Sadly, I'm working so won't be joining them They had pictures taken with Vaughan, Gower and McGrath apparently! England did well today, all the pre-Ashes hope that'd they would be competitive seems to be holding true. The day belonged to Ali though, getting those two crucial wickets. Still think it will end a draw though, especially as the weather for Sunday looks horrendous.

It is the shortest first innings in Test history. England currently 135-3.

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,597 User: 88	If England lose this now from the position they're in, it will be one of sports biggest ever cock-ups! Australia look shattered of confidence. Guess England will try and build up as big a lead as possible in the morning session and then try and bowl Australia out. Their first innings score was crazy, such a bottle job from their top order batsmen.

Michael Clarke is so out of nick at the moment, but their middle order looks so weak as well. The Aussies have been awful but England have been brilliant. Broad with the ball, Root with the bat and the fielding throughout has been superb.

I do miss The Ashes not being on free-to-air live TV. The 2005 Ashes was probably the greatest series with it being on Channel 4. I was certainly wrong about my prediction of how the Ashes was going to go after the Second Test. I believe England were 66-1 to win 4-1 at the end of the Second Test.
