00:00:00Yesterday sit back and relax and enjoy
00:00:30112 matches
00:00:32average of
00:00:34just under that 40 where all top batsmen
00:00:39Reckon that to be about the benchmark
00:00:44We'll feel change a man coming in the offside
00:00:50Gone for the hook
00:00:53Away it goes
00:00:55Innings innings underway
00:00:58And Covington it's the last ball from Glen McGrath before it's four without loss from one over
00:01:11Mr. Livener last ball uncontrolled shot by Michael Aberdeen. He looks anxiously down to fine leg. It's clear a
00:01:18Fine leg, but he's in the air for a long time
00:01:20That's in a way that'll go all the way to the boundary short and wide and not to scoff it is very strong in that area
00:01:33Sees this all right to scoff it
00:01:36All thoughts at this stage about the light
00:01:41Gillespie gives him the width
00:01:46Smacked away back with a square on the offside
00:01:50He's got the ball
00:02:00Only seven always have been lost in the day an hour can be made up at the end of the day's play to this evening
00:02:08Sedgwick dropped no ball. Anyway
00:02:14Went quickly
00:02:16Cut
00:02:19There's the signal from umpire Steve Buckner, so it wouldn't have mattered
00:02:27Gras to Atherton six slips and all gullies
00:02:31Good shot now that's an on the front foot
00:02:34Times that beautifully through the covers before
00:02:40Six men in that stiff cordon we keep on making seven all waiting for the outside edge
00:02:45But I thought I'm still not really afraid to play the drive when it's that length. You shouldn't miss
00:02:51Very good shot
00:02:54Much too full
00:02:56Won't allow those to go unpunished
00:02:59Michael Addison always in control very deliberate to cover drive from him
00:03:10Not the shot that Triscothic should be looking for really
00:03:16I'm just gonna say Mikey that this first hour or so will be an exercise in leaving the ball. Well
00:03:23Not playing shots like that
00:03:25Yes, I think so
00:03:27it's a matter of
00:03:29Being a bit patient. We know that the ball is going to be doing a bit we have seen
00:03:34These fast bowlers hit the seam on a regular basis. This pitch is offering just a touch of assistance
00:03:42Patience
00:03:44Another man joins the slip cordon
00:03:51It's a way through that slip cordon before there's no third man
00:03:56The less be looks aggrieved as well he might but it's four to Triscothic
00:04:03Yours on sky
00:04:05Would be accustomed to hearing me talking about these slips in the slip cordon these gaps rather in the slip cordon
00:04:11Went very high, but it also went in that gap
00:04:15Hate to see those gaps in the cordon ball always seems to find them
00:04:2423 without loss England Mike Allison on strike. He's on nine facing Glenn McGrath
00:04:33What a good shot
00:04:34That's even better. I think when the one in the previous over don't think that was quite a half volley
00:04:40But Atherton has just eased it through square point for four
00:04:45Now this was a better shot than the previous one
00:04:48As Paul Allen said it wasn't a half volley. The previous one was the previous one was too full
00:04:53But that was pretty close to being a very good delivery. That's the sort of length that you want with bowling
00:05:01Gone this time
00:05:03Triscothic flat-footed
00:05:05Presents an easy catch through the Gilchrist Gillespie gets the breakthrough and Triscothic will be annoyed with himself England a one down
00:05:15You could almost call that just a flash of the bat outside the off stump
00:05:23No real foot movement
00:05:27Ball slanted across the body
00:05:29Have a look at this before far away from the line of the ball his entire body is just the bat going out there
00:05:35Not a very good shot, especially against the new ball and at that pace
00:05:41Well, was that the same delivery
00:05:44Well, well another one is gone 33 for one
00:05:53Mark Butcher comes to the crease at number three for England something of a surprise inclusion for the test match at
00:05:59Edgbaston, but he made 38 and 41 there added pretty well test average is 25
00:06:07Best of 116
00:06:11He's already scored a hundred against Australia
00:06:14in Brisbane
00:06:20Was back in November 1998 he's out in the middle now facing a rampant Jason Gillespie
00:06:36Same field six men waiting for the catch slip and gully
00:06:39Well, the crowd did groan and moan that went into the ground before it got to Matt Hayden
00:06:49Nice juicy full toss if you can think that a full toss at about 90 miles an hour juicy
00:06:56Just a bit late on it butcher
00:07:00Think if that came couple of overs later he would have been punished
00:07:09Oh
00:07:15There it goes again, he's got all of that pretty well one bounce four runs
00:07:20Well, that's the one I was referring to just now almost identical to the shot. He played before lunch in that very very short session
00:07:28He's gone for it. He's got four for it
00:07:32There's always that anxious look from Atherton as he plays this hook shot
00:07:36Gets the ball high
00:07:38Does McGrath and so does Atherton does that anxious look and seeing the ball in its travel?
