Won the toss and bowling first.

Any chance of a Broad special...

The Aussies have a decent record at Lord's, unfortunately.

Got to love the timing of yesterday's report decrying racism, sexism, and elitism in English cricket, and then the next day St John's Wood is in full bloom.

Bairstow showing improved catching already...

Bailey takes 5-39 for Lancashire, removing Lawes.

Great start to the day,Bairstow grips an idiot and throws them off the pitch,and Lancs take an early wicket as well

Jacks shouldering arms to one that nipped back beautifully and clipped the top of off. Lovely ball by Williams. Looking bleak for the 'Rey.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Looks like a good toss to win.

 

[waspish]

Khawaja is a pain in the arse in how good he is at leaving the ball

 

[Gabriel]

Curran gone. Very good use of the crease by Williams. Went wide and Curran played all inside it.

 

[xgorton]

68/7.

75/8.

Good lad Jonny. Should have knocked the vandalising gobshite prick out though.

I understand bowling first with it swinging and nipping about but the England bowling lines' and length are so off,
I don't think I've seen one ball hitting the stumps. lords up aim for the top of off-stump with the lord's slope

 

[meeesh]

Come on the Lancs one more to go
