Good day for Australia
To be 5/339 after being sent in on a greenish wicket under cloudy skies is a good effort
Gifted them a couple of wickets late with injudicious shots that brought England back into the game
All the batters got start’s except Green who won’t be happy with his dismissal
Head threw away a ton but Smith is still a chance to get his
Score of 400+ if we can get through the new ball tomorrow

How's this description in an ABC article recapping day 1? Glorious!
The Ashes had arrived at Lord's, moving from cricket's Glastonbury at Edgbaston to its Royal Albert Hall, and a gloriously dreary London sky had greeted them.
Fresh from a week of celebrating one of the great defeats in Test cricket history, and bold predictions of impending victories by "I don't know, 150 runs", England took the new ball in mouth-watering bowling conditions and had Australia bracing for an onslaught.
But it just never came.

Bazball bluster turns to Lord's lethargy as England tackles day one with a lack of energy
The stage could not have been more perfectly set for England to back up its post-Edgbaston confidence on day one at Lord's, but the hosts came out flat and the Australians took full advantage, writes Dean Bilton.

Root's a much better bowler than given credit before, but that's still disappointing and will feed their belief about their selection decisions.
Still, only 5 wickets in a day when opting to bowl is an absolute fail from England.
how long until green's spot comes under pressure?
Ochre
:o
He's 24 so I'd say about 12 years?
Got 100 two tests ago, very handy bowler for a number 6 and a freak in the field.
He hasn't been that bad.
38 and 28 in the first test and was involved in some good partnerships.
Was chronically under bowled.
He's way off being under pressure.
Get out.
Monocle
And the rebuild begins.

Many a young man …. no I need adjust that to, men of all ages for that matter have come to a reckless end chasing a root.
It’s one of life’s situation in which all semblance of sensible decision making, seemingly goes out the window.
Many a marriage, career, commercial opportunity and friendship have been harmed and or torpedoed by some bloke chasing a root.
Watching in Sky sport, This Joe Root interview is a bit cringworthy!
Hover cover on now as well as the bowlers covers. 
Anyone wondering about all the red being worn, it's for the Ruth Strauss cancer foundation.
