Excellent email just arrived in the TMS inbox, concerning TMS lunch-time guest Sam Mendes...
Post update
So, are you ready for what the final two days might bring us? I can take a good guess that we'll see some Aussie willow-wielding in the morning, followed by the start of England's backs-to-the-wall effort around lunch time.
Player reaction
England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Sky Sports: "We didn't get off to the best of starts yesterday but me and Cooky tried to carry on our partnership. I try to stay as positive as I can but at the same time treat every ball on its merits.
"I wouldn't say there are any demons in the pitch - if anything it's a bit up and down. We're under the pump and tomorrow's a big day for us. We've got to get our heads round the fact that we're going to have to bat 150 overs to save this match."
Don't forget that 6-Duck-6 has just begun on BBC Radio 5 live with Michael Vaughan, who reckons England have "shot themselves in the foot" with this docile wicket.

Michael Blakey: The key for Lyth and Cook tomorrow is to go out there convinced the score is 30-3.
When will Australia declare?
Seamer Josh Hazlewood on when Australia will declare: "We'll want a few more runs. We're getting them pretty quickly, so hopefully that will continue. We'll need a little while to get those wickets."

Jim Chapman: England will lose this match. The Aussies can 'buy' wkts with a lead of 500, forget a docile pitch.
'Smooth sailing' for Australia
Australia's Josh Hazlewood, who took 3-68, on Sky Sports: "It has been pretty smooth sailing. Batting first was key and we did the job with the ball yesterday and today. So we're in a pretty good position.
"It was quite hard work today and we had to work for the rest of the wickets. It didn't reverse swing for us but it may do later in the game. The fuller the better on this wicket."
"The pitch is sapping a lot of pace out of the ball but the Australia bowlers are quick through the air. I've got a lot of time for Mitchell Johnson, he just kept running in. Mitchell Starc has got such a loose-limbed action, he's always going to bowl some bad balls and some very good balls."
Join the debate at #bbccricket
Niall McShary: I like England's tactics. Don't take any wickets, convince Aussies it's a batting pitch. Reduce their bowlers morale. Draw.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh on TMS: "It was really nice to contribute to the team today. The boys bowled really well and were able to put England under pressure. We've talked about being patient and setting the right fields and making England make the mistake, so hopefully we can do that again in the second innings. I'm sure we'll bat for a while tomorrow and then give ourselves enough time to take the final 10 wickets."
"I thought Cook played splendidly. Last night he gutsed it out, this morning he played much more fluently. Cook's natural way is to stay in and wear the bowlers down and he's very, very good at it."
Post update
All out for 312, a first-innings deficit of 254. No follow-on from Australia, just Warner and Rogers grinding England into the dirt. 108-0 by the close, 362 ahead. Blast that lead to 500, then pull out?
"Stokes looks to be getting better and better, he played with real positivity. He played the situation, nothing silly, it was a splendid common-sense innings. Jos Buttler is a wonderful stroke-player and he got stuck playing too defensively. He should have played a bit more like Moeen Ali, who played conservatively to the good balls and put the bad balls away. Buttler didn't look right."

The hosts must look to the efforts of Ben Stokes and Alastair Cook, who shared a fifth-wicket stand of 145. Stokes was the only wicket to fall in the morning session, playing on to Mitchell Marsh for 87. When the same man denied Cook a hundred in similar fashion in the afternoon, England's slide began.

Post update
Is there hope for England? Yes. The pitch continues to be docile, only the slightest hint of uneven bounce and turn. Today it took Australia 61 overs to take six wickets. What England must avoid at all costs is another collapse like that of the first innings, where they were four wickets down inside 11 overs.
"I think it will be tough for England, but I don't think you could get a better pitch than this to try and save a match on. The pitch isn't doing anything, it's straight and true with no great pace or spin. But history shows that it's not easy to do. Can all the batsmen put it together and play like Cook did?"
"I would imagine Australia will come back tomorrow, give it a bit of a whack, and declare around lunchtime, giving England five sessions to bat out for a draw."
"England need a bit of rain to save this Test match."

