And it seems we have a pitch invader already. Jonny Bairstow showed his muscle power and carried him all the way and delivered it to the security but he now has to go to the dressing room and change his jersey. Meanwhile, Warner and Broad are having a quiet chat before their battle can resume. Unnecessary stoppage, not ideal for anybody. And here comes Jonny amidst a huge cheer from the Lord's Long room. Right then, after a bit of a delay, Broad is ready to steam in for his first delivery.

Done with the pre-match proceedings and it is now time to get the play underway. The lights are on and there's a slight drizzle as the two umpires make their way out to the middle. The players of England too make their way out on the field. David Warner and Usman Khawaja are the openers for Australia and it will be the former who will take strike. James Anderson has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

There are just five minutes to go now for the start of the 2nd Ashes Test, but first, Kevin Pietersen rings the bell and both teams' players are out and have lined up for their respective national anthems. It will be Australia's national anthem first, followed by the national anthem of England.

Pat Cummins, the skipper of Australia, says that they would have bowled first as well. Informs that Mitchell Starc comes in place of Scott Boland. Adds that Boland has done well for them but they wanted a different variety. Shares that there are a couple of areas they want to tidy up from the last week. On Australia's record at Lord's, he says that they are selective with their history and feels that it is a fresh start. Also says that they love playing here and every Ashes Test at Lord's is special. On Nathan Lyon, he says that getting picked for 100 consecutive Tests in all conditions is special and adds that as a captain, he is lucky to have him. 

Ben Stokes, the captain of England, says they will have a bowl first. Adds that the overhead conditions have played a massive part in the decision but the pitch looks grassy as well. Mentions that Josh Tongue is a like-for-like replacement for Mark Wood. Says that Joe Root performed really well with the ball last week and he might change the game with the ball here as well. Mentions that he was really happy with the energy the lads put into the performance last week but in the last hour or so of the Test match, Australia were better.
