You look lovely. Tea time and 3 for 180. Not a bad session for our mob. Plenty of cricket to play yet . I'm off to bed for now.

I put the Aussies slightly ahead but a lot more play due yet.

Come on England, get that coffin lid nailed down good and hard.

Aussies will now try to reach 500 and if so that will be the first time this series that England will be put under pressure.

First day definitely to the Aussies...lots more cricket due yet.

Yep. Good captain's knock by Clarke ably supported by Smith. Some bad choices by England in using DRS this time around.

A total of 500 odd will give us something to bowl at. The pommy batsmen will be a bit tired after two days of running a round the park chasing boundaries. :D

A little over an hour to go before the start of play. Looking forward to seeing a big total being racked up before letting the bowlers loose on the pommy batsmen.

This is the first time a decent first innings score has been achieved which should mean a win at best or at least a draw.

Here's hoping it's a win for the Aussies. If the pitch and weather hold it should be a great test match.

Nah...I'll settle for a draw :)

Nice ton and a half by Clarke. Top knock.

Not much fight in the boxer today. :nope:

Yep Rocky should stick to boxing :haha:, and a very nice innings from your skipper Mr Clarke though

Haddin looks like he's turn up to play as well.

Why in Gods name did he opt for the review!! :o

A blind man on a galloping horse could see he edged the ball :nope:

Dunno. There is the 400 up for Australia. This is lovely to watch. :)
