Over-by-over report: Follow all the action from day two at Edgbaston with our team of writers

As the rain starts to fall, Umpire Aleem Dar tries to stop Shami bowling the first ball of his over, but the call is so late that Shami has to go through with the delivery. Kohli has something to say, and the covers are wheeled on.An eventful over, as Crawley creams a four, then edges Bumrah just short of the slip cordon, before Lees loses his woodwork.

“Your weather forecast of drizzle has happily turned out to be wrong, “ muses Colum Fordham, “but your prediction of the last pair not detaining England for long has ultimately proved right, but not after carnage off the wayward bowling of Broad who, in my humble opinion, should not be allowed to bowl to aggressive tailenders.”

Such a bizarre over. You could almost see Broad’s brain processing the information in real time - like a man standing in front of a slot machine: this ball, I’m going to get him.A no ball means Bumrah steams in for one last delivery and Lees hangs his bat in wooly fashion. The ball slides thankfully between bat and pad, clipping the stump, thanks very much.England run a leg bye off Shami and Lees picks up four through that handy devise of the thick inside edge.
