On Thursday, the 133 cardinals are expected to vote up to four times in the hunt for a new pope.
After the first ballot in the morning, black smoke rose again from the Sistine Chapel's chimney, just like after the first round on Wednesday evening.
To be elected pope, 89 votes are required – a two-thirds majority. Black smoke means that the cardinals have not managed to agree on a pope is finally elected, white smoke will rise from the chimney instead.
Pope Francis died on April 21, 88 years old. Since then, the cardinals have arrived one by one in Rome. On Wednesday afternoon, they were locked into the Sistine Chapel near St. Peter's Church to elect a new pope.
