Ben Gardner and Yas Rana discuss all the action from the opening day of the second Test at Lord's which saw Australia finish proceedings on 339-5, with Steve Smith unbeaten on 85*.

Josh Tongue looked the pick of the pace bowlers and picked up two wickets on his Ashes debut, while Joe Root struck twice late in the day to give England hope.

Earlier in the day, the highlight of the morning session saw Jonny Bairstow pick up and carry a 'Just Stop Oil' protester from the field of play before the start of the second over.