00:07:43very wide of fine leg
00:07:50It is a good bouncer that he wants to play up that rye look from McGrath could have gone anyway went for four
00:08:05Hammered away very confident shot from Mark Butcher
00:08:12And helps ease a few nerves at the start of an innings 43 for one
00:08:26Free delivery at first up
00:08:29Short and down the leg side hit away for four comfortably by Mark Butcher
00:08:33There was a look at determination as well
00:08:35It was a very poor delivery, but Mark Butcher very keen to latch on to it very keen to make sure it went away for four
00:08:42Leaving at this level you want to get your first delivery away
00:08:45In difficult conditions and quite cold and damp
00:08:51And that's a loose when we saw that from Brett Lee this time from Shane Warren despised by butcher
00:08:56Oh
00:09:00It's so bad that butcher couldn't get a bat on it Gilchrist couldn't get a glove on it
00:09:13Three buys
00:09:20I don't know the keeper thinks about this England have moved on to
00:09:2352 you don't see this too often Shane Warren
00:09:27It's a leg of that bounce is probably about three times
00:09:30Dribbles its way through butcher can't reach it neither can Gilchrist
00:09:41The outfield has slowed down but Damien Martins I'm gonna be able to stop that racing away down the hill towards
00:09:49the tavern stand
00:09:52Butchers third boundary for Atherton has four fours and ninth boundary the innings
00:10:00You just tell from that delivery that it's not searing pace it's coming on to the back nicely from the quicker ballers
00:10:07The point that both captains made that Stephen war electing to ball first, but he did say that he thought he looked a decent pitch
00:10:21It's a way through the gap between point and the second of the gullies
00:10:28But you're enjoying the extra pace from Lee he's having to really bend his back to get any life out of this pitch at all
00:10:36And it's width down the hill width that butchers looking for he gets good depth in the crease
00:10:42Back foot goes way back
00:10:45Gets the width that he wants the ball goes down the slope
00:10:52So

00:13:07Taken by Mark Warrick second slip didn't take long for McGraw did it England 75 for 2 in the 25th over
00:13:18Butcher goes for 21
00:13:21It's accurate it's probing and it's deadly from McGrath
00:13:26Glen McGrath takes over from Brett Lee wicket to wicket bowling angled across Mark Butcher
00:13:31Another excellent catch from Mark Warrick second slip. It doesn't miss it doesn't miss many
00:13:44Pouched him
00:13:47A second week, it's gone and it's Mark Butcher England 75 for 2
00:13:57Well, here he is Graham Thorpe back in England colors
00:14:00He hasn't played an inning since the 4th of June when Walker Eunice bowled him out in that
00:14:06second test against Pakistan
00:14:10Superb average for England over 41 runs
00:14:15Per visit to the crease
00:14:33Well, that'll make Thorpe feel better a to feel the ball on the bat and be to get off the mark
00:14:45Oh
00:14:49Now is it gonna get there I don't think it is quite
00:14:54Slow down
00:14:58We get three wrong that shot so Mikey look to me as he's been at the game for was it six weeks
00:15:05Absolutely, nothing wrong with a shot. And again, it's the way of the two Michael Atherton insisting on this run. You can see there
00:15:11So just jogging taking a few pieces on the pitch thinking I might not have to run
00:15:19Pushed him and he got three
00:15:23Four ballers use them by Australia just a couple of those for Shane Warren
00:15:32It's my supplied
00:15:34Time well down the ground long chase for me. I don't think he's gonna win it though
00:15:40He doesn't
00:15:43Exquisite timing
00:15:45That's his fifth boundary
00:15:48And he's looking pretty solid Mikey
00:15:54Beefy I think you have been on here enough times. No, you shouldn't be tempting fate
00:16:00But I will agree. He is looking quite solid. That was a good shot
00:16:09A
00:16:15Great delivery from Brett Lee. That's just the sort of pool that dismissed Ian Ward
00:16:23At Edgbaston
00:16:26Could so easily have gone off hand or inside edge onto stumps
00:16:32Well
00:16:34Actually swung back into him too as well
00:16:37Let's hit him on that bottom hand. I think to
00:16:41Just got tangled up in his legs
00:16:43Let's see if it hits that hand. Yeah, it does right on those fingers. He just took it off the bat in time
00:16:49Good delivery there chased him come back into him crafty and a bit of extra bounce
00:16:53Even before the appeals have finished superb piece of bowling by Glen McGrath's completely hoodwinked at the turn
00:17:01That's the 15th time that he's dismissed him in test cricket. He really is McGrath bunny