Aus 108-0

That is it, the end of another very good day for Australia and the beginning of two very difficult final days for England. The tourists have reached 108-0 in their second innings, a lead of 362. Some crash, bang and wallop in the morning, then probably five sessions for England to bat.
Aus 104-0

Brilliant. The cameras pick up a lady walking back to her seat, pictures shown on the big screen too. Thing is, the lady goes for her seat, misses, and ends up on the floor. Cheers from the fans, even Root and Warner have had to stop because they are laughing so hard. She's OK, back up to bow to the crowd.
"This is the seventh hundred partnership for the first wicket between Chris Rogers and David Warner - five of them have been in the second innings."
Aus 103-0
Wood for the penultimate over of the day, faintly roared to the crease. Could well be by the travelling fans. As the lights take effect, Warner plays a lovely straight drive for four, so good he gets a pat on the back from his frenemy Chris Rogers. Though it's emptying quickly inside HQ, the Aussie fans remain in big numbers. They're having a great time. One over to go.
When will Australia declare? Can England save this game? Or do you just want to get something off your chest?

50 for David Warner
Aus 92-0
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
How often do we see David Warner clean up in the second innings? A horrible shot in the first, Warner is now taking this game on for Australia, just as he has so many times before. A 16th Test half-century comes up, the left-hander well set for an assault tomorrow morning. Warner averages 51 in the second innings, compared to 43 in the first. He was dropped on nought, mind.
"If they lose this Test, I don't think England will make any changes. There are a few batsmen knocking about, but the main XI are here. It's one of those where you just pack your bags, move on, and say Australia have played very well."
Aus 88-0 (Rogers 38, Warner 49)
PACopyright: PA
Yep, plenty of empty seats at HQ now, lots of white plastic visible. Stokes, 87 with the bat earlier today, skids in under the gathering gloom, twice glided for four to third man by Warner. With how easy this pitch seems for batting, how will that effect the Australia declaration? England were bowled out in almost exactly a day in the first innings.
"If you were going to choose a track to bat 150 overs on, this would be the one. It's very flat, it's not going to change that much over the next two days."
Aus 76-0 (lead by 330)
Moeen continues to skip in as the floodlights flicker into life. Australia continue to play the England off-spinner with respect, ticking the score along while keeping maximum resources for the charge tomorrow morning. Lord's is just beginning to empty. I'll be honest, there's little more to see here tonight.
Aus 74-0 (Rogers 37, Warner 36)
England can take heart from the fact that this pitch has looked pretty flat for most of the day. There's been a hint of low bounce, but that's about it. Not a great deal for the seamers, little turn. Six wickets have fallen today, three on Thursday and, before that mad hour before tea last night, five on day two. We hammer the point that is the four-wicket slump that has left England in this mess. Six overs left today.

The umpires have asked for the lightmeter to be brought out as the sun disappears for what is likely to be the final time today. The floodlights are being readied, extending from their resting position to a spot that looms over HQ. Warner, who fell foul of Moeen in the first innings, is watchful, dabbing a late cut for three.
Aus 69-0 (Rogers 37, Warner 31)
APCopyright: AP
Ben Stokes the fifth England bowler summoned to this pretty helpless cause, his first ball pulled for four by Rogers. You sense that Australia are setting themselves for the big push tomorrow morning, but are still ticking along at four an over. Stokes looks to be struggling, favoring his side, but still produces one that beats Rogers' inside edge.
Oh Geoffrey!

Geoffrey Boycott is having none of it... but there's a definite commentator's curse imparted on Alastair Cook here.
Aus 63-0 (lead by 317)
The mystery of the cuddly rabbit in the England dressing room remains unsolved. The big, white rabbit (I say rabbit, it could be something else) has been in the dressing-room window since day one. Now it peers over the shoulders of Paul Farbrace and Trevor Bayliss, as if eavesdropping on the coaching team. Moeen to Warner, six dots.
"Warner's playing a more watchful innings this time. He's not taking the aerial route too often. He's got his first innings in the back of his mind, when he missed out on a big score."
Aus 62-0 (lead by 316)
Sunless once more at Lord's, England shuffling about to put a short leg in place for Chris Rogers. If Mark Wood is trying to bluff him in thinking it's going to be short, Rogers isn't falling for it. Too full, a full toss even, sliced down to third man for four. I wonder if there's any delivery that Rogers can't get to third man. England could probably do with a fourth, fifth and sixth man.

