Black smoke has risen from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel for the second time, meaning cardinals in the conclave have not yet decided on a successor to Pope Francis.
The next vote will take place at approximately 17:30 (16:30 BST) on Thursday. If white smoke emerges, it means a new pope has been chosen.
BBC presenter Maryam Moshiri described the scene from her viewpoint in St Peter’s Square.
