Isa's just made a 'puts cricket into perspective' comment. TMS not abiding by the rules of H&V

Hazlewood over Starc decision pays off immediately

Oh dear 150 all out here we come.

Feeling optimistic there Paul.

I'm already hoping for more rain.

Poor shot from Roy, very frustrating because I wanted him to have a quick smash early on and make them regret putting us in under the sun.

Excellent selection from the Aussies. No qualms about changing a winning team. Hazlewood looks a perfect bowler for the Lords slope.

I think this will be one for the bowlers (Lords often is), pitch is offering just enough to make it difficult to score. Will be interesting to see what difference there is when the ball softens up.

Could be Lord's slope, Lord's' slope or maybe Lord's's slope but definitely not Lords slope

[UK Redsox]

Uh oh

[taylorsworkrate]

Think today is likely to be the best batting conditions with bright weather overhead. A little in the pitch early but thats to be expected.

Poor start to our innings. Players need to dig in and fight. They don't do that enough.

[UK Redsox]

Well done to Burns for stopping Joe reviewing that

[paul_e]

Was a great delivery to Root to be fair.

[Risso]

What on earth has happened to Root?  Both as a captain, and as a player?

[paul_e]

He's just slightly out of nick, not a Moeen like collapse but just something not quite right with him, seems keen to get early runs to help himself settle so I think he knows that he's not himself.

Give Sibley a chance! Oh, sorry he doesn't play for a Southern County!
