I'm just gutted that lunch has interrupted this session

[NTA]

Some time earlier in the series, the commentators announced that, at one anthem singing, there were 11 England players and 22 back room staff including a couple of subs.

What the fuck are all those people doing?

[dogmeat]

If England was an animal you'd put it out of its misery

[MN5]

@NTA will be happy the two rangas are at the crease at the same time. Both sporting magnificent beards too. England’s fight back begins here.

[NTA]

That was shit, skipper

Tough chance, bloody hard to get those on the follow through

these two will both get hundreds now

[NTA]

Didn't hit him. Got the stump. Lol Marnus is tapping the off stump and nothing is moving.

[MN5]

Stokes obviously glued the bails on at lunchtime

[No Quarter]

LOL that's awesome. Clean bowled, reviews, not out.

Should have been taken, but catching a ball coming at you while you are charging forward is a tricky business.

Nobody saw him do it because rangas have no soul.

Time for Lyon

It’s true. I once saw him walk up to an automatic door and it didn’t even open.

Bairstow will be out caught at first slip off Lyon

[No Quarter]

Seriously good 50 from Stokes coming in under all sorts of pressure and the best bowling lineup in the world (ever?) with their tails up. Boy does he needs to go on with it though.

[sparky]

England reached new levels of shit in their batting before lunch. Decent fight back by Stokes and Bairstow in the afternoon session but it won't be enough.

[NTA]

@sparky hard to sustain that after a break but it's been a worthwhile fightback. About time.

[NTA]

No idea why Bairstow is wearing a vest - muggy 26°C at the ground.

Unless it's to hide his moobs. In which case I sympathize. Nothing worse than a thin shirt for a husky guy.

[NTA]

Stokes has worn a few.

Got some advice from the peanut gallery as he was going off for tea. Didn't like it.

[NTA]

Great shot.

Lyon struggling to get consistent line with the left/right combo and not much assistance from the deck.
