Yeah in the balance. Aussies day but only just I'd say and mainly because of their tail rather than what's on the board.

Just Aussie's day agreed but that was pretty much secured on winning the toss.

First hour tomorrow should be interesting and then, for those of us who get some sleep, what will we wake up to?

Best days for batting suggested to be days 2 and 3 - hopefully we can be batting early afternoon session tomorrow! Getting Clarke out will be key first thing, along with Haddin who has a knack of getting in and hanging around with the tail!

Betfair have England to win at 19/5. At one point during the opening day's play they drifted to 6/1  Huh?

Today could conceivably shape the rest of the series. Big day. Come on lads. Need to be in control come 7am

Clarke streaky 1st ball against Panesar, could have been caught on another day!

If there was any fielder Haddin wanted that to go to, it was Monty!

All Australia here in 1st hour, England's body language looks shocking here! Flat pitch...Australia could get a sizeable 1st innings score. Big effort needed before lunch.

Australia's session there, and all these dropped catches are going to cost us. Aus in control now.

So 570 - 9 dec. preceded by Lyon smashing Swann for 6.

Only 2 results left now

Bailey dropped on 10. Clarke dropped on 18 and Haddin dropped on 5.

Just cost England a cool 286!! Ouch

England's only big of luck came off the last ball when the Aussies failed to review a shout against Carberry which would have been given out lbw.

What strikes me again is how Aus were able to move the scoreboard on at will where as England plodded along to 35 off 21 overs. Whilst in this situation run rate isn't imperative if England are to get back into the series they do need to play a more aggressive brand of cricket.
