	England 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	AJ Strauss*	c †Haddin b Hilfenhaus	55	128	101	11	0	54.45
	28.1 got him! A horrid little nibble outside off - absolutely no need for Strauss to fiddle at that one, and it carried through low to Haddin 114/2
	AN Cook	c Ponting b Siddle	10	19	12	2	0	83.33
	5.3 well bowled and CAUGHT! Angled across Cook who pushed at it meekly, edging it low to Ponting's right at second slip 12/1
	IR Bell	b Siddle	72	222	137	10	0	52.55
	53.5 bowled him, inside edge - he's out! That's cleaned him up! Bell came forward with only a tentative little push, his bat coming down in an arc and it took a thick inside edge to clatter his stumps 181/4
	PD Collingwood	c Hussey b Siddle	24	89	65	3	0	36.92
	47.5 and this time Collingwood does go for the drive and he's caught at gully! Full and wide, Collingwood gets it off a thick edge and Hussey takes the catch right in front of his face 176/3
	IJL Trott	run out (Katich)	41	125	81	5	0	50.61
	74.2 from North, that is magnificent work from Katich! Truly incredible stuff at short leg! Trott uses his feet and clips to leg, Katich at short leg makes a sharp save and quickly gets a full-blooded throw at the stumps, Trott is still in the follow through and has to turn quickly, the direct hit has him well short 268/7
	MJ Prior†	c Watson b Johnson	18	57	33	2	0	54.54
	65.3 the slower ball and Prior prods it tamely to point who takes a good, leaping catch - terrific bowling from Johnson 229/5
	A Flintoff	c †Haddin b Johnson	7	21	19	1	0	36.84
	69.4 gone! There won't be a first-innings fairytale from Freddie, flashes at a wide one and gets an edge through to Haddin 247/6
	SCJ Broad	c Ponting b Hilfenhaus	37	89	69	5	0	53.62
	90.5 got him! Much better from Hilfenhaus, pitching it up, and he goes for a huge swing and gets a thick outside edge to slip 332/10
	GP Swann	c †Haddin b Siddle	18	43	28	2	0	64.28
	85.3 got him! What a way for Australia to end the day, as Swann taps forward meekly and edges a very fine delivery behind 307/8
	JM Anderson	lbw b Hilfenhaus	0	5	6	0	0	0.00
	86.6 Anderson's out! Swinging back late, he was late on it and couldn't get his bat down in time, and Anderson's got his first duck in Test cricket! 308/9
	SJ Harmison	not out	12	17	12	3	0	100.00
	Extras	(b 12, lb 5, w 3, nb 18)	38

	Australia 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	SR Watson	lbw b Broad	34	94	69	7	0	49.27
	22.6 that's out! No worries about it. Absolutely dead in front, Watson trapped in the crease and that's taking out middle-and-leg 73/1
	SM Katich	c Cook b Swann	50	169	107	7	0	46.72
	37.1 Swann gets Katich! Oh, the follow-on looms now! Katich got an inside edge onto the top flap of his pad and it's bobbed up to short leg, who takes a simple catch and Rauf raises the finger 109/6
	RT Ponting*	b Broad	8	20	15	1	0	53.33
	26.6 bowled him! Broad's bowled him! Ponting goes back and chops it on, his off stump pegged back 85/2
	MEK Hussey	lbw b Broad	0	6	3	0	0	0.00
	28.3 got him! Broad's got three! Hussey again not showing good judgement of his off stump as Broad cuts this back nastily and raps him in front. Gone! 89/3
	MJ Clarke	c Trott b Broad	3	9	7	0	0	42.85
	30.2 he's got him! Broad's got four! Clarke went for a drive, feeling for it, and Trott took a very sharp chance at short extra cover, diving forward. Tremendous cricket from England! 93/4
	MJ North	lbw b Swann	8	28	17	1	0	47.05
	35.3 got him! Swann gets one to go straight on with the arm, North is a bit slow getting the bat down, and Rauf says that's lbw! 108/5
	BJ Haddin†	b Broad	1	13	9	0	0	11.11
	38.4 gone! Another one! Broad's got five! And what a superb ball, that has cleaned up Haddin's off stump, it's full and straightening enough to beat Haddin, who was trying to whip it through leg 111/7
	MG Johnson	c †Prior b Swann	11	27	24	2	0	45.83
	43.5 Swann gets his third! That's eight for the session! Swann tosses it up and gets some turn, Johnson is lured into the drive and an outside edge is well snapped up by Prior 131/8
	PM Siddle	not out	26	14	38	5	0	68.42
	SR Clark	c Cook b Swann	6	48	8	1	0	75.00
	47.3 erm. Oh dear. We've had some shockers this summer, but that takes the biscuit and the tin. Clark pats forward, bat nowhere near the ball which takes the top of his pad, ballooning to silly point...and up goes the finger. In the umpire's defence, the bat flicked the pad, so he obviously heard something... 143/9
	BW Hilfenhaus	b Flintoff	6	10	21	1	0	28.57
	52.5 late swing and that's cleaned him up! Didn't have much of a clue, his feet were planted and his bat came down in an arc. And that's the end of the innings 160/10

	England 2nd innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	AJ Strauss*	c Clarke b North	75	226	191	8	0	39.26
	54.3 gone! Finally there's a breakthrough for Australia, and only five minutes before lunch, North lures Strauss into a drive outside off, there's good turn and an outside edge is snapped up at first slip 157/4
	AN Cook	c Clarke b North	9	49	35	0	0	25.71
	12.3 North gets the breakthrough! That's a super delivery, pitches on middle and leg, turns sharply and bounces, Cook trying to work it to leg gets an edge that is snaffled at first slip 27/1
	IR Bell	c Katich b Johnson	4	13	7	1	0	57.14
	15.4 great catch! What a sharp piece of work from Katich at short leg! And it wasn't even the bouncer, Bell tried to flick it through leg and Katich gets the hands down low to take a ripper between his legs 34/2
	PD Collingwood	c Katich b Johnson	1	9	7	0	0	14.28
	17.3 another one caught at short leg! Johnson bangs it in at chest height, Collingwood really handles this poorly and prods it straight up in the air, a simple catch for Katich 39/3
	IJL Trott	c North b Clark	119	331	193	12	0	61.65
	94.6 cuts this hard - but straight to point, and North's taken a fine low catch. No one celebrates! And England declare 373/9
	MJ Prior†	run out (Katich)	4	16	9	1	0	44.44
	57.6 from Siddle, pushed out square of the wicket and Katich swoops and throws down the stumps! Way, way out. Lazy run from Prior - hit it straight to him! 168/5
	A Flintoff	c Siddle b North	22	24	18	4	0	122.22
	64.1 down the pitch, Flintoff tries to lift it over the top but skies it straight to Siddle at long-on who takes an easy catch, and that's Flintoff's final innings in Test cricket 200/6
	SCJ Broad	c Ponting b North	29	43	35	5	0	82.85
	74.2 Broad goes for it and this time he's found the fielder! He's gone the big slog over leg and the extra bounce does him, his top edge skies to mid off where Ponting takes a straightforward catch 243/7
	GP Swann	c †Haddin b Hilfenhaus	63	57	55	9	0	114.54
	87.4 got him this time! Good, straight bouncer and he tries to pull it but gets a thick top edge which Haddin swallows with ease 333/8
