    Back to back Ashes hundreds is no mean feat.

    3 hundreds in last 3 tests against Australia. 19th test century in his 90th test and averaging 46.

    Underrated player who has dug us out of the doings today.

    In the previous 18 Test matches when Ian Bell has scored a century, England have never lost the game

    another terrific innings from Bell .. he is now possibly the best, certainly the most in form test batsman in the world

    Well batted Ian Bell.

    A shame that he couldn't see it through to the Close with Bairstow though.

    Still without that innings we would be up to our necks in the brown stuff as it is we are probably up to our waists.

    We need 400 from our first innings I reckon to ensure that we don't lose.

    You always get a feeling that El Collapso is on his way with this lot. Hope not, we need to post a biggun to have a chance here and our tail needs to wag big time.

    Well done Bell

    Right, I'm gonna get on the jubilee line before it finishes, and before the tube gets infiltrated with the stripey tie brigade!

    What with the Royal baby watch and The Ashes - it's all going on in Paddington at the mo!

    FFS, 2 wickets is not a collapse. If the crowd at lords is anything like you lot they all be muttering about the collapse, willing the next man in to fail, which he inevitably will in that poisonous an atmosphere.

    11.15am start I hear because the Queen is being introduced to the teams

    Anyone. Know how that affects the sessions

    Surely she could have got up 15 mins earlier rather than making us all fry in the sun

    Yeah, because you've never had a reign delayed start to a match before.

    Hope you enjoyed the marvellous reception and atmoshpere.

    No sign of the Queen and apparently she left after an hour .... Well worth the 15 minute delay

    A really good day's play at Lord's, I was near the Aussie fanatics, a bit of decent banter.

    An added bonus was that Wales and Lions prop Adam Jones sat at the end of my row for an hour at the end of the day!