Tickets to the gun show
Aus 53-0 (lead by 307)
Wood, military issue haircut, short run-up, round the wicket to the immovable Rogers. Straight line, the man at short mid-wicket in play, if only to field when Rogers does a touch of bottom-hand shovelling. Hard yakka for England, but a sensational picture coming up...

Dan: Six quick wickets and we are back in the Test.
Aus 53-0 (Rogers 25, Warner 27)
There's little in this contest at the moment. It's a question of how many and how long for Australia, with England's only hope to take wickets in order to slow their progress. Moeen Ali, a man likely to do a lot of work in this second innings, continues after drinks. Three from it.

On the Nursery Ground, plenty sit on the grass and watch the action on a big screen, near to food stalls and the champagne bar. I can see what they're thinking. Wood to Warner, who persists with the fuzz on his top lip. Four through the covers, then a tickle to the fine leg boundary. Australia stepping on it. Drinks. 14 overs remain.
"The key to attacking Moeen Ali is to hit him along the floor. The two fours that Warner has hit so far have been controlled shots through extra cover."
Aus 41-0 (Rogers 21, Warner 19)
Despite the pain being suffered by England on the field, Lord's does not change. Blue overhead bathes the grand old terracotta pavilion, which sits directly opposite the space-age media centre. In the stands, those who come he regularly and those on a once-in-a-lifetime day out go through similar rituals. Chatter, snack, sip the bubbles, watch the cricket.

Ian Bradley: England very likely to lose this Test now but vital they continue to fight and treat every ball as an event.
Aus 37-0
Another change for England, with Mark Wood coming on from the Nursery End. Wood round the wicket in the beautiful evening, targeting the stumps as England strengthen the leg side. This situation must be pretty demoralising for a bowler. You've been flogged for 500 and plenty, your batsmen have not done the business and now you're back out a day later with the oppo effectively 291-0
Celebrity spotting
Aus 37-0 (lead by 291)
Moeen Ali with his off-breaks, bowling with benefit of the slope. Slip and short mid-off in place. Moeen has got Warner twice in this series already, but Warner fires a response with a dance and drive for four. After only one over, Moeen is off the pitch, through the Long Room and into the dressing room. Where's he going?
"In the third innings of a Test match when Australia have a lead, David Warner averages just over 60, with five centuries."
Aus 32-0
Wonder no longer. Moeen is on.

Aus 32-0 (lead by 286)
Even if they aren't best mates, Rogers has the courtesy to shout "your end" to Warner as a throw comes in. Broad the bowler, Anderson the fielder, sliding to do good work. I've heard a lot of references to "fieldsmen" in this series. What's the difference between a fielder and a fieldsman? I wonder how long it will be before England turn to spin?
"What people don't realise about Warner is that when he's clicked in he's got very good natural technique. He's well organised and makes the game look very simple."
Aus 27-0 (lead by 281)
Apparently Ed Miliband is at Lord's. John Major has definitely been there. There's even a rumour about Nigel Farage. That's three steps towards a Political XI. Warner watchful as Anderson is round the wicket, leaning into a flowing cover drive. Anderson back over, producing a rozzer that has Warner groping. I'd say Anderson looks at Warner with disdain, but it wasn't that pleasant.

Broad strains up the hill, resuming the decent length and seam movement that he showed both in the first innings and in Cardiff. Warner, new wand in hand, can't get the ball away. A maiden. I'll be honest, this is a more sedate start than I imagined.
"Only five teams have batted for 150 overs - equivalent to five sessions - to save a Test match."

We've got a delay because David Warner has broken his bat. He picks up the offending stick and looks at the toe end. He's stunned to discover that it's got 'Blackpool Rock' written all the way through it.
Not surprising that Australia didn't enforce the follow-on. There's a long time left in this Test.
Aus 22-0 (lead by 276)
Anderson grimaces as he pushes in down the slope, a grimace that turns into a gurn when Moeen mis-fields at long leg to allow Rogers back for two.

"It was a hard chance but it was catchable. I think Lyth should have gone the other way, with his fingers pointing to the sky. But you have a fraction of a second to make that decision."

These catches really have to be held. England missed a couple of costly ones in the first innings and now Adam Lyth has given a life to David Warner. Very good ball from Anderson, leaving Warner, who fences at the ball. Lyth, gully, moves to his right to one that isn't too far away from him. He gets in a complete tangle, parrying the ball around the post for four.