00:17:08Well, he's not happy with that isn't a bit a good piece of bowling here from McGrath
00:17:12We're just saying he's not happy with that. He's not happy with that
00:17:15He's not happy with that. He's not happy with that. He's not happy with that
00:17:17He's not happy with that. He's not happy with that
00:17:19He's not happy with that isn't a bit a good piece of bowling here from McGrath. We're just saying about no swing
00:17:24Well, this is not swing that seam it ducks back into him there
00:17:27but no shot and that's not going to miss so mike atherton leaves for 37 and
00:17:32That's the third wicket down for 96
00:17:41Well, mark ramprakash has changed counties since his last lord's nightmare
00:17:47Overall average of just 26.4 and a quite horrendous average here of just 7.36
00:17:58But he's been uh in the runs for his new county surrey
00:18:03He'll have to be in good form to keep these australians out glenn mcgrath 2 for 22 now
00:18:09Following his his magnificent 8 for 38 here four years ago
00:18:13That's quick from lee and again. That's into
00:18:16Thorpe's hand. The last thing england need is another hand injury to a leading batsman. Nasser Hussain already sitting this match out
00:18:28He's away this time away through mid-off big gap there
00:18:33Gillespie in pursuit
00:18:37And in the 32nd over the hundreds up for england
00:18:39And
00:18:44As well after that played beautifully just behind square for four
00:18:49That's thorpe's first boundary takes england on to 117 now for three
00:18:59Well, this was a short delivery there good bouncer there from brett lee but an even better shot there from thorpe
00:19:05Smash that one square of the wicket there keeps it down to as well. There's no need to because there's no fielder out there
00:19:18Beautifully balls
00:19:21Well, that's worth celebrating for brett lee
00:19:24That's just about as good as it gets for him. I think
00:19:27That is the end of mark ramprakash. It was a studded forward defensive shot
00:19:32Which just wasn't up to the task
00:19:34Now it is a good day for australia
00:19:38Joy on the face of brett lee. Look at the effort there. It's a ball of full length goes through the defenses of ramprakash
00:19:45middle stump
00:19:46Pegged back. Does he enjoy that? Yes, that's one for him brett lee mark ramprakash has gone for 14 england 121 for four
00:19:59So mark ramprakash replaced by alex stewart
00:20:0438 years old now playing his 112th test match
00:20:08And averaging around about 40
00:20:11for england, this is a testing time then for everyone any man coming in now with
00:20:16Nine overs four balls left of the evening lights just gone
00:20:19A little bit gloomy and having had that little glimpse of sunlight
00:20:23Just to spoil us all for at least at least a minute
00:20:26It's now back to um late evening or early evening gloom
00:20:29Clouds are still overhead. Brett lee has just bowled a lovely delivery to get rid of mark ramprakash
00:20:37That's online too

00:22:35Hurry they're going fast
00:22:38Accent from 14 990 with free air and the confidence of australia's best factory warranty
00:22:49So
00:22:53England are on 121 for four. There are five balls of glenn mcgrath's 16th over to be bold
00:23:02And I think that thorpe and stewart can expect a very warm welcome this morning don't you david
00:23:10We talk about what the coaches were saying last night buchanan of australia vital to get into england early doors
00:23:18England's coach duncan fletcher said that they were looking for 350. Well, that is a lot of work to do
00:23:25Score standing at 121 for four
00:23:28Graham thorpe on 16 alex stewart yet to score
00:23:32350 seems a long way away
00:23:35He played beautifully yesterday. Graham thorpe. He's been out of the game since early june
00:23:42Here's mcgrath
00:23:44Play
00:23:46No, let up in the attacking field three slips two gullies
00:23:50Cover mid off and a wide mid wicket. Here's mcgrath around the wicket
00:24:15Outside the line
00:24:18Point of contact was outside the line. I don't think there was much doubt the ball would have come back
00:24:25And hit the stumps but stewart got a good stride in and made sure that he was
00:24:30Outside the line of off stump at the point of contact
00:24:34So it looked at full speed anyway
00:24:37The ball nips back down the slope no looseness from mcgrath absolutely bang on straight away stewart's outside the line of off stump
00:24:53Might come back for two here good running good running from thorpe
00:25:00Showing no ill effects
00:25:02From that calf injury that's kept him out
00:25:05Of cricket for about six weeks. Just wondered whether this morning he'd be feeling it a little bit after
00:25:11batting for some time yesterday
00:25:13over an hour
