Rabada to Khawaja, no run

Rabada to Khawaja, no run, some late swing back in!! Khawaja sees the ball angle away, trusts his off stump and lets it pass. The ball wobbled back inwards but wasn't going to distrub the poles

Rabada to Khawaja, no run, back of length and goes slightly wayward to end down the leg side. The batter leaves and the keeper calmly collects

Khawaja and Labuschagne are at the crease. Khawaja is on strike. Rabada will open the attack

Out walk the Aussie openers. It is Marnus with Usman Khawaja. KG Rabada with the new ball. A critical first hour of play coming up in an all important final. Slightly overcast skies, a gentle breeze blowing. Four slips in place, and a short leg

Giant flags of both nations carried along by plenty of young volunteers are placed near the pitch. And now out walk the match officials, followed by the two teams.

Pitch Report | Nasser Hussain and Stuart Broad: It is cloudy out here with a breeze blowing. Very slight chance of rain. It is a 63m hit to the leg side, and 67m for the other side. Longer straight boundaries. The clouds are intriguing this morning. It looks like a good pitch that will play evenly throughout. Day 2 would be a great day to bat. The captain will have a big decision to make. They tend to bowl first but batting first has historically been more successful. You need to get used to the Lord’s slope early and get your lines right early - move the ball towards the stumps. The nerves and adrenaline will be there, but players need to settle early.

Pat Cummins: Happy to bat first. Looks like a good wicket with a few clouds. Prep wise it has been unreal, 15 guys working very hard for that title.

Pat Cummins: Happy to bat first. Looks like a good wicket with a few clouds. Prep wise it has been unreal, 15 guys working very hard for that title. You get used to it the more you are playing, we have had about 10 days prep and we are ready. Doesn't feel like any extra pressure. WE've been here before and we've won it.

Temba Bavuma: Will have a bowl first looking at the overhead conditions.

The South African team are done with the warm-ups and they huddle up. Skipper Temba Bavuma giving a spirited team talk to the rest of his troops. They would truly believe that they can create history!
