Wow what a days play yesterday was! Disapoitned at England losing 3 wickets mind as it just keeps Australia in it. One good session from England tody will just about taken Australia out of the game but if England get rolled for around 128 then the Aussies will feel they can still win this game!

This one is far from over. the Aussies will think that they can chase anything from around 420, England should be getting a 500+ lead.

With the wicket ripping up, Swann had a field day in this innings, let alone later on. It's as good as 2-0 and I'm not scared of tempting fate 😉

So a 5-0 whitewash still on the cards then.

At least it will be mild!

Another huge gulf is behind the stumps. Haddin looks garbage of late. He didn't even move for three regulation catches today.

As long as we can get 150/200 that should be the match. Hopefully we can make 300+ though.

Decent start this morning. These two batting sensibly so far. OK, not scoring quickly but not giving their wickets away either, which is the right balance.

If we can carry on in this vein, we can be up to 270-280 perhaps more by the end of play which would be a lead of close to 500.
If I was Aus, I'd stick their leggie on for a bit pretty soon.

Nothing quite like leaving only survival for the side batting in the last innings.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them put in for an awkward ten or fifteen overs at the end.

The ball starting to do some weird things off the surface for the quickies. Australia have absolutely zero chance of anything in this game. It's almost anti-climatic they are so bad.
