England having a great morning session with Australia on 203-8. They should be all out before thend of the day.

Just been & watched 30 mins of it at lunch, massive lob on, massive. Tears in my eyes almost.

Just panicky, my old man says wait til both teams have batted to judge the wicket, any wicket that has Australia 80-7 as it has today, makes me nervous.

For those of us that haven't been watching the cricket please can you confirm that it is the cricket that brought tears to your eyes and not your MASSIVE lob on!!!

The cricket caused the lob on, the lob on caused the tears, and the bar tender called the police.

That's how I roll y'all.

Just watched the highlights on Sky - Onions was on a hat trick with nagging accurate line balls and Anderson was near unplayable swinging it very late both in and out. Superb stuff.

Any wicket that Andy Flintoff can't get a wicket on must be flat as a pancake.

I can see Strauss and Bell cashing in. Get the Aussies out for under 250, get a lead of 200, then let them try to bat out the draw whilst reminding them of the 1-0 series score.

Just got back from lunch to see the score: incredible!

Lets hope so.

I see the bookies still have the draw, odds on. (Washout tomorrow)

If England bat well (please), they can get past Australias score by the close, bat a session on Sunday, then put all the pressure onto them.

I hope Johnson radar is still hilariously off, if he swings it at 90+, tough to face.
