't. Maybe the slowness of the pitch didn't allow the ball to carry to the slip cordon.

Lucky escape for Rogers

Welcome back for the final session. Chris Rogers' patient-vigil at the crease has certainly put Australia in the ascendancy. Can England take a slew of wickets and make a comeback or will the visitors continue to pile on the runs?

Soon Ben Stokes found Smith's outside edge, but Ian Bell wasn't ready to accept the offer and put down the catch. Tea would have tasted much better for England if they had dismissed Smith and the bowlers now need to work really hard to stop Australia from strengthening their position in the final session. Take a break and join us back at 16:00 local for all the action.

Tea, Day 1: The Australian captain stands and applauds in the dressing room. 87/0 in that session, a fruitful one for Australia. Both Rogers and Smith began cautiously as England bowled a tight line after the lunch break. Rogers then recorded his 13th Test fifty, also his 7th Ashes fifty. This was Rogers' 8th fifty in his last 9 innings as well. The hosts bowled a 5th, 6th stump line on a consistent basis to Smith and kept him calm, but the 26-year-old managed to register his 12th Test fifty.

Broad will resume after lunch. Two slips and a silly mid-off in place..

Right, we are back after lunch. Not the kind of pitch Cook and his England team would have wanted. A lovely strip to bat on and Australia have made the perfect start - despite Warner's brainfade. It's time to consolidate now. Can Rogers and Smith push on?

Steve Smith, currently ranked No. 2 in the rankings for Test batsmen, joined Rogers at the crease and duo treated the bowling on merit. James Anderson got the ball to swing a bit more in his second spell, but was unable to give England a breakthrough. Australia have enjoyed a great morning session and with the pitch being batsmen-friendly, they would want to make good use of the conditions in the post-lunch session. Join us back at 13:40 local for all the action.

Alastair Cook, forced to make regular bowling changes due to Australia's approach, threw the ball to Moeen Ali for the first over after the drinks break. Warner came at Moeen straightaway and smacked his first two deliveries to the boundary. 10 runs had already come off the over, but Warner got greedy and holed out to deep mid-off as he gave the charge to the bowler and mistimed a lofted hit.

Opting to bat first on a pretty good surface to bat on, Chris Rogers and David Warner got Australia off to a sensational start by playing some aggressive shots. The new ball did not do much for England, but generally the bowlers did not hit the right areas on a consistent basis. Soon, Australia amassed 68 runs in the first hour. In the process, Rogers and Warner recorded their 13th 50+ stand in Tests.

Chris Rogers walks of with purpose, bat tucked under his armpit. Clarke and the rest of the Aussies applaud that opening session by clapping. Players are off for lunch

14.6 - Moeen Ali to Warner, out Caught by J Anderson!! Warner gifts his wicket away. 'It is a disappointing dismissal David' says Ricky Ponting on air. He is right. There was no need to play that shot. He had already dominated Moeen Ali and looks for the big hit again. Moeen Ali does him in flight, dropping the ball short of the advancing Warner who skews the loft towards mid-off. Anderson backtracks from mid-off and holds onto a good catch. He made it look simple but that's how good Anderson is as a fielder. The complete athlete. Replays show that Warner got it off the outside half of the bat.

Moeen Ali, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Already the Duke ball is getting scuffed up and we can see one side beginning to get rough. Reverse swing could come into play soon and will be a huge factor as the game goes on

That's the first hour done and it will be drinks. Good toss to win for Australia. A batting wicket by the looks of it. There is little swing - nothing more than that - on offer and after an uncertain start both Chris Rogers and Warner have played pleasing strokes. Two of them from Warner stood out including a checked forward defence for four. England quickly realised the folly of keeping too many attacking fielders and have gone defensive

12.6 - Mark Wood to Warner, FOUR, forward defence for four! Nothing more than that and it's four through cover. Again Warner showing off his timing and skill. Stands there and just defends off the front foot. The ball pings off the middle of the bat and races away. Warner held the pose after playing that. Bit of aggro from the muscular Warner

12.5 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, 'wait on' is the cry from Warner after he hops and cuts. Stokes at point makes a good stop as the ball was travelling

11.5 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, what timing from Chris Rogers. Flicked off the hips and the ball is racing across the turf, Mark Wood sprints a long way from fine leg and dives to try and stop it. The ball deflects off his elbow and hits the ad-cushions. The timing was pristine that time from Chris Rogers

11.4 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, byes, FOUR, the inswinger goes wrong and Buttler had no chance diving to his right. Well down leg and called four byes. Buttler didn't like the umpire's call. He wanted it to be signalled wides

9.5 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, full and on the stumps, clipped straight to the fielder at mid-on

9.4 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, pitched up outside off, Chris Rogers reaches out and makes a late decision to drive, the ball takes the toe end and rolls to the slips

9.3 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, just about carries to Buttler after Chris Rogers leaves. That didn't bounce at all. Signs of variable bounce?

9.2 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, full outside off, Chris Rogers shoulders arms

9.1 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, how did that miss off? Chris Rogers is on the walking drive and is beaten all ends up. Full and the slope brings the ball back in, Chris Rogers plays a loose drive and the ball missed the inside edge. Not far away from hitting off. Broad thought he had his man and wore a puzzled look on his face

8.6 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, well wide of off and that is an easy leave

8.5 - Mark Wood to Warner, FOUR, fraction short on the stumps, Warner is onto it in a flash and rockets a pull through mid-wicket. Rocked back and then put it away

8.4 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, much more sensible. Sees the line is outside off and then leaves

8.3 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, tentative from Warner. He stayed beside the line and tried to steer a delivery that was angled across him. Nothing shot that with so many slips waiting. Luckily he doesn't feather a nick behind

8.1 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, skiddy from Mark Wood, short and wide outside off, Warner looks to cut as he reaches out but the ball goes under the bat of the attempted shot

7.1 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, short of length outside off, Chris Rogers defends it to the right of the bowler. Was a tad squared up but played it down

5.5 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, dug in short on the stumps, Chris Rogers ducks under that

5.3 - Broad to Warner, 1 run, full and down leg, Warner gets an inside edge onto the pads as he looks to flick and the ball rolls to deep backward square leg for a single

5.2 - Broad to Warner, no run, full and Warner gets forward to push to the right of mid-off who is a bit straight

5.1 - Broad to Warner, no run, Warner is having trouble against Broad. Again he wants to shoulder arms to an outside off delivery but the ball takes the toe end of the hanging blade and goes on the bounce to the keeper. Broad felt he had his man there

4.6 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, bouncer, Chris Rogers ducks under that

4.5 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, streaky from Chris Rogers. Full and down leg, Chris Rogers was shaping to flick, was early into the shot and the leading edge didn't carry. Fell just short of the bowler

4.4 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, angled in and then it holds its line after hitting the seam, Chris Rogers pulls the bat inside the line and lets it go

4.3 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, angled in, towards middle and leg, raps Chris Rogers on the thigh, was going down though

4.2 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, good short delivery and Chris Rogers played that pretty well. Even though he was on the hop and fending out a little, he played that down and in the gap between third slip and gully. Once it went into the gap it was four to the vacant third man fence

4.1 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, short of length outside off, Chris Rogers defends to a straightish mid-off and looks for a quick single, isn't there

Anderson has decided to come round the wicket to Chris Rogers. He did that at Cardiff too

