Day one, second Ashes Test, England v Australia, Lord's 1:41am: Three boundaries off that Pattinson over, making 12 from his 14 overs: 0-68 from him. England 4-219. India's R.Ashwin, clearly taking a keen interest in this match, recognises what an uncharacteristic performance this is from the fiery young right-armer. 12:52am: South Australia coach Darren Berry steaming about the use of technology so far in this series. Got to say he's got a point in comparing the Siddle overrule to Agar surviving in the last Test. 12:50am: Losing wickets due to over-stepping is a problem that's certainly affected Australia for a while. Siddle again today. 12:37am: Generally in warm/hot conditions it's a good thing for a captain to be bowling his seamers in short spells, although today I think the use of Pattinson has been due to his inability to settle more than anything else. 1st: 0-12 off 2o (2 fours) 2nd: 0-4 off 2o (1m, 1 four) 3rd: 0-11 off 3o (1m, 2 fours) 4th: 0-14 off 3o (3 fours) 5th: 0-11 off 3o (1 four) Sorry if I'm harping on this. It's just a combination of my high hopes for him, and my belief his form today has let England off the hook. Doesn't have to be taking wickets; being tight would be sufficient. 12:28am: Anyone seeking a bit of a laugh while watching, and you're not getting it from me, you might be interested in the following Twitter account, a parody of how a boisterous American sports commentator might describe cricket upon watching it for the first time. 12:18am: As Ashton Agar toils in tandem with James Pattinson the man he replaced in the Test team, Nathan Lyon, gets a vote of confidence from India's chief tweaker R. Ashwin. He was evidently more impressed with Lyon's work in India than John Inverarity, Rod Marsh et al were. 11:36pm: Glad I wasn't the only one who was shocked to see Trott go in such a cavalier fashion, after a 99-run partnership with Ian Bell. Our man at Lord's, Greg Baum.... And the editor of cricketing bible Wisden, Lawrence Booth... 10:24pm: My colleague Rohan Connolly sceptical about the identity of the Australian great added to Sky Sports' commentary team for this Test... 10:08pm: Clarke has been aggressive with his bowling changes but former Victoria and South Australia wicketkeeper Adam Crosthwaite reckons more could be done with his field placements. 9:54pm: Former Australian paceman and newly appointed NSW bowling coach Geoff Lawson advocating a more hostile bowling approach for Jonathan Trott. 9:16pm: As the TV cameras show Lord's VIP guest leaving the ground our own Greg Baum gives his verdict on it from the press box. 9:07pm: I'd also like her to leave - to guarantee no more interruptions to the game. Different priorities, it seems. 8:14pm: What a thrill this must have been - Queen Elizabeth got to meet Ashton Agar! She should've brought her sword and got the knighthood over and done with. Disclaimer: may have stolen this gag from countless people on Twitter. James Pattinson and Ashton Agar look on after meeting Queen Elizabeth before the start of the Lord's Test. 7:41pm: A shuffle in the Australian batting order, with Michael Clarke and Phillip Hughes swapping positions. I know Clarke's got a bad record at No.4 but I really don't like this change, especially one Test into a series. While No.5 might be ideal for Clarke in this current team he needs to accept more responsibility and bat at No.4. Just my view. 7:17pm: Seemingly no weather concerns at Lord's. But as a life-long Melburnian I refuse to take anything weather-related for granted. 7:16pm: As conjecture swirls about the composition of the England team - specifically, who Finn will be dropped for - veteran English scribe reckons Tim Bresnan is looking the most likely. 7:05pm: Could there be a huge selection shock for the second Test in a row, this time from England instead of Australia? Michael Vaughan suspects so. Chris Tremlett has had a torrid time with injuries since the 2010-11 Ashes and was not in the official 13-man squad, but has been training with the main group at Lord's in recent days. 7:02pm: Aus A team: Nic Maddinson, Aaron Finch (c), Alex Doolan, David Warner, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine, Josh Hazlewood, Fawad Ahmed, Pat Cummins, Gurinder Sandhu.
