Told you 300 would be excellent on this pitch- even 220 is not awful - the Aussies will struggle to reach 200- much  closer game now though.

Sloppy batting has done this, it's not the pitch. We might well knock them over but 220 is poor.

Overcast conditions is the biggest reason pwa- granted some poor batting too -lets blow them away.

8 batsmen got themselves out. But yes lets home we blow them away.

I knew we should have picked Bresnan.....

Watson gone, edge to Finn. Needed that we hadn't started well.

I'd hoped that the poster's curse would strike!!

[PaulWinch again]

Cowan gone first ball! Now if we could get Clarke.

Bye bye Aussies

[Chris Smith]

Now it gets interesting.

[PaulWinch again]

It's more batsmen getting themselves out, hopefully Clarke will continue that trend.

[bertlambshank]

ha ha!

[PaulWinch again]

Get Clarke quick England, we need him gone.

[PaulWinch again]

What a delivery from Finn, how did that not get Clarke?!

[PaulWinch again]

Good to see Finn's pace up.

200 looks a long way off for the Aussies - plenty time left tonight - more wickets will fall.

[PaulWinch again]

Need to get Clarke early.

[Villan For Life]

Need to get Clarke early.

You read my mind. He's a genuinely world class batsman.