3.6 - Broad to Warner, no run, full on the stumps, pushed back to Broad who threatens to shy without collecting the ball

3.5 - Broad to Chris Rogers, 1 run, too straight, Chris Rogers tucks it to fine leg, and takes a single

This pitch has good carry. Quite unlike what one saw on day 1 at Cardiff. But from day 2 the pitch quickened up at Cardiff. This one doesn't have the greenish tinge that one saw against New Zealand but still sufficient assistance for the fast bowlers. Not one ball has failed to carry to the keeper so far - which we saw at Cardiff

3.4 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, well wide of off, Chris Rogers won't play at that

3.3 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, pushed across Chris Rogers, left alone

3.2 - Broad to Warner, 1 run, another good delivery. Warner isn't expecting the ball to swing in, is caught on the crease and since it swung in late towards middle, it catches the inside edge of Warner's bat and then hits the thigh and rolls to leg. The batsmen take a single

3.1 - Broad to Warner, no run, was that the attempted yorker? Looked like it. It turned out to be a low full toss, Warner drove it and a good diving stop to his left at gully. Saved some runs there

The sun has come out now. Perfect conditions to play cricket in

2.5 - J Anderson to Warner, no run, Warner wanted to leave that, but was late in doing so, the ball hits the bat and rolls to the left of gully

Erasmus is on Anderson's case again. He gave him an official warning in the last Test for running on the danger area. He is having a close look at where Anderson's feet land

2.3 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, tight line on off stump, Chris Rogers leans into a defensive push to mid-off

1.1 - Broad to Warner, no ball, down leg, but Broad has overstepped. Well spotted by Dharmasena

0.6 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, starts outside off, moves further away, Chris Rogers doesn't play at that

0.5 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, nothing streaky about that. Lovely drive. Controlled too. Head over the ball, the feet moved in line and the bat came through to meet it, sends it wide of mid-off and the ball raced away. The balance was spot on that time when Chris Rogers played that

0.4 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, pushes this well wide of off, left alone

0.3 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, edged and over third slip! Chris Rogers is off the mark with a scratchy shot. Full and outside off, Chris Rogers went for the drive and got a healthy edge, Root at third slip tried to take an overhead catch but the ball went flying over his hands. Didn't even get a finger on it

0.2 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, pitched up outside off, looking for swing, Chris Rogers gets forward and square drives, hits it well but straight to the fielder at point

0.1 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, starts it on middle and leg, Chris Rogers defends easily

Chris Rogers and Warner are at the crease. Chris Rogers is on strike. J Anderson will open the attack

The England players walk through the Long Room and then down the stairs onto the ground. Out come Davey Warner and Chris Rogers. Cook and Co. form a huddle as both the Aussie openers pass them. They break out and take their positions. Rogers marks his guard, Anderson has the new ball in his hands. Here we go!

Warner is running off the field. So that's a sign that Australia will bat again. Australia needed just 43 balls after tea to wipe off the English tail. Moeen Ali was the first go as Josh Hazlewood trapped him plumb in front. Soon Mark Wood was castled by Hazlewood, before Mitchell Johnson found the outside edge of Broad to close England's first essay. Australia have gained a massive 254-run lead. They would want to add at least 200 more before England bat again.

90.1 - Johnson to Broad, out Caught by (sub)S Marsh!! England are bowled out for 312. That was a good catch by Marsh at first slip. For a moment he thought Clarke would go for it at second slip, but reacted just in time to move to his left and reverse-cup it. Broad once again plays away from the body as looks to drive and gets a thick outside edge to this full delivery. Broad c (sub)S Marsh b Johnson 21(45) [4s-1]

89.2 - Hazlewood to J Anderson, no run, good length delivery angling away from the left-hander, Anderson lifts his bat and lets it go

89.1 - Hazlewood to J Anderson, FOUR, no one at mid-on and that's a safe shot! Full and swinging back in, Anderson doesn't try to do anything fancy, just presents the full face of the bat and plays a punchy-drive

Ever since that Johnson toe-crusher at the WACA during the 2013-14 Ashes series, Broad's lost his batting. He's not making an effort to get behind the line or move his feet, hops around all the time and throws the kitchen sink more often than not.

Third wicket for Hazlewood. Mark Wood b Hazlewood 4(7) [4s-1]

Hazlewood to Mark Wood, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

87.4 - Hazlewood to Broad, 1 run, short but not short enough to trouble Broad, pulled to deep square leg

85.4 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, out Lbw!! That was absolutely plumb in front. As soon as Hazlewood appeals, it was more of a running appeal as he was so sure about this, umpire Kumar Dharmasena nods and raises his finger. Nothing but an inswinger on a good length from Hazlewood, once again lazy footwork from Moeen Ali, he doesn't get forward to this ball, hangs in the crease and tries to keep it out, but misses and the ball hits him right in front of middle stump. Hawk-Eye shows that the ball would have hit middle stump. Moeen Ali lbw b Hazlewood 39(57) [4s-5 6s-1]

Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

A reluctant review for LBW from Moeen Ali. He knows he's out. "It's a fair delivery, can we have Hot Spot leg-side please? Happy that there's no bat. Kumar, impact is in-line and hitting the stumps. Stay with your decision, well done Kumar," says third umpire Chris Gaffaney.

85.3 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, no run, lazy from Moeen Ali! He feels for this short of length delivery that was angled across, wasn't sure about playing at it, just pokes at it and gets beaten

85.2 - Hazlewood to Broad, 1 run, oops! Broad almost loses balance as he tries to pull this short ball, in fact he falls on the ground after completing the shot, luckily doesn't fall on the stumps. The pull goes to long leg

85.1 - Hazlewood to Broad, 2 runs, flicked away uppishly, off the bottom of the bat though. Full and on the leg stump from Hazlewood, Broad sends it through mid-wicket for a couple of runs

Hands on head for Starc

Mitch Starc it will be with three slips and short leg

83.1 - Hazlewood to Broad, no run, gentle inswing on this fullish ball, Broad works it carefully towards short leg

Welcome back for the final session.. England need 82 more to avoid the follow-on. Can Broad & Co. support Moeen Ali? Australia will fancy their chances with the new ball. We are all set for the action to begin. Hazlewood to begin with three slips and a short leg..

Australia will look to wrap up the innings as quickly as possible. If they get a chance to enforce the follow-on, will they go for it on a flat deck is something one has to wait and watch.

For the visitors, it was Mitchell Marsh, who turned out to be the unlikely hero. Before this Test, Marsh had snared just one wicket and that too at an average of 164. However, today, he has already picked up a couple of crucial wickets. Mitchell Johnson bowled with zest and vigour, but was unlucky not to add to the two wickets he picked up yesterday. Jos Buttler edged one to Peter Nevill, the wicket-keeper. Nevill made a great attempt to take the catch, but replays showed that the ball had just touched the ground. Steven Smith, too, dropped a tough chance off Johnson to give Cook a reprieve.

In the second session, Australia made vital breakthroughs to take a vice-like grip on the proceedings. For a brief period, it seemed like Alastair Cook, with his patient-vigil at the crease, would take the hosts past the follow-on mark. However, just in the nick of time, Mitchell Marsh snared the prized scalp of Cook. Cook missed out on compiling a ton by a mere four runs. Moeen Ali is still at the crease, but he needs the support of the lower-order batsmen to get to as close as they possibly can to Australia's monstrous first innings score.