Stuart Broad to David Warner, who threw it away in the first innings and then had to watch Rogers and Smith pile on the runs. Uppish from Warner, almost finding the man at square leg. Only 76mph from Broad, the ball sticking in the pitch. You know how I said Warner and Rogers don't get on...
"Australia last enforced the follow-on in an Ashes Test at Melbourne in 2002, when they won by five wickets.
"The last visiting team to enforce the follow-on at Lord's was Sri Lanka in 2002. That match was drawn."
Aus 2-0 (lead by 256)
Swing for Anderson, bowling for the third successive day in this match and facing the prospect of doing it on a fourth too. Saturday evening sunshine at Lord's, perfect conditions for playing and watching cricket. An excellent pre-amble to a weekend night. Rogers away with a couple off his hips.
"From Australia's point of view, they've just got to come out and bat. They don't want to come out and do anything silly, just bat sensibly and lay a platform. It's tomorrow morning that the fireworks will start."

Lots of company for James Anderson. Three slips, short leg short mid-wicket. More popular than a man handing out free fivers.

It looked out to the naked eye and the review confirms it was hitting the middle of middle.

"Michael Clarke has had three opportunities to enforce the follow-on in Test cricket, but has never done it."

Stuart Broad is here for a good time, not a long time. Blade flashing outside the off stump, Broad almost comes a cropper to the leaping man at point. Just out of reach.

Ironic cheers from the England fans as Stuart Broad manages to hit one. But only because the ball hit the bat, not vice-versa.

The first ball sent down by MJ is so quick, Peter Nevill almost needs step ladders to catch it behind the stumps.
Eng 273-7
A Moeen Ali single. And now it's Mitchell Johnson versus Stuart Broad.
"Stuart Broad is still fighting demons in his head. He's not inspiring a lot of confidence. I don't think Moeen wants to be over-defensive, but at the same time he can't just be gung-ho."
Eng 272-7 (Starc 19-1-70-1)
Stuart Broad once scored 169 at Lord's, against Pakistan in 2010, but he averages just 11 with the bat in this calendar year. Two more plays and misses to Mitchell Starc.
Eng 272-7
Never has it been so obvious that a batsman is scared of the ball. Waiting for the short stuff, he squares himself up and backs away, groping helplessly as Mitchell Starc bowls a good length. Double bluff.
Eng 272-7 (Moeen 34, Broad 0)
Moeen Ali pushes a single to mid-off, putting Stuart Broad on strike. This new ball is going to be whistling round the big man's chops in a moment.

So, are you ready for what the final two days might bring us? I can take a good guess that we'll see some Aussie willow-wielding in the morning, followed by the start of England's backs-to-the-wall effort around lunch time.
Player reaction
England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Sky Sports: "We didn't get off to the best of starts yesterday but me and Cooky tried to carry on our partnership. I try to stay as positive as I can but at the same time treat every ball on its merits.
"I wouldn't say there are any demons in the pitch - if anything it's a bit up and down. We're under the pump and tomorrow's a big day for us. We've got to get our heads round the fact that we're going to have to bat 150 overs to save this match."

"The pitch is sapping a lot of pace out of the ball but the Australia bowlers are quick through the air. I've got a lot of time for Mitchell Johnson, he just kept running in. Mitchell Starc has got such a loose-limbed action, he's always going to bowl some bad balls and some very good balls."

Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh on TMS: "It was really nice to contribute to the team today. The boys bowled really well and were able to put England under pressure. We've talked about being patient and setting the right fields and making England make the mistake, so hopefully we can do that again in the second innings. I'm sure we'll bat for a while tomorrow and then give ourselves enough time to take the final 10 wickets."

All out for 312, a first-innings deficit of 254. No follow-on from Australia, just Warner and Rogers grinding England into the dirt. 108-0 by the close, 362 ahead. Blast that lead to 500, then pull out?

"Stokes looks to be getting better and better, he played with real positivity. He played the situation, nothing silly, it was a splendid common-sense innings. Jos Buttler is a wonderful stroke-player and he got stuck playing too defensively. He should have played a bit more like Moeen Ali, who played conservatively to the good balls and put the bad balls away. Buttler didn't look right."
Post update
The hosts must look to the efforts of Ben Stokes and Alastair Cook, who shared a fifth-wicket stand of 145. Stokes was the only wicket to fall in the morning session, playing on to Mitchell Marsh for 87. When the same man denied Cook a hundred in similar fashion in the afternoon, England's slide began.

