Glad KP got his 50. If Trott can get there, it will mean the top 4 all getting half centuries...

Collingwood looking ropey early on.

Under pressure, as he knows a low score here and Morgan might get the nod in Sydney.

I really don't think that's how this England operate. Colly will play through the series, but may be 'rested' for Sri Lanka, back against India.

I hope I didn't jinx Trott...

England trying to make things difficult for themselves here, Trott nearly ran out.

It's a hard one to call.

If England win this one and retain the Ashes, is that mission accomplished?
Or do you still want to go all out in the test at Sydney to ensure a series win on foreign soil?

If it's the former, you can probably carry an out of nick Colly for one more game.
If it's the latter, and you need your no.5 to be scoring runs you'd have to go with Morgan.

That said, Colly has played the last few deliveries quite well so we might be getting a bit too far ahead of ourselves.

England will want to win the series outright, not just retain the Ashes - if possible! (that's what I call getting ahead of yourself).

Colly is settling now.

Looking forward to hearing about Ricky's meeting at the close...

That was poor from Colly. He should have learned his lesson from Johnson's first ball. What was he thinking?!

Ah well, here's Belly.

Poor shot from Bell there.

England 5 down.

And the problem is they're starting to get bounced out - the same way that Prior was last innings.

Also, getting fed up of Siddle turning to the crowd when he takes a catch. :oD

Time to grind it out for a bit.

Stop going after the short ball.

I hope Prior learns from this mistake - Ricky's going to go bananas!

Out & a no ball.