Coming to the ball, this was slightly fuller and wide of off, it stayed low too, Cook who left those balls all day was tempted to play at that, maybe he was thinking about his hundred. He chased the ball and the inside edge clattered the stumps. Mitchell Marsh is pumped and so are the Australians. Mitch Marsh is yet to pick a right-hander's wicket in Test matches though. Cook b M Marsh 96(233) [4s-13]

77.5 - Lyon to Moeen Ali, no run, this might well be a tactical review from Australia, tossed up nicley on middle and leg, Ali fails to lay a bat as he came slightly forward to push at it, a loud appeal and Dharmasena signals "no" straightway. His verdict proved to be right though

Australia review an lbw decision against Ali. "That's a fair delivery, it looks like just pad, RTS please, happy no bat there, ball tracking - impact is in line and pitching in line and isssssss just clipping leg (marginally)" says Chris Gaffaney. Since it was umpire's call Moeen Ali survives, Lyon was not happy with Dharmasena's decision

Buttler failed to make most of the lucky reprieve he had, the pitch is playing a few tricks now and it will only get worse as the match wears on.

A slip, silly point and a FSL in place

Moeen Ali, left handed bat, comes to the crease

65.1 - Lyon to Buttler, out Caught by Nevill!! Buttler walks! Lyon has struck with his first delivery, he wasn't convinced there was a nick, Nevill was more interested in effecting a stumping. The loudest appeals came from the two slips and umpire Dharmasena points out that the batsman has already walked. Nicely bowled by Lyon, tossed up just outside off, lures Buttler into the forward push, he was playing for the turn, this one went straight on, gets a faint edge and Nevill does the rest. Big wicket for Australia, Buttler could have been very dangerous. Buttler c Nevill b Lyon 13(26) [4s-3]

59.6 - Johnson to Buttler, no run, that was close! Nevill doesn't look happy, but the evidence on TV showed that the ball hit the ground after Nevill completed the catch. A lucky escape for Buttler. This was a lovely delivery from Johnson, pitched up and nipped away a fraction, drew Buttler into the forward push, the edge is found. It went low and to the right of the keeper, it wasn't carrying across to first slip. Nevill dived full length and grabs the ball with his right mitt. As he completed the catch, the ball just touched the ground. Nevill didn't realize it, he was in full control, but it remains NOT OUT

Nevill is claiming the catch, there's a nick for sure, did Nevill catch it cleanly? He certainly thinks so, the third umpire will have a look. The soft signal is OUT. Fair delivery, looks like the ball might just have touched the ground. The third umpire says it's conclusive that the ball has touched the ground, the decision is NOT OUT. Loud cheers from the crowd, Clarke isn't pleased and has a chat with umpire Erasmus

Johnson is quick to get across, has a shy at the bowler's end and misses, could have been close had he hit, the reaction of the fielder at cover certainly said so

Clarke leads the Australian team huddle. The umpires walk out and we are ready for the restart. Mitchell Johnson will resume for Australia. Two slips, a leg slip and a short mid-wicket in place.

Welcome back.. Just one wicket in the first session, but Australia can open up one end if they strike early after lunch. How long can Cook resist? Will the remaining batsmen support their skipper?

Marsh forced Stokes to drag the first ball of his 4th over onto the leg stump to delight the visitors. Stokes, who was playing exceptional cricket, almost unwillingly dragged himself off the field as the Lord's crowd gave him a great ovation. Jos Buttler then joined the captain at the crease and ensured that no more damage was done. Lunch would have tasted much better for England had they not lost the wicket of Stokes, but they've got to leave that behind now and fight hard in the post-lunch session. Australia's bowlers will also have to toil hard as the pitch is quite flat. Join us back at 13:40 local for all the action.

With the pitch offering nothing to the bowlers, Australia worked really hard, but the English duo were hardly troubled. As the day progressed, Stokes recorded his third consecutive fifty plus score at Lord's this summer. He had earlier made and 92 and 101 at the home of cricket a few months ago in the Test match against New Zealand. While the Durham all-rounder played aggressive cricket, Cook was calm and composed at the other end. Soon, Test fifty number 43 came his way. The 5th wicket partnership, which was well over 100, put England back on track but Michael Clarke made a clever bowling change as he threw the ball to Mitchell Marsh.

"Big 15 minutes to lunch," said Mike Atherton on air before Mitchell Marsh got ready to bowl his second over of the day. "Curse of the commentator?," was the response from Ian Botham and a few seconds later, the 54-overs-old Dukes ball shattered Ben Stokes' leg stump. It was turning out to be a great morning session for England, who resumed the day at a precarious 85/4. Both Stokes and skipper Alastair Cook showed great application.

56.3 - Starc to Cook, 1 run, again well-run. On a good length and outside off, Cook presses it towards cover and goes. Buttler responded well too

56.2 - Starc to Cook, no run, full outside off, left alone

This will be the last over before lunch and four slips in for Starc

56.1 - Starc to Buttler, 1 run, quick single taken as Buttler defends in front of cover and sets off

Mitchell Starc [12.0-1-41-1] is back into the attack

Cook 55(165)	Buttler 4(5)	Johnson 12-6-31-2

55.6 - Johnson to Cook, no run, a rip-snorter that and well played by Cook. Short outside off at 87mph, Cook dropped his gloves and left it alone. Was on the hop a little as he smelt the leather of the ball as it flew past his nose

55.5 - Johnson to Cook, no run, angled in and on the stumps, clipped to mid-wicket

55.4 - Johnson to Cook, no run, back of a length and on the stumps, Cook in line to block

55.3 - Johnson to Cook, no run, short of length on the stumps, solidly blocked by Cook

Will Johnson go short again?

The physio is having a word with Cook who is seen moving his left-hand around. He is a tough man and gets ready to continue. On comes the helmet and he shadow-practices a couple of forward defences. Says he is fine and off goes the physio

55.2 - Johnson to Cook, no run, that has hit Cook on the elbow. He calls for the physio. Lifter outside off, Cook was shaping to leave and while doing so, the ball thudded into the bottom of the elbow. He is not wearing any protection and the physio comes on to have a look

Leg-slip in now

55.1 - Johnson to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, clipped to mid-wicket

54.4 - M Marsh to Buttler, no run, back of a length outside off, Buttler punches and finds backward point

Jos Buttler, right handed bat, comes to the crease

54.1 - M Marsh to Stokes, out Bowled!! Marsh is pumped. He does the trick for Australia. Kept a bit low and Stokes has dragged it on. Stokes misses out on a Lord's ton. But he has one already here. This was angled across Stokes, the low bounce meant that the inside edge was found while Stokes tried to defend, clatters into leg stump and knocks it out. Stokes is a dejected man but has to depart the scene. Stokes b M Marsh 87(128) [4s-13 6s-1]

M Marsh to Stokes, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Cook 55(159)	Stokes 87(127)	Johnson 11-5-31-2

53.5 - Johnson to Cook, no run, brings the radar back towards off, solidly blocked off the front foot

53.4 - Johnson to Cook, byes, FOUR, no chance for Nevill. First byes conceded by the debutant in the match. No fault of his though. Johnson went for the inswinging yorker and slipped it well down leg, beats the dive of the keeper and races away

