GILLY, GILLY, GILLY.
Was on track for the fastest hundred ever. The record though is still held by Viv Richards. On the last ball he faced for the chance to break the record Hogard bowled it so wide of offstump that the tallest man in the world wouldn't have been able to reach it.
Anyway he hot his hundred in the end and Australia declared with both Clarke and Gilly both not out. Now the England openers have to face 7-9 overs having been chasing leather all day in +40 degree heat. Good luck because Strauss and Cook are on a hiding to nothing.