00:25:14But he seems okay
00:25:18Runs for thought back put a point just one
00:25:21So
00:25:31Yeah, there's that analysis again you
00:25:34There's a there's a quick bowl an opening bowler. You're looking to get batsman out in three main areas caught by the keeper
00:25:41bold and lbw
00:25:43And that is a very good percentage 90 42 61
00:25:48It's uh
00:25:51190 dismissals in that area
00:25:55Gone, just flick the glove a little bit of extra bounce
00:25:59Mcgrath has got the breakthrough early. That's the one australia wanted and I don't really think stewart could do much about that
00:26:07England are five down now
00:26:09Perfect start for australia. There have been no looseness whatsoever from either bowler
00:26:14Absolutely on the button once again, he has to play at it a little bit of extra bounce
00:26:20From the great fastballer mcgrath. It's stewart. He can play also, but he can't play this. It's the top of the bat
00:26:27Just goes through comfortably to gilchrist
00:26:29Great start for australia perfect start for them stewart's gone without scoring england one two six four five
00:26:36Five
00:26:41Ian ward comes to the crease for england coming in at number seven
00:26:45Fledgling test match korea just four matches averaging 17. He's promised much
00:26:51Best of 39 that was here
00:26:54Earlier on this summer against pakistan
00:27:02Wards away single down to brett lee
00:27:07So
00:27:15England 127 for five then losing a very early wicket alec stewart
00:27:27Tuck that away nicely off his head to pick up a couple here
00:27:30So
00:27:36Sent back my thought quite rightly
00:27:48Offended at that and gone that was a rip snorter of a delivery from mcgrath thorpe has gone now
00:27:56And it's a good catch behind the wicket that has gone really quickly
00:28:01You could hear the exclamation from thorpe as that ball leapt at him and he's gone now
00:28:06And this is away from his body weight. He flashes at it. He fences at it
00:28:10He groans, he knows that he's got an outside edge the ball flies through safely to gilchrist
00:28:16It's mcgrath again
00:28:18You can't keep him out as a little fiddle at that shouldn't have played at it graham thorpe
00:28:24Safe hands of gilchrist
00:28:26Two wickets that australia wanted and this is a big one graham thorpe gone for 20 england in trouble 129 for six
00:28:38Craig white comes to the crease at number eight for england
00:28:42His test match average is just 18 just over 18, but it's a
00:28:48Form of late particularly through the winter for england and last summer
00:28:53Says that it should be far better than that
00:29:03Tucked away nicely won't go for four
00:29:11That ward will just pick up another two
00:29:16So pretty secure in that area when the ball's angled in towards middle and leg
00:29:20Leg
00:29:22There's just a touch of drift as well a little bit of swing from around the wicket once it drifts onto leg stump is fine
00:29:31Better bowling over the wicked I think with a little bit of swing starting the ball on just outside off stump
00:29:39There you go wicket went for it wide delivery full length craig white goes for it
00:29:47And matthew hayden takes a straightforward catch glenn mcgrath
00:29:51Picks up his fifth wicket of the innings craig white
00:29:54a disappointing nought
00:29:57That happens when you have all those feelers in the slipcord and it wasn't really a genuine edge
00:30:02Just hitting the outer half of the bat, but there are so many men down in that slipcord and has to find one of them
00:30:10And they catch very well the australians
00:30:12Anything close by they won't floor them
00:30:16Seven wickets down 131 on the board
00:30:23Dominic cork makes his way to the crease england this morning have lost three wickets for 10 runs
00:30:31Well coach is talking about wanting 350 i've got my doubts he'll get it in two innings
00:30:40Well, perhaps runs are being sold at marx and spencer these days
00:30:46So
00:30:48Well, they're gonna sell something there
00:31:02That's nicely tied now give the crowd something to
00:31:06enjoy
00:31:08First boundary of the morning new ward playing it off his legs and timing it well
00:31:11I
00:31:13Had been threatening to do that all morning in ward with
00:31:18The ball swinging into his pads like that got that one perfectly
00:31:23started about leg stump
00:31:25Again, the wrong line from breckley, but well played very well played
00:31:37Well
00:31:38Well, you stopped me in my run-up on the last ball enjoy this one
00:31:47Oh little greeting from australia's premier bowler, welcome to the crease
00:31:57Should have hooked that into the mound stand I think
00:32:04Good morning
00:32:09It's well played over pitched and driven down the ground it'll go all the way
