2nd Test, ICC World Test Championship at Lord's, Aug 14-18 2019

There's still 12 overs left in the day - or, more realistically, England have 30 minutes to try and make some more inroads tonight.

Some stoic defence by Usman Khawaja, who happily milks the singles where he can find them.

Chris Woakes is turning his arm over, which signals a change of bowling.

Stumps, day 2

30 - 1

There we have it, an absorbing end to a hard-fought day in the dirt.
Jofra Archer sent the ball down at a good lick but it was Stuart Broad
to make the breakthrough !

80 - 4

2-60 (Cameron Bancroft, 22.5 ov) 3-60 (Usman Khawaja, 23.2 ov)

4-71 (Travis Head, 30.1 ov)

Lunch, Day 3

2:00 p.m : Rain-watch. It's wet at Lord's and looks like it will be for a while !

Pitch inspection scheduled for 4:30pm, should the weather not worsen.

As always seems to be the case with cricket, the inspection time was wildly optimistic and has not taken place

England lead by 104 runs with 6 wickets remaining

46 - 2

AND that's TEA
The final session of a Test shrunk by the rain but that has produced some of the most riveting cricket ~

What does the final couple of hours hold?

Australia require another 221 runs with 8 wickets remaining

47 - 3

13.6