53.3 - Johnson to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, clipped well but Lyon at short mid-wicket dives to his left to stop

53.2 - Johnson to Cook, no run, wide of the crease and angled in, Cook covers off and defends to mid-on

52.6 - M Marsh to Stokes, FOUR, fraction short outside off and Stokes gets four more. Got on top of the bounce and cut it wide of Lyon at backward point. Once it went down the hill, there was no way Lyon could've stopped that

52.5 - M Marsh to Stokes, FOUR, Stokes gets lucky! Went after a full and wide delivery outside off, the thick outside edge flew over the slips and wide of gully. Right between the two men. There is no third slip and it raced away. Still no third man

52.4 - M Marsh to Stokes, no run, probing away in the corridor of uncertainty is Marsh, Stokes resists for now

51.4 - S Smith to Cook, 2 runs, high full toss, whipped to deep mid-wicket and it is a couple

47.6 - Lyon to Cook, 3 runs, very full on the stumps, clipped through mid-wicket. That will be fifty for Cook. Hazlewood pulls it back with a chase. They take three and that three brings up his 43rd Test fifty. 10th Ashes fifty. Again Lord's applaud and Cook gets a handshake from Stokes

Four men in now for Cook around the bat

47.5 - Lyon to Cook, no run, tossed up on the stumps, Cook defends to short mid-wicket

Now a leg-slip in for Cook

44.4 - Starc to Stokes, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Stokes punches to the left of Pat Cummins - who is on for David Warner - the sub does well to dive and make a half-stop. Can't prevent the single though

44.2 - Starc to Stokes, 2 runs, too straight and clipped wide of short mid-wicket for a couple of runs

44.1 - Starc to Stokes, no run, keeps low and goes under Stokes' bat. It was not in line with the stumps, Stokes tried to chop it down and failed

Time for drinks. Opening hour done and England have been largely untroubled during that phase. The pitch is playing very true and both batsmen have looked comfortable at the crease. Australia will dig in and look to play the patience game. Let's see how the second hour goes

43.2 - Lyon to Cook, 1 run, flat and down leg, clipped to fine leg

43.1 - Lyon to Cook, no run, that is dangerous! Trying to punch a ball that is drifting in with the arm towards off stump, Cook gets it down to backward point this time

42.4 - Starc to Stokes, no run, full outside off, Stokes gets forward and plays a pleasing drive, but picks out mid-off, failed to find the gap

41.3 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, short and wide outside off, Stokes reaches out and cuts, off the toe end and there was a single to backward point, they missed out there, didn't take it

41.2 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, keeps low but it is outside off, Stokes lets it go

41.1 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, tossed up outside off, spinning away, left alone

40.6 - Hazlewood to Stokes, 1 run, down leg, clipped to fine leg, the stand is now worth 100. England needed that after being 30/4

40.5 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, always looked like it was pitching outside leg, from over the wicket, replays prove it to be true. Pitches outside leg and then beats Stokes' flick, Erasmus got that right and and Australia went for the review. They lose it

Clarke has a word with Peter Nevill and then goes for a review. Not out the decision against Australia. For an lbw call. Has that pitched in-line? No bat on HotSpot. "Happy no bat" says the third umpire. Pitching outside leg and the onfield call will stay

40.4 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, dug in short outside off, Stokes looks to pull and then bails out of the shot, loops through to Nevill

40.3 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, on a good length and angled across Stokes, he sees it early and then lets it go

40.3 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no ball, Hazlewood oversteps and bowls it on a short of length on the stumps, Stokes defends off the back foot

40.2 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, Hazlewood pulls the length back and angles it across Stokes, left alone

39.4 - Lyon to Cook, no run, stays back and punches it wide of silly point

39.3 - Lyon to Cook, FOUR, aggression from Cook. He comes down the track and then lofts Lyon over his head, well wide of mid-off. A flat hit and went for four. Will he continue to take on Lyon?

39.2 - Lyon to Cook, no run, flatter and on the stumps, punched off the back foot back to the bowler

39.1 - Lyon to Cook, no run, inside edge onto the pad and lobs wide of short leg! This one drifted in and was heading to off, Cook gets forward to block and got a big edge, luckily for him the ball didn't go to hand

Stokes 56(79)	Cook 36(116)	Hazlewood 15-2-39-1

38.6 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, in the corridor of uncertainty, rising delivery and Stokes shoulders arms. Judged that well and left it

38.5 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, brings the line closer to off but still not enough to make Stokes play

38.4 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, well wide of off, easy leave

38.3 - Hazlewood to Cook, 1 run, Hazlewood has his hands on his head after Cook falls over slightly on the flick, the front foot came across and he got bat on it, if he hadn't there would've been a big appeal for lbw for it was pretty adjacent

Looks a great day for batting. Australia are trying to take the pitch out of the equation by bowling very full. So far both Cook and Stokes have had no trouble. Let's see whether Lyon can get some purchase off the wicket

38.2 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, a solid forward defence to mid-off, head over the ball - everything perfect about that

Four slips in place

38.1 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, clipped to mid-on

36.6 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, was that the slower delivery? Looked like it, bounces through to Nevill after Stokes shoulders arms

36.5 - Johnson to Stokes, FOUR, even though Stokes was hurried by that short ball, he gets four with a pull. Bounced on him awkwardly and he was cramped on the shot, more off the splice of the bat but in the gap at mid-wicket. No boundary riders and it will be another four to Stokes

36.4 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, wide of the crease and full outside off, Stokes leans into a flowing off-drive but straight to the fielder at mid-off

36.3 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, an appeal from Johnson for lbw but that was doing down leg, tailed in again, beats Stokes' flick and would've gone down. Erasmus with an easy decision to make

36.2 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, another yorker, tailing in at the base of off, dug out by Stokes

36.1 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, this inswinging yorker almost got through Stokes' defences. Stokes though gets his bat down at the last moment and digs it onto his boot

35.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full outside off, Cook gets forward and shoulders arms

35.4 - Hazlewood to Cook, FOUR, an open faced defence wide of gully and it is four. On a good length and outside off, Cook got forward and then let it run off the bat face, neatly played and since third man region is vacant he will get four

Change of angle from Hazlewood. Now round the wicket with no change in field

35.3 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, short of length on off, angled back in, Cook defends back to Hazlewood

35.2 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and outside off, angled across, left alone

34.4 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, on the stumps, punched with a full face of the bat to mid-on

34.3 - Johnson to Stokes, FOUR, third consecutive fifty plus score for Stokes at Lord's this summer. That is some record. Full and outside off, Stokes leant on it and timed the cover drive. Raced away through cover. Beautifully played and he raises the bat to cheers from the crowd. He needs to kick on though

34.2 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, that is a fine delivery and has cut Stokes in half. At 89mph. Nips in down the slope and beats Stokes' back foot defence, the ball bounces over the off stump. Almost flicked the bail there

34.1 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, nips back in sharply and has Stokes in trouble, rapped on the thigh pad. No real appeal for lbw as the ball was doing too much there

33.6 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, pitched up outside off, dug out to mid-off

33.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, almost dragged on. Second time today that he has failed with the cut shot. The width was there, but he inside-edged it wide of the stumps as he reached out to play his favorite shot

33.4 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, back to leaving is Cook as Hazlewood switches to an outside off line