Is there hope for England? Yes. The pitch continues to be docile, only the slightest hint of uneven bounce and turn. Today it took Australia 61 overs to take six wickets. What England must avoid at all costs is another collapse like that of the first innings, where they were four wickets down inside 11 overs.

"I think it will be tough for England, but I don't think you could get a better pitch than this to try and save a match on. The pitch isn't doing anything, it's straight and true with no great pace or spin. But history shows that it's not easy to do. Can all the batsmen put it together and play like Cook did?"

Aus 108-0
That is it, the end of another very good day for Australia and the beginning of two very difficult final days for England. The tourists have reached 108-0 in their second innings, a lead of 362. Some crash, bang and wallop in the morning, then probably five sessions for England to bat.
Aus 104-0
Brilliant. The cameras pick up a lady walking back to her seat, pictures shown on the big screen too. Thing is, the lady goes for her seat, misses, and ends up on the floor. Cheers from the fans, even Root and Warner have had to stop because they are laughing so hard. She's OK, back up to bow to the crowd.

Wood for the penultimate over of the day, faintly roared to the crease. Could well be by the travelling fans. As the lights take effect, Warner plays a lovely straight drive for four, so good he gets a pat on the back from his frenemy Chris Rogers. Though it's emptying quickly inside HQ, the Aussie fans remain in big numbers. They're having a great time. One over to go.

50 for David Warner
Aus 92-0
How often do we see David Warner clean up in the second innings? A horrible shot in the first, Warner is now taking this game on for Australia, just as he has so many times before. A 16th Test half-century comes up, the left-hander well set for an assault tomorrow morning. Warner averages 51 in the second innings, compared to 43 in the first. He was dropped on nought, mind.

"If they lose this Test, I don't think England will make any changes. There are a few batsmen knocking about, but the main XI are here. It's one of those where you just pack your bags, move on, and say Australia have played very well."
Aus 88-0 (Rogers 38, Warner 49)
Yep, plenty of empty seats at HQ now, lots of white plastic visible. Stokes, 87 with the bat earlier today, skids in under the gathering gloom, twice glided for four to third man by Warner. With how easy this pitch seems for batting, how will that effect the Australia declaration? England were bowled out in almost exactly a day in the first innings.

Moeen continues to skip in as the floodlights flicker into life. Australia continue to play the England off-spinner with respect, ticking the score along while keeping maximum resources for the charge tomorrow morning. Lord's is just beginning to empty. I'll be honest, there's little more to see here tonight.
Aus 74-0 (Rogers 37, Warner 36)
England can take heart from the fact that this pitch has looked pretty flat for most of the day. There's been a hint of low bounce, but that's about it. Not a great deal for the seamers, little turn. Six wickets have fallen today, three on Thursday and, before that mad hour before tea last night, five on day two. We hammer the point that is the four-wicket slump that has left England in this mess. Six overs left today.

The umpires have asked for the lightmeter to be brought out as the sun disappears for what is likely to be the final time today. The floodlights are being readied, extending from their resting position to a spot that looms over HQ. Warner, who fell foul of Moeen in the first innings, is watchful, dabbing a late cut for three.
Aus 69-0 (Rogers 37, Warner 31)
Ben Stokes the fifth England bowler summoned to this pretty helpless cause, his first ball pulled for four by Rogers. You sense that Australia are setting themselves for the big push tomorrow morning, but are still ticking along at four an over. Stokes looks to be struggling, favoring his side, but still produces one that beats Rogers' inside edge.
Oh Geoffrey!
Geoffrey Boycott is having none of it... but there's a definite commentator's curse imparted on Alastair Cook here.
Aus 63-0 (lead by 317)
The mystery of the cuddly rabbit in the England dressing room remains unsolved. The big, white rabbit (I say rabbit, it could be something else) has been in the dressing-room window since day one. Now it peers over the shoulders of Paul Farbrace and Trevor Bayliss, as if eavesdropping on the coaching team. Moeen to Warner, six dots.

