England vs Australia LIVE: Ashes scorecard and second Test updates

England need a further 128 runs to win this test match but you feel all their hopes lie with Ben Stokes. He’s 108 not out and was just starting to get going when the lunch break arrived.

Stokes will need to score the majority of the next 128 runs if England are to win. In Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson he’ll have partners who can stick around for a while but Australia will target his partners when play resumes.

Lord’s is usually filled with a quiet hum and polite applause, but it took a darker turn on the final day of the Test match when Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped and the boos rang out.

While there was little debate about whether the batter was out, it was a bizarre series of events.

Bairstow ducked a bouncer, which went straight through to Alex Carey behind the stumps, paused for a moment then went to speak to his batting partner Ben Stokes, just as the wicketkeeper threw the ball at the stumps and appealed.

The decision was made after an umpire review and a furious Bairstow had to make his way back into the pavilion.

The Australian players were accosted by some of the members of the MCC in the Long Room as they headed back in to the changing rooms.

‘Same old Aussies, always cheating’ rings out across the ground at the interval.

Pat Cummins comes round the wicket to Ben Stokes and bowls on a good length. Stokes moves outside the leg stump and smashes his counterpoint down the ground for four!

He then scuffs another attempted pull but calls Stuart Broad through for two runs. With three balls left in the over, Stokes pushes the ball into the offside and takes the single leaving Broad two balls to face.

He defends both and England make it to lunch.

Cameron Green continues and Ben Stokes whacks him to the boundary at long on for four despite an athletic effort from Josh Hazlewood to keep it in.

Another short ball is right in Stokes’ arc and he hits this one even harder. Marnus Labuschagne watches the ball go over his head at deep midwicket for six!

Oh my word! Stokes continues to swing, he pulls one to fine leg where Mitchell Starc almost takes the catch, he spills it though which brings Stokes another six.

Stokes then goes to his hundred with an incredible pull into the stands! 24 runs come from the over with England’s captain truly into his stride now.

Stuart Broad is chatting to pretty much every Australian. He’s already told them all what he thinks of the Jonny Bairstow dismissal and isn’t pleased with how they’re bowling bouncers.

Broad is playing up to the crowd too. Making sure he’s in the crease whenever the ball passes the bat.

Having seen Ben Stokes take the short ball on, Pat Cummins puts four men on the legside boundary to catch the ball. Stokes goes down the ground and smashes it back at the bowler.

Dropped! Cummins looks up in time to get a hand to the ball but can’t cling onto it. That would have been a brilliant catch.

Ben Stokes decides that the time is right to take on Cameron Green. He knows that the bowling is going to be short and decides to smash the short stuff.

He spanks two pull shots in between the fielders on the legside before hooking Green away for four more. There’s also a no-ball and a single from the over.

England need 161 more runs to win.

The crowd aren’t happy with the decision to send Jonny Bairstow back to the pavilion. They’re booing the Australians and giving them a bit of stick.

Mark Taylor makes a good point on commentary that the Bairstow dismissal is similar to Mitchell Starc’s catch yesterday, by the laws of the game Bairstow is out, just like by the laws of the game Starc’s catch wasn’t complete.

Stuart Broad is the new batter and is welcomed by a couple of bouncers from Pat Cummins. One of them pins him right on the helmet and another hits the chest pad.

Broad eventually gets off the mark with a glove down to fine leg for one. Stokes ends the over with a single of his own.

There are loud boos ringing around Lord’s and chants of ‘cheats’, not something that you normally find at the home of cricket, but that was a bizarre stumping for Bairstow.

It is likely to be examined long after the day’s play finishes, and England’s already slim chances have all but dwindled into nothing.