33.3 - Hazlewood to Cook, FOUR, bang! No pace on the short delivery, banged in outside off, Cook swivels and pulls through the vacant square leg area, over short leg. Didn't try to hit it down and pulled it well. Hazlewood needs to put more effort into the short delivery to create any issues for the England captain

33.2 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, Clarke from slip applauds that delivery from Hazlewood, after the bowler had the England captain on the hop, it was a delivery on the stumps, Cook was forced to jump because of the extra bounce, defended to mid-off

32.6 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, this time he leaves that widish delivery alone

32.5 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, unnecessary from Stokes as he looked to push at that. It didn't bounce much as Johnson bowled it full outside off, Stokes reached out and was beaten. Nevill takes it low down

32.4 - Johnson to Stokes, leg byes, 2 runs, angled in towards the pads, it swung in and Stokes missed his flick, rolls off the pad and they take two leg byes. Quick running too

32.3 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, in the channel outside off, on a tempting line and length, Stokes wanted to have a go at it, then left it alone

32.2 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, Stokes when he defends like that looks a million dollars and more. A nice straight bat as he punches it back to Johnson, high elbow and all that jazz

32.1 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, good length and angled in towards off stump, Stokes blocks solidly off the front foot back to the bowler

Over: 32	0 0 0 0 0 0	ENG 98/4
Cook 24(95)	Stokes 48(58)	Hazlewood 12-2-28-1

31.6 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, loose from Cook. Went after a short of length delivery that was angled across him, looked to cut and the ball flew past the edge. Bit of extra bounce and the angle across making Cook's shot dangerous. Lucky that he didn't nick it

31.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, clipped to mid-on

31.4 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, still the line is outside off, Cook judges that and then shoulders arms

30.5 - Johnson to Stokes, FOUR, nicely cut by Stokes. Short and outside off, Stokes hops and slashes it wide of backward point, it was in the air but in the gap. Stokes had to ride the extra bounce and did so very well

30.4 - Johnson to Cook, 1 run, full and on the stumps, clipped wide of the diving short leg, single taken

30.3 - Johnson to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, driven back to Johnson who flings the throw back at the stumps

30.2 - Johnson to Cook, 2 runs, this one keeps a bit low outside off, Cook defends and it goes off the toe end wide of backward point, couple taken

Four slips and a short leg in for Johnson

30.1 - Johnson to Cook, no run, short of length on the stumps, Cook hops and defends towards mid-off

Mitchell Johnson [6.0-3-16-2] is back into the attack

Stokes 44(56)	Cook 21(85)	Hazlewood 11-1-28-1

29.6 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, this delivery doesn't bounce at all, good length outside off, left alone and Nevill has to crouch low to collect

29.5 - Hazlewood to Stokes, 2 runs, length delivery on middle and leg, tucked off the pads through mid-wicket for a couple of runs

29.4 - Hazlewood to Stokes, FOUR, this delivery opened Stokes up. Lucky that the outside edge didn't go to hand. There was no gully and it went wide of the four slips. If there was a gully would've carried comfortably to hand. The slope again acting against Stokes, it came in and then held its line, Stokes was looking to work it to leg and got lucky

29.3 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, good length outside off, Stokes gets forward and defends to backward point, solidly played

29.2 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, full and on off stump, Stokes gets forward and defends towards cover

29.1 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, angled across Stokes, he feels for the ball and pushes out, is beaten by a margin. The ball went past the outside edge of the bat there

The Aussies are in a huddle as the sun shines in all its splendor. A brilliant day for Test match cricket. The England batsmen walk through the Long Room and down onto the field. Should be a cracking day of Test cricket. Hazlewood will begin proceedings. Four slips in place. Watson is on the field and smiling. Voges is off it by the looks. He took a blow yesterday on his hip while fielding at short leg

Sigh! It's a pity to know, afterall it's just a game of cricket. Let's make a move on and get back to the ASHES. A pivotal day of Test match cricket awaits Alastair Cook and co. Do stay tuned for all the action....

Meanwhile, according to the report published in the Daily Mail, a homemade bomb was found outside Brad Haddin's home just days after he quit the Ashes tour for personal reasons. Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that officers 'removed a suspicious item which will be forensically examined.'

Sam Ferris' piece for the Cricket Australia website focusses on five things that stood out on day 2. His five things include: "The (Australia) skipper's dry spell, Smith hits dizzying heights, England's lack of top order Ballance, No pitch can stop Mitch (Johnson), Nevill's Midas touch." The author composed his piece with valid points which were well backed up by amazing stats.

Chief sports columnist Greg Baum, writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, was critical of the Australian skipper and was all praise for the vice captain for exhibiting immense maturity over the years. "By manipulating the figures in a particular way, it can be demonstrated that Michael Clarke has averaged less even than Shane Watson in a given recent period, and Steve Smith averaged more than anyone except Don Bradman. The trouble for Clarke is that that is how it looked at Lord's on Friday. Stats sometimes lie, but the eye rarely does," affirms the Aussie writer.

Former English skipper Michael Vaughan voicing his opinion for the BBC radio, mentioned that Australia looked like their old selves and offered credit to Smith and Rogers for their fantastic batting display. "A fantastic day for Australia; they are all patting each other on the back. Smith and Rogers were outstanding, but Starc got things going with that wicket to get rid of Lyth and then there was the Mitchell Johnson factor. They looked like the old Australian side of a few years ago. They had that menace about them again," he said.

Exposing the concerns of England's top-order, Liew also revealed that the English bowlers were not up to the mark at Lord's. "England are tough enough and good enough to win this series, but are they frank enough to accept that their bowlers were not as threatening as Australia's, that they did not swing the ball sufficiently, that they did not bat with enough discipline or take their chances in the field? Or will they simply look down, shrug their shoulders and blame the surface? On the answer to that question may well hang the fate of the urn," he added.

Jonathan Liew's headline for The Telegraph is a sample of how the British Media reacted to England's top-order woes. The headline said: "England's top order are now worse than Bangladesh's." He supported his statement by providing stats of the average partnership between wickets 1-3 in Tests in 2015. England are right at the bottom among the top 9 Test playing nations, averaging a mere 26.87, just behind West Indies who are marginally ahead.

Before we build up the buzz of all the cricketing action, let's peep through the newspaper segment and find out what the mood in the media is like.

Greetings everyone! The entire second day belonged to the Australians and Smith in particular. He became the first Australian to record a double ton at Lord's in 81 years. Then came the ravenous Aussie bowlers who rattled the English top-order with fierce pace and movement. When the Australian bowlers come hard, they really come hard at you, such that you can't even realize the game slipping out of your hands. Such is the pace and aggression they possess. Stokes played his natural game while skipper Cook, stayed serene at one end, as he more often does. The progress of day 3 will determine the fate of this Test match. So, don't even miss a single moment of today's play.

Day 3: Just before the start of the Ashes series, there was a suspicion that Steven Smith might not succeed as a batsman in English conditions. After he was dismissed at Cardiff in the first innings, it was very visible that he felt absolutely gutted and he had everything to prove. Come the Lord's Test match and out came the best of Steven Peter Devereux Smith. Yes! he batted and batted like there was no tomorrow. Not many of us would have seen him when he made his Test debut at the home of cricket 5 years ago. It might sound astonishing, but one has to believe it. He batted at number 8 and 9 in the first and second innings respectively, on his debut against Pakistan. And now, five years later, here he is....scoring runs for fun.