"Warner's playing a more watchful innings this time. He's not taking the aerial route too often. He's got his first innings in the back of his mind, when he missed out on a big score."
Aus 62-0 (lead by 316)
Sunless once more at Lord's, England shuffling about to put a short leg in place for Chris Rogers. If Mark Wood is trying to bluff him in thinking it's going to be short, Rogers isn't falling for it. Too full, a full toss even, sliced down to third man for four. I wonder if there's any delivery that Rogers can't get to third man. England could probably do with a fourth, fifth and sixth man.

Tickets to the gun show

Wood, military issue haircut, short run-up, round the wicket to the immovable Rogers. Straight line, the man at short mid-wicket in play, if only to field when Rogers does a touch of bottom-hand shovelling. Hard yakka for England, but a sensational picture coming up...

There's little in this contest at the moment. It's a question of how many and how long for Australia, with England's only hope to take wickets in order to slow their progress. Moeen Ali, a man likely to do a lot of work in this second innings, continues after drinks. Three from it.

On the Nursery Ground, plenty sit on the grass and watch the action on a big screen, near to food stalls and the champagne bar. I can see what they're thinking.

Despite the pain being suffered by England on the field, Lord's does not change. Blue overhead bathes the grand old terracotta pavilion, which sits directly opposite the space-age media centre.

Another change for England, with Mark Wood coming on from the Nursery End. Wood round the wicket in the beautiful evening, targeting the stumps as England strengthen the leg side. This situation must be pretty demoralising for a bowler. You've been flogged for 500 and plenty, your batsmen have not done the business and now you're back out a day later with the oppo effectively 291-0
Celebrity spotting
Aus 37-0 (lead by 291)
Moeen Ali with his off-breaks, bowling with benefit of the slope. Slip and short mid-off in place. Moeen has got Warner twice in this series already, but Warner fires a response with a dance and drive for four. After only one over, Moeen is off the pitch, through the Long Room and into the dressing room. Where's he going?

Even if they aren't best mates, Rogers has the courtesy to shout "your end" to Warner as a throw comes in. Broad the bowler, Anderson the fielder, sliding to do good work. I've heard a lot of references to "fieldsmen" in this series. What's the difference between a fielder and a fieldsman? I wonder how long it will be before England turn to spin?

Apparently Ed Miliband is at Lord's. John Major has definitely been there. There's even a rumour about Nigel Farage. That's three steps towards a Political XI. Warner watchful as Anderson is round the wicket, leaning into a flowing cover drive. Anderson back over, producing a rozzer that has Warner groping. I'd say Anderson looks at Warner with disdain, but it wasn't that pleasant.

Broad gallops in with a shadow cast behind him, a short mid-wicket for nuggety shuffler Rogers. When the leftie shovels through the leg side for three, Moeen Ali is given an almighty cheer for the chase to deep mid-wicket, one of the loudest in the match. A well-oiled Saturday crowd?

These catches really have to be held. England missed a couple of costly ones in the first innings and now Adam Lyth has given a life to David Warner. Very good ball from Anderson, leaving Warner, who fences at the ball. Lyth, gully, moves to his right to one that isn't too far away from him. He gets in a complete tangle, parrying the ball around the post for four.

Aus 2-0 (lead by 256)
Stuart Broad to David Warner, who threw it away in the first innings and then had to watch Rogers and Smith pile on the runs. Uppish from Warner, almost finding the man at square leg. Only 76mph from Broad, the ball sticking in the pitch. You know how I said Warner and Rogers don't get on...

Tom, NJ: I wish people would stop talking about Ballance's innings as if he got 0. He got 23 in a huge pressure situation against some quality new ball bowling. It's not phenomenal but he's been doing far better than Bell, Lyth and even Buttler recently.
Eng 312-9
Lots of company for James Anderson. Three slips, short leg short mid-wicket. More popular than a man handing out free fivers. Anderson, the first England Test player to do the double of 400 wickets and 1,000 runs, isn't fussed by the catchers, pouncing on a full ball to drive through mid-on for four.

Mitchell Starc, the bowler, responds with a shin-high full toss that Broad somehow misses. In the posh seats, Adam Hollioake is on the phone, arranging his next cage fight. Is that the most bizarre career for an ex-cricketer? Help me out.

