The game is into its second day and at the close of play on Thursday England had scored 364 runs for the loss of six wickets with captain Andrew Strauss hitting 161 not out.
The Roy
al visit comes the day after Andrew Flintoff announced he would retire from test cricket after the Ashes series.
The England all-rounder, who was the hero of England's victorious 2005 Ashes campaign has been plagued by injuries in recent years and will now concentrate on one-day cricket.
When the Queen and the Duke arrive at the cricket ground in central London they will be met by Keith Bradshaw, secretary and chief executive of the Marylebone Cricket Club, who will introduce them to representatives from the Australian and British cricketing associations.
The Royal couple will then watch part of the match before walking on to the pitch to meet Australian captain Ricky Ponting's Australian team and management and Strauss's teammates.
Before leaving the Queen and the Duke will have lunch in the cricket ground's committee dining room.
She last attended a test match at Lord's in May 2007 when she watched part of the game between England and the West Indies.