We are done for the day. We will be up nice and early to bring you all the action from day 3. So do join us then. Until tomorrow, it is goodbye and good night from us here. Sleep well and sleep tight! Alvida!

England's batsmen have a task on their hands tomorrow, especially if the Australian pacers make the ball talk. The visitors certainly will look to make breakthroughs at regular intervals and put the hosts under even more pressure.

For England, Alastair Cook is still at the crease and Ben Stokes has played with bravado and adventurism. They need to string together a massive stand for the hosts to have any chance of escaping with a draw. Earlier in the day, Steven Smith compiled a double ton and it was his partnership with Chris Rogers that put the visitors on top. Eventually, Australia declared with the score reading - 566 for 8.

Australia put themselves in firm control of the proceedings by amassing a monstrous score on the board. They also sliced through the opposition's batting line-up in the final session, and the hosts found themselves in dire straits. It was the trio of Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, who bowled with fire and aggression to give sleepless nights to the batsmen. If Johnson bowled with good pace, then Hazlewood, with subtle changes of wrist, made the ball to move both ways. Starc was wayward on occasions, but took the wicket of Adam Lyth.

Nice touch from Cook and Stokes as they go up to Smith and Rogers respectively and shake their hands. That is good to see as the Englishmen show respect to the Aussie duo for what they did with the bat in the first innings of the game. The members in the Long Room stand up and clap as they welcome the players back into the dressing room

26.3 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, angled in towards middle and leg, pushed off the front foot to mid-on

26.2 - Johnson to Cook, 1 run, back of a length and dropped to the cover region for a single

Stokes seems to be struggling. After taking the two he was grimacing. Even while running he wasn't going smoothly. Limping as he ran

26.1 - Johnson to Cook, no run, short of length on the stumps, Cook shuffles across and defends it to mid-on

Over: 26	0 0 0 1 0 2	ENG 81/4

25.6 - M Marsh to Stokes, 2 runs, angling into leg stump, clipped to deep square leg, and that is the 50-run stand between the two. England needed that to provide their fans some cheer after a dreadful start

25.4 - M Marsh to Cook, 1 run, yorker length outside off, dug out to the vacant cover and an easy single on offer

25.3 - M Marsh to Cook, no run, Cook is beaten pushing out at a ball that didn't swing back in. The last delivery did and that sucked Cook into playing at this one. Nice variety from Marsh as he angled this one across Cook on a good length, down the slope

25.2 - M Marsh to Cook, no run, gentle swing, full on the stumps, Cook carefully defends to short mid-on

Stokes 34(45)	Cook 18(66)	Johnson 5-3-13-2

24.6 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, good short delivery at 89.2mph and well played by Stokes. It was near his hands and he dropped them quickly. The ball flies to Nevill

24.5 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, dug in short on the stumps, Stokes rises tall and blocks to cover

Three slips and a short leg in place

24.4 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, full and on the stumps, defended back to Johnson who flings a throw back at the stumps

23.4 - Lyon to Cook, no run, tossed up outside off, Cook lunges forward and blocks

23.3 - Lyon to Cook, no run, skidding onto off, keeps a bit low, Cook keeps it out

A silly point brought in

23.2 - Lyon to Cook, no run, again outside off, Cook sees the line and leaves

23.1 - Lyon to Cook, no run, flat and outside off, holds its line, left alone. What happened there? Nevill has whipped the bails off and we have an appeal for a stumping. Seemed pretty innocuous that initially. Has Cook lifted his foot? No. Even though he was going to do so had Nevill waited a fraction longer, Nevill saw Cook moving his feet and flicked the bails off. Cook had his back foot planted when the bails are off. Third umpire confirms the not out call

Johnson is back on the field

Cook 18(60)	Stokes 34(39)	Hazlewood 10-1-22-1

22.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and on the stumps, Cook pushes it to mid-on

22.4 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, Cook was almost sucked into playing at that, it nipped in and Cook pulled his bat inside the line at the last instant to let it go

22.3 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, good length outside off, just a hint of nip back in, Cook covers his off stump and leaves

22.2 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, outside off, left alone

22.1 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, short of length outside off, Cook defends to cover

Now Hazlewood round the wicket with four slips in place

The physio is on and Stokes has a sip of water. A mini break. Stokes is seen stretching his right ankle. A salt tablet given to Stokes. Maybe he is cramping up a bit. Meanwhile Johnson goes off. Not sure what the reason is. Shaun Marsh is on for him

Stokes 34(39)	Cook 17(54)	Lyon 2-0-13-0

21.6 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, Stokes comes forward and defends this tossed up delivery off the front foot

21.5 - Lyon to Stokes, SIX, Stokes again uses his feet to a floated up delivery and lofts it straight down the ground for a six. Lovely use of the feet there from Stokes. Even though he didn't get to the pitch of it, he lofted it through the line and the ball went into the spectators

21.4 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, Stokes back cuts this delivery that is dragged down to extra cover

21.3 - Lyon to Stokes, 2 runs, Stokes just works it away to fine leg for a brace. Good running between the wickets

Over: 21	0 0 1 0 0 0	ENG 65/4
Cook 17(54)	Stokes 22(33)	Hazlewood 9-1-21-1

20.6 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and angles away, Cook lines him up again down the slope and leaves it. The key point there is Hazlewood hasn't got one to shape back into Cook from down the slope and that is allowing the left-hander to leave it

20.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, fuller and outside off, Cook lines him up down the slope and leaves it alone. Hazlewood also extracted extra bounce there

20.4 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, Hazlewood drags his length back a touch, Cook leaves it alone

20.3 - Hazlewood to Stokes, 1 run, fuller and just outside off, Stokes pushes it to mid-off for a quick single. Stokes is certainly showing today that he has a second line of defence

20.2 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, fuller and outside off, left alone. Stokes did well there to get a good stride forward

20.1 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, from over the wicket, Hazlewood bowls it full and just outside off, Stokes punches it back to the bowler

19.5 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, Stokes is flirting with danger here. This delivery skidded onto the off-stump, Stokes just about cuts it to point

19.4 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, Geez! Voges has been hit on the hip there, Stokes brings out the slog sweep, hits it very hard, the fielder at FSL comes in the way and he gets hit

19.2 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, tossed up delivery and just outside off, defended off the back foot

Nathan Lyon, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Lyon comes into the attack. He has a slip and a FSL in place.

18.5 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, angled across on a good length, left alone to the keeper

18.3 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, full and just outside off, Cook drives it to mid-off

18.2 - Hazlewood to Cook, no run, a tad fuller and outside off, Cook defends it off the front foot. When Cook's judgment is good outside off he is in fine form

17.6 - Starc to Stokes, FOUR, Stokes is very good in the 'V'. He just shows a glimpse of it by punching this very full delivery through long-off for a boundary. He used that shot to great effect at the WACA when he cracked a ton

17.5 - Starc to Stokes, no run, good length delivery and outside off, Stokes leaves it alone. Starc needs to make Stokes play

17.4 - Starc to Stokes, no run, fuller length delivery and outside off, left alone to the keeper

17.3 - Starc to Stokes, FOUR, full and on the pads, any left-hander loves it there. He clips it away through deep backward square leg for a boundary. The fielder in the deep had no chance there

17.1 - Starc to Cook, 1 run, good length delivery and outside off, Cook pushes it off the back foot to cover for a single

16.6 - Hazlewood to Stokes, FOUR, Geez! English batsmen continue to leave on tenterhooks. This was bowled on a back of a length and nipped away from Stokes, he gets opened up, gets an outside edge, there was no fourth slip in place. If there was a fourth slip in place it would have carried to him

16.5 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, down leg from Hazlewood, Stokes leaves it alone

16.4 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, width on offer, Stokes plays a nothing shot at it. He perhaps was thinking of trying to cut, eventually gets a bottom edge that rolls away towards the keeper

Four slips and a short leg and a short mid-off in place.