Dave in Teignmouth: So have we reached the sort of scenario talked about before the series where 3 & 4 look well short of form and we're wondering who on earth with a proven Test pedigree might replace one of them if their failures continue..?
Eng 288-7 (trail by 278)
Three slips and a short leg for Broad, Hazlewood with the new ball in hand, moving it down the slope and in to left-hander Broad. The sun has disappeared, there's men in dark suits just emerging from the pavilion post-tea and this England pair help themselves to three singles.

"I didn't expect there to be restricted view seats at Lord's but I'm struggling to keep up from this spot in the lower tier of the Warner Stand. Have England followed on yet?"

Here come the Aussies, Michael Clarke still with a mouthful of food. Was there not enough time to finish his cake? Stuart Broad takes guard at the beginning of the evening session, Josh Hazlewood has the ball. There are 36 overs left in the day.

Alex C Meissner: So, Broady now just 95 runs shy of another Test century at Lord's. Cough.

In other news, when I went to get my lunch from the BBC canteen, I was supposed to get a pound coin in change. When I inspected later, I spotted it was actually a two euro coin. Have I been cheated, or am I winning? I think it's the latter.

Rob Co. Clare: Re Andy in France (15:49), the people who should have "manned up" are Lyth and Bell. Broad was our most effective bowler yesterday. He can't do it all.
Post update
Thanks, Marc. Lots of chat about England and the follow-on, with 82 needed to ensure that Australia have to bat again. In reality, it probably doesn't matter whether England get those runs or not. Australia are likely to bat for a maximum of about two sessions, leaving England at least four to save the game.

Can England's tail drag this innings into tomorrow? Stephan Shemilt is your man to find out.

Tim Burrows: Who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and the Fonz, and why?
Tuffers: Obviously Bruce Lee, unless the Fonz got a bit lairy with the comb.

Hopefully you've enjoyed the Tuffers Q&A this afternoon. Now for the answer to the big question of the day...

Andy in Auzon, France: If Broad is going to talk the talk he needs to walk the walk and man up.

"England had a very good afternoon session. Alastair Cook went on playing well, his innings was splendid, he played to the situation. Moeen has played very well, he hasn't over-defended. The only real disappointment was Buttler: he's such a naturally gifted strokemaker, I think he could have been a bit more expressive."

Will Gwynn: Broad is all over the shop here.
Jay Mullings: Broad looks like he couldn't even edge one if he tried right now. Who would bet against him getting a 50?
Tea
Eng 285-7
The Lord's crowd are getting behind Stuart Broad here, who ducks under a Mitchell Starc bumper and is happy to see the ball run away for four byes. Surely they only need to get it straight? Time for tea.
Eng 278-7 (trail by 288)
Moeen Ali's no friend of Stuart Broad. After singles put the big man on strike in the last two overs, this time he takes three through the off side. Over to you, Stuart.
Eng 275-7
Stuart Broad survives... and gets a bonus two runs via a mis-field at backward point.
Eng 273-7
Ironic cheers from the England fans as Stuart Broad manages to hit one. But only because the ball hit the bat, not vice-versa.
Eng 273-7
The first ball sent down by MJ is so quick, Peter Nevill almost needs step ladders to catch it behind the stumps.
Eng 273-7
A Moeen Ali single. And now it's Mitchell Johnson versus Stuart Broad.

"Stuart Broad is still fighting demons in his head. He's not inspiring a lot of confidence. I don't think Moeen wants to be over-defensive, but at the same time he can't just be gung-ho."
Eng 272-7 (Starc 19-1-70-1)
Stuart Broad once scored 169 at Lord's, against Pakistan in 2010, but he averages just 11 with the bat in this calendar year. Two more plays and misses to Mitchell Starc.
Eng 272-7
Never has it been so obvious that a batsman is scared of the ball. Waiting for the short stuff, he squares himself up and backs away, groping helplessly as Mitchell Starc bowls a good length. Double bluff.
Eng 272-7 (Moeen 34, Broad 0)
Moeen Ali pushes a single to mid-off, putting Stuart Broad on strike. This new ball is going to be whistling round the big man's chops in a moment.

Ben Stephenson: Absolutely gutted for Cook there; such bad luck. Poor ball begging to be driven into the covers.
Matt Peck: Cook should keep his pads on, he'll be back out again in an hour.
New ball
Eng 271-7 (trail by 295)
The third umpire brings out the new ball, takes it out of its wrapper and gives it to umpire Erasmus. Australia take it immediately. Mitchell Starc to get first use of it.
