Bairstow unfortunately lost this with 5 missed chances. Bring Foakes in for the next one for Ali, risk Root as our spinner (Lords rarely turns) and pkay Bairstow as a batter.

That was one of the all-time great Ashes tests
Bazball means that nothing will change
Unless Moeen is out for a couple of Tests in which case we would probably lose Dawson
Rehan Ahmed: Leg-spinner called up by England for second Ashes Test -
England win toss & bowl.
Weird weather in Essex humid damp air not too warm occassional very fine misty drizzle.
Very Jimmy Anderson weather
Here we go. We’ve got Just Stop Oil protesters running on with some orange powder.
Jonny Bairstow plays his part to stop them getting to the pitch itself and ends up carrying one of them off!
We’re going to have a delay while the ground staff clear the powder form the outfield
Just switched on in time to see them come off due to rain.
Aus 20-0 from 9 overs
48-0 we need a wicket or 3 soon
Doesn’t help that Warner got dropped from a regulation edge when Aus were at 30-0.
Currently 58-0
Tongue just licked the wickets
Aussis 73-1
Maybe we will hear the glorious sound of bone on willow

Is the planet Earth doomed?We got another wicket
Anyway back to the cricket 130 -2
Typical of a Lords groundsman to prepare a wicket that suits the opposition better than the home team, anything else just wouldn’t be cricket.

Kevin Pietersen is a dick of the highest order.
I’m sure he’s watching a different game and pitch to me