16.2 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, fuller and outside off, Stokes presses forward and blocks it

16.1 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, Hazlewood bowls it full and outside off, left alone to the keeper. Hazlewood has been wonderful today as he has made the ball to move this way, that way with just a tilt of the wrist

14.1 - Johnson to Cook, no run, fuller and a hint of shape back into the left-hander, Cook defends it to FSL. Johnson is certainly steaming in here

Drinks are on the field now. Australia are on top here. Some excellent bowling by the visitors. They have made the ball talk by extracting movement off the surface and generating movement in the air. To make it even better, Johnson has bowled with fire and aggresion. Hazlewood has made the ball to move this way, that way, too, to dumbfound the batsmen. Australian fans must be a happy lot.

Cook was late in leaving this full one outside off, the ball takes the inner half and went a cat's whisker wide of leg stump. Everything happening out there. A different pitch this now

10.6 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, what an over. And what a final ball to end it. Nearly through Stokes' defences. Was there an inside edge onto the pad? Not quite sure. Need a replay to confirm. It was full and fast, on the stumps, Stokes was late on the flick and the ball thudded into the pad, rolled periliously wide of leg stump. Stokes got lucky there. Johnson is on song! There was no appeal for lbw, maybe Australia felt it was slipping down leg

10.5 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, Clarke asked Nevill whether there was a glove on that. And they don't review. Replays show that it flicked the thigh pad. HotSpot picked up the mark on the thigh pad. It was down leg, Stokes flicks and misses. Not far from the glove. Johnson and the keeper went up for an appeal but Erasmus just shook his head

10.4 - Johnson to Stokes, no run, Oops! Stokes too could have got out! It was another of those thunderbolts that angled in, Stokes tries to defend off the back foot, gets an inside edge onto the pad

Ben Stokes, left handed bat, comes to the crease

10.3 - Johnson to J Root, out Caught by Nevill!! Another thunderbolt from Johnson and it does the trick. It was a short delivery that was bowled outside off, Root perhaps was thinking of the previous ball, hangs back in the crease, tries to punch it, gets an outside edge to the keeper. Root just walked back to the pavilion as he knew that he had edged it. Johnson bowled this one at 91mph. England are in dire straits now. J Root c Nevill b Johnson 1(4)

Johnson to J Root, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

10.2 - Johnson to J Root, no run, this one climbs awkwardly from a back of a length and it is bowled outside off, Root gets his wrists down and leaves it

9.1 - Hazlewood to Bell, out Bowled!! Got him! Hazlewood you beauty! Full and on off stump, Bell played a clumsy shot and the off stump is pegged back. Australia all over England like a rash. Bell was looking to flick that away and the late seam movement opened him up and left him looking a bit sorry there. Another failure and the bell is tolling for him. Lovely delivery from Hazlewood, on a fuller length and that tiny bit of seam movement to get the batsman out. Bell b Hazlewood 1(2)

Hazlewood to Bell, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Ballance's tendency to jump back in the crease led to his dismissal. He was also beaten for pace as it was bowled at 89mph. Replays for the Ballance dismissal show that the ball scooted very low after pitching. That completely did the batsman there.

0.1 - Starc to Lyth, no run, back of a length delivery and outside off, defended off the back foot to point. Good pace by Starc

Lyth and Cook are at the crease. Lyth is on strike. Starc will open the attack

The heavy roller was on when the players took a break. Clarke has a few words to say to his players before they move forward. England's openers walk out. A minimum of 155 overs for Australia available to force a result in the game. Big innings for Lyth this. He needs a score. Starc with the new ball. Four slips in place. Let's play!

And that's it. Australia have declared. Clarke who was at the crease calls Marsh back as they walk off to the dresssing room. The lead is 508 and Clarke wants to have a pop at the English 10 minutes before lunch, smart move that. England will face a couple of nasty, uncomfortable overs before we have a lengthier break. England need a world record chase to go 2-0 up. Australia with all the aces at the moment. We will be back shortly for the England reply

48.5 - Moeen Ali to M Marsh, SIX, and again! This time he skied the lofted hit, comes down the track and looks to go big, beaten in the flight there, but got enough wood on it to clear long-on. The fielder watched it sail over his head

48.4 - Moeen Ali to M Marsh, SIX, fabulous shot. Uses his feet and then tonks it straight back over the bowler's head. Got to the pitch and put it away. He can hit them a long long way. Pretty strong young bloke

46.5 - Moeen Ali to M Marsh, 1 run, Lyth at backward point isn't a happy man. It was dabbed to his right and he fired in a throw to Moeen Ali's end.

Interesting to know what would've happened in case of a direct hit

31.5 - Mark Wood to Warner, 1 run, tucked with the angle past Root at short mid-wicket

31.4 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, very tough chance dropped by Root at short mid-wicket. Mark Wood cramped Warner for room on the pull, Warner spliced it and a leaping Root got a fingertip on it. He was at full stretch and couldn't haul it back in. Would go down as a dropped catch though

31.3 - Mark Wood to S Smith, 1 run, full outside off, Smith drives and it goes off a thick outer half to sweeper cover, wanted two but Warner sent him back. Good work from the fielder running back as he dived and that caused doubt in the batsmen's minds

28.6 - J Anderson to S Smith, FOUR, too full and on the pads, Smith flick it past the square leg umpire. Too easy and it raced away. Can't bowl there to Smith who is strong in that area. There was inswing for Anderson but he drifted into the wrong line

Now Anderson throws the ball to Dharmasena who has a look and flings it back

28.5 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, angling in, Smith defends to short mid-wicket

Rogers realised that everything wasn't fine at the end of the last over. The throw came to his end from short mid-wicket and in trying to get back he wobbled. Then walked towards Warner and had a word. On day 2 he was hit on the side of the helmet and in the West Indies he was hit by a local bowler in the nets which forced him to miss those two Tests. He was concussed in the West Indies - let's hope that it is not the same here. Certainly looked groggy and uncertain while on the ground in those few minutes

28.4 - J Anderson to Warner, 1 run, short of length on the pads, tucked wide of mid-on for a quick single

28.3 - J Anderson to S Smith, 3 runs, Smith is off the mark with a nice drive off the front foot, leant on it and placed it past cover, Broad chases it and prevents it with a slide

28.1 - J Anderson to S Smith, no run, short of length outside off, Smith leans into the back foot punch and finds point

Chris Rogers is having an issue. He seems to stare into space without looking specifically at anything. Is he concussed? Warner is concerned as is Cook. Haddin walks out with a bottle of water. The physio is out there and talking to Chris Rogers. Chris Rogers points out that he is dizzy. Gets up and goes off. Smith will come in now. Let's hope and pray that Chris Rogers is fine and ready to bat again. He is walking off without any issues which is good news

