Day three, second Ashes Test, England v Australia, Lord's 2:11am: Highlights of the second session from day three, courtesy of the England and Wales Cricket Board (just tried and it worked for me here in Australia so hopeful video will work for everyone). Joe Root does it in style, cutting Agar off the back foot in the small gap between point and cover point all the way to the boundary. Moves to 103* from 247 deliveries, with 12 fours. It's his second Test century, and first as an opener. Excepting the chance he gave Haddin yesterday he's been almost uniformly in control. A great talent. England 4-178. Seems like it's pretty good by historical standards too. 12:23am: Just to prove it wasn't just me railing at the third-umpire's decision to spare Ian Bell. Here's Ian Botham... SA coach Darren Berry... Michael Vaughan... Long-time Australian cricketing physio Pat Farhart... And former Australian quick Geoff Lawson, who also has a big clip for Ian Bell for standing his ground... 11:37pm: By popular demand, a poll on when Alastair Cook will be satisfied he has enough runs to play with, assuming Australia continues to struggles to make inroads into the England batting line-up. Poll: When will England declare? By tea on day three By stumps on day three By lunch on day four Irrelevant - will be bowled out Total votes: 189. 11:32pm: These unprompted no-ball referrals from umpires after dismissals are getting absurd, the latest after Pattinson's scalp of Bresnan - when about half his foot was behind the line. Well said by Southern Stars seamer Megan Schutt... 10:23pm: If you're at a loose end during the break the web's foremost cricket-video aficionado, Rob Moody, has produced has own tribute to Shane Watson and THAT front leg that bowlers adore. 8:53pm: England now 3-67, with lead just reaching 300. With that in mind the following doesn't bode well for Australia. 6:42pm: Day 2 summary: While the day began with a deserved five-wicket haul from Ryan Harris and ended with a stirring three-wicket salvo from Peter Siddle in between it was awful for Australia. For it to capitulate for 128 on a pitch this true (again helped by a last-wicket fightback) was embarrassing. While Usman Khawaja's shot to depart was clearly the worst - and Chris Rogers' the ugliest - he had many friends. While Shane Watson top-scored he again failed to kick on and, more significantly, compounded his dismissal with an awful decision to waste one of Australia two reviews seeking in vain to overturn that leg-before call from the umpire. Total votes: 10801. Poll closed 20 Jul, 2013
