Follow all of the action from Cardiff from the First Test between England and Australia.

After Alastair Cook feel for 12, Joe Root was once again the man to turn fortune to England's favour, with a knock of 60 - with Ian Bell also going ten runs past his half-century.

Speaking after close of play on Friday, Australia's Nathan Lyon insisted that the tourists are still in the Test.

"We're definitely still in it," he told the BBC. "If we bat two days the result will go our way. There's no reason why we can't dig deep.

"We've got to learn from our first innings with the bat - be more patient. There were too many 30s in the first innings, so we need to try and push on a bit more and a couple of our top five to get big hundreds."