Over: 28	0 0 0 0 0 0	AUS 114/0
Warner 60(91)	Chris Rogers 49(77)	Mark Wood 7-3-23-0

27.6 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, full and Warner was looking to drive through cover, gets a thick inside edge to short mid-wicket

27.5 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, full and on the stumps, Warner turns it past short mid-wicket, but square leg is there

Again the ball is passed to the umpire who takes it through the circular rings. It goes into those rings which means it is perfectly in shape, so Erasmus throws it back to Mark Wood

27.4 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, cramping Warner for room with the angle in, Warner defends to cover

27.3 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, full and angling in on the stumps, tucked to mid-wicket

Two slips in place for Mark Wood who is coming round the wicket

Mark Wood throws the ball to Erasmus wanting a change, the umpire has a look and tosses it right back to Mark Wood

27.1 - Mark Wood to Warner, no run, excellent yorker first up, towards the toe of the batsman, Warner digs it out, but only just. Mark Wood almost got through Warner's defences there

Over: 27	1 1L 0 0 4 0	AUS 114/0
Chris Rogers 49(77)	Warner 60(85)	Anderson 5-0-26-0

26.6 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, full and Chris Rogers squirts out a drive to mid-on

26.5 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, FOUR, that's where he is so good. When it is full and wide outside off, he leans into the square drive and places it wide of the extra cover, who didn't dive. All along the ground and that will be the first boundary of the day

26.4 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, that bounced extra from a good length area and Chris Rogers' body was pushed back by the resultant effect of him defending, the batsman was coming forward to defend and the extra bounce meant it took the bat splice and rolled back towards the bowler

26.3 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, no run, full outside off, pushed off the front foot to mid-off

For Chris Rogers he is coming round the wicket again

26.2 - J Anderson to Warner, leg byes, 1 run, back over the wicket for Warner, sliding down leg, catches the pad and they take a leg bye

26.1 - J Anderson to Chris Rogers, 1 run, angled in towards the stumps, keeps a bit low, Chris Rogers turns it to deep backward square leg for a single

Welcome to day 4. The sun is shining and that's great news. The forecast is good too for today. Rogers and Warner wait before stepping in. The England players walk through the Long Room to cheers. Rogers will face the first ball and it will be Anderson from round the wicket with two slips and a gully in place. Let's play...

So, it can turn out to be a decisive day for both the teams. On the one hand, Australia will look to score quickly, declare and make inroads into the opposition ranks. Their counterparts, England, know that they have a battle on their hands especially, when they get a chance to bat.

Mitchell Marsh on his part said: "Hopefully we can bat well and really put England under pressure tomorrow afternoon and on day five."

He added: "If there's ever a wicket to do it on it's this one. There are no real demons in it, there's not too much pace and there's not too much turn."

Stokes, in the press conference accepted that England were in a spot of bother. "We've got to get our head around the fact that we are probably going to have to bat 150 overs to try and save the game," he said.

David Lloyd gave his views for Sky Sports by saying, "What they (England) can get out of this is a draw but they will have to be absolutely faultless. Its inevitable that there will come a time when Michael Clarke says thats it and then they will need to get a real serious batting head on."

Chris Barrett, writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, believed that the wickets of Stokes and Cook turned out to be the key moments of the day's play. "The key moments of the day were undoubtedly the departures of Cook and Stokes, who had set themselves for the kind of marathon union that England were searching for in their bid to save this match."

Greg Baum, penning his views for The Age, elucidated about how Australia dominated the proceedings on day 4. He also praised Marsh for his efforts with the ball. "For Australia, it was a day of gains upon gains: a winning position reinforced, wickets for all bowlers, and in the last session a half-century for David Warner that may yet prove to be the loosening of a torrent. But the most gratifying development was Marsh's brace. First, just before lunch, he bowled Ben Stokes for 87, breaking a three-hour yin and yang partnership with Alastair Cook."

Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott opined on BBC Radio by saying, "England have two top-class opening bowlers in Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson, but this pitch has neutered their impact. England can't complain because a slow pitch is probably what they ordered to stop Australia's tall quick bowlers."

Mike Selvey, writing for The Guardian, believed that Cook is back to his best. He wrote, "The renaissance of Cook, since his lengthy affair with one-day international cricket came to an abrupt end before the previous World Cup, is complete. The time away from the game, while England stumbled their way through the competition, was well spent, in a complete reassessment of his game, and a reacquaintance with those qualities that have made him the most prolific Test batsman of his age the game has ever seen."

Here is a compilation of opinions and views expressed by cricket pundits in the media.

Hello and a warm welcome to our ball-by-ball coverage of day 4 of the Test match between England and Australia. Despite not enforcing the follow-on, Australia hold all the aces going into the day's play. With David Warner and Chris Rogers having already strung together a century stand, their lead is now over 350. It would be interesting to see when Michael Clarke will declare the innings. Remember, it is the visitors, who are 1-0 down in the series and they need to make all the running. This is visitors' best chance to break the hoodoo of not having won a Test in England since beating their traditional rivals at Leeds in 2009. On the other hand, England will look to dry up the runs and when they get a chance to bat, they need to dig deep.

Australia continued to deflate the hosts on day 3. It was Josh Hazlewood, who with his impeccable control and the ability to extract movement off the surface, was the centerpiece of Australia's clinical performance with the ball in hand. He picked up three wickets. His pace colleague Mitchell Johnson, known for clutching the hands of the batsman with the cold hand of fear, also produced blistering spells and ended up with three scalps. Mitchell Marsh, made key breakthroughs as he prised out Alastair Cook and Ben Stokes. For the home team, they were able to get to a respectable total, largely on the back of Cook's tough-as-nails determined effort. Stokes, with a compendium of splendid strokes, also caught the eye. With a crisp downward angling of the bat, he essayed some cracking drives. Unfortunately, both of them missed out on scoring hundreds.

It has been a disappointing day for the home team. The game is pretty much out of their hands now. So, when will Clarke declare? Join us early tomorrow to find out, until then, goodbye and good night from all of us here...

Australian openers then piled on the misery with an enterprising stand. To make it worse for England, Adam Lyth dropped a chance off James Anderson's bowling to give David Warner a reprieve. In fact, England's fielding has been sloppy in this Test. Tomorrow, the hosts will look to dry up the runs, with Australia trying to up the ante and declare.

However, despite having the option of enforcing the follow-on, Australia didn't opt for it. It was perhaps to do with the fact that the deck is flat. For the home team, Cook and Ben Stokes tried their best to whittle away at the opposition's lead in the first session. Stokes played with a dash of fearlessness. On the other hand, Cook's relaxed gait at the crease, brought a sense of assuredness to the English camp. Unfortunately, both of them missed out on scoring centuries.

Australia continued to muzzle the hosts' challenge by putting up an impressive performance. Their bowling was propelled by superlative performances from Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Johnson. If Hazlewood concentrated on bowling with good control and extracting movement off the surface, then Johnson bowled with pace and aggression. The duo shared six wickets between them. Mitchell Marsh, too, made his presence felt by snaring key scalps. It was Marsh who dismissed Alastair Cook.
