3rd Ashes test - England v Australia match thread

[Gandalf]

And another with the final ball. Get in there! Really hammered them there.

England ripping through aussie attack and should have them all out for 250 odd

Worry is that in these conditions aussies will also have big success especially hilfenhaus and siddle - expect to see england 5-6 down by the end of the day for about 170, we are in for a thriller here

strauss and collingwood have a massive job on here

Good, finally all out. A bit worrying that the Aussies fell so easily. Fingers crossed with the English top order! I'm quite hopeful after that effort, but it changes in a matter of minutes.

cook gone already no surprise as he struggles with that line just outside off on pitches like this.

Ive already got a horrible feeling unless strauss or collingwood get a big score we could be all out for 160-170

Looking pretty decent going into tea. Cook was a bit stupid, but Bopara looks like a man determined to make a 50.

All in all looking healthy. Worrying forecasts of rain tomorrow, so we need to just dig in and make sure we build up an innings lead.

Maybe not.

Still, looking half decent.

Bopara has to go absolute shite.
