No I just appreciate good play

Where's Jim by the way??

[brfcshabba]

Could do with early wickets to get rid of the openers

[adopted scouser]

Ponting Gone !

[adopted scouser]

3 gone ! good prediction Chesh

[Cheshireblue]

Just call me psychic.

I think there may well be another. Jones is all over them.

[Shaddy]

As soon as Hayden went, I knew this was going to happen. Hayden's poor form is a *very* large part of why the top order is failing. He deserves to be dropped.

[Billy Castell]

Can any Australians enlighten us with any names to look out for when Ponting/Warne/Gilchrist and the other 30+ guys retire ?. At the moment the only names I know are Clarke and Tait.

Oi Pyskick!

Langers gone

Keep it up!

[Ste B]

Nearly another on there, Bell just couldnt make it stick, but Hoggard is bowling a cracking spell here.

[Billy Castell]

60-4 now according to the BBC. We're shredding them to pieces, and they have no Gillespie to provide stubborn resistance.

[brfcshabba]

99-5 Gilchrist in - never thought i'd ever be saying that

End Of Play - lets build on that tomorrow.

Hows it haydens fault that the rest of the top order is failing?

[brfcshabba]

Which Rod Marsh?

The talkSport numpty or the Ex England selector?

[SouthAussieRover]

I just don't believe it

Surely England will force the follow on more so from a psychological point of view.

[Nate]

Why Hodge isn't playing is beyond me.

[neekoy]

This is getting ridiculous, we have three umpire decsions that could possibly affect not only this match but now the entire series

First ball after lunch Jones is gone caught behind. England are then six down and we are into the tail end but instead they go on to make another 100 runs.

Ponting and Martyn are given LBW for big inside edges and now we are on the ropes. England are playing better but Australia must have smashed a mirror over a chinamans head before coming on tour

Where do you get the green tinted specs from ??

I would concede that Martyn was robbed, but aslo suggest that the umpiring decisions have evened themselves out over this series. (Pietersen/Bell @ Edgbaston, Bell @ OT)

Fact is, this is one of the most keenly contested series in a long while, and both teams are playing competitive on the field, and also enjoying themselves once the days play is over.

For a fan its been amazing from the first session of Lords to the last at Trent Bridge, and we still have 8 out of 25 days left.

Oh diddums.

Cricket watchers the world over are praising the standard of umpiring in this series, and rightly so. But the resident convicts can only scrape around for excuses and this is the best you can do??!!

I know nowt about rugby but apparently you're getting stuffed in that as well just now - has Billy Bowden popped down to umpire some tri-nations???

Wise up and smell the kanga sh:te loser.
