This is a test match? - part 2

19 overs, 119 runs, 5 wickets

What an amazing hour and a half's cricket. There was some quite extraordinary hitting by Gilchrist and, even more so, by Lee who hit two sixes out of the ground over the stand! Simon Jones finished with a well deserved five wickets.

And the convicts will follow on for the first time since 1988. I was a bit worried that Vaughan would bottle out of the aggressive decision but he hasn't. It's not over but England have their boot on Australia's neck now.

It's official - Vaughan has given up

The Wheeliebin is bowling.

Trent Bridge Day 3

A wild and wacky morning followed by a much more conventional afternoon and evening as Australia tried to dig themselves out of a really deep hole. England really must win now. Nothing else is remotely acceptable. Objectively the game situation is overwhelmingly in England's favour and, perhaps more importantly, the convicts are rattled as Ponting's outburst this afternoon shows.

England need to go for the killer punch. This Australian team has little experience of losing so it's a perfect opportunity to kick them when they are down. They have made a specialty of doing that to others for a decade. It's payback time!
