The Ashes: 2Nd Test, Lords

[ChillDoubt]

England have won the toss and will bat. Big Tim Bresnan in for Finn(no surprise there) is the only change.

Khawaja and Harris replace Cowan and Starc for the Aussies.

At tea, England have yet to step on the gas, but quiet progress again. 171/4, Root's 3 short of a century.

[jim360]

One hundred and forty-two runs in the last session! Root has a massive 178, England 333/5 and leading by 566. What a day.

Fabulous day. Well done, Joe!

Lords here we come - slightly hungover ... but some coffee will cure that soon.

[Sqad]

Let Joe get his double century...........then declare.

I thought that Joe was a number 5 and not an opener, but clearly sqad was wrong.However, he still looks uncomfortable to me with the new ball.

[Tilly2]

I hope you have a really enjoyable day, Dave. I'll be looking for you in the crowd.

[seekeerz]

Well folks, I'm turning in early tonight, so Congrats even though its not over yet - we're getting suitably trounced .... Well played, very well played

[jim360]

It would be nice to see a bit of fight from Australia now. A Clarke century, perhaps, to help Australia to 250/6 at the close?

[sunny-dave]

Brilliant day at Lords.

Squeaky bum time as it went to the final over before England wrapped it up and got me a refund on tomorrow's tickets :-)
