14th over: Australia 34-1 (Bancroft 5, Khawaja 22) Good morning from England, all. Thanks JP for the build-up extravaganza. I hope that’s not overstating the case. Stuart Broad starts in understated
fashion, with a proper loosener on the thigh pad that Khawaja glances for two. Thanks very much. Then another goes in a similar direction, not quite as short and a bit squarer. Another leg-stumper is flicked square cleanly but a boundary is saved as it goes straight to the man at square leg. 10.59am BST
The players and officials are making their way out to the middle at Lord’s. The clouds have rolled in, it’s cool, and the floodlights are on.
England will be hungry for
Australian wickets.
Stuart Broad is at the top of his mark... Now it’s over to Geoff.