00:32:17Nice way to get off the mark
00:32:21Had a couple of bounces one struck him
00:32:23Welcome to the crease from glenn mcgrath, but that's the best way to answer anyone down the ground
00:32:29If it's there to be hit you have got to make sure that you hit it
00:32:32Right
00:32:36I think then mcgrath was hoping that with those short balls. Dominic caulk would be constantly on the back foot
00:32:42Well, it was full and he was forward enough to get full face of the bat onto the ball
00:32:48Playing each ball on its merit
00:32:55Was a good delivery
00:33:03That's that's the thing with glenn mcgrath's hard to pick up his length because he bowls
00:33:06And tight stumps and he comes over
00:33:08So it doesn't take a lot of variation from the height he bowls to change the length drastically a bit like joel garner used to
00:33:13Be to a degree mikey, but certainly had a problem picking this
00:33:18He's very high glenn mcgrath. He doesn't
00:33:21Bend that front leg. He doesn't lean away. He's very upright that right arm comes right over the top
00:33:28That would have been a bit painful
00:33:33I don't need to say anything
00:33:41That's time nicely
00:33:43Go through midweek. It won't go to the boundary
00:33:46Michael slater will cut that off. He'll pick up three and that's good running
00:33:50ward
00:33:52And then pull over a little incident five from it. It's 145
00:34:03Oh
00:34:05Clobbered away that's gone through mid on no one there. It's going to be a long long chase
00:34:10For brett lee. He's like an olympic sprinter out there
00:34:17Well, he had to come all the way from the offside
00:34:22Legs and arms pumping
00:34:26Somebody caught picks up four
00:34:29Australia brought a short leg in he's left a big gap at mid on
00:34:34Finds the gap from very deep in the creases get some bottom hand into the shop and works the ball through mid on
00:34:48That's going to be four as buys
00:34:53Well having extolled the way he managed to get those three bounces dead straight before
00:34:58This one was down the leg side actually swung further down there eluding gilchrist
00:35:03england passed
00:35:04150 now
00:35:16That's gone very very high and it's got the distance to it six runs
00:35:22Big top edge from dominic thaw clears the boundary down there at long leg
00:35:27And brings him six
00:35:31Checking the wind direction there. He just thinks he's gone with the wind
00:35:38Three full balls three bounces. This is the last one
00:35:44Goes for it gets it high. Where's it gone thinks cork
00:35:47Gillespie settles
00:35:50It drops over him for six
00:35:53Some applause on the england balcony and just a look
00:35:59I think there's only one winner there. Where's the wind direction?
00:36:08It's a good reaction great reaction from the ground just makes the point again, yeah
00:36:17Well, he's playing to his crowd down there they're enjoying it
00:36:22So
00:36:26He's got runs for that
00:36:29Not sure he knows where it's gone. Yeah, he's gonna get four runs. It's a mobile anyway
00:36:39Okay, let's be got it straighter and a wee bit shorter and he got it through some good pace and bounce too
00:36:45So
00:36:51Just trying to tuck it away he's flown a long way over those slips
00:37:02Seen some bounce this morning
00:37:10That's the way to the onside running down the hill with the four runs
00:37:15No mistakes with that one
00:37:25No, who's these two paul rifle one of them and big merv merv use he looks like he's enjoying life
00:37:36Four runs
00:37:40Well, it was good over up until then it was all macgras over until that final delivery
00:37:45So
00:37:50Oh good catch very fine catch indeed by ricky ponting
00:37:56Just for a moment. It looked as though it wouldn't quite reach even though it was hit hard ponting very deep at point there
00:38:02And that's the end of the pain then as far as australia are concerned dominic cork on his way back
00:38:07It's a sensational catches this from ponting cork on the attack
00:38:12Hits it well enough ponting's deep coming forward inches off the ground
00:38:17safe safe pair of hands from ricky ponting
00:38:21total cricket from australia
00:38:23He has been a pain, but the pain's gone
00:38:26They've stuck a plaster on it
00:38:28It's ponting that takes that catch that bowling change works again
00:38:33Gillespie does the business shake of the head from court 24 england 178 for eight
00:38:42178
00:38:44178 for eight now andy caddick
00:38:47With his batting at birmingham has achieved promotion from number 11 to number 10. Darren goff relegated
00:38:54To the last slot in the batting order
00:39:03Superbly bold paddock, uh not resorting to the sweep. He'd now wish he had
00:39:10Trying to use his feet but uh
00:39:12Warned simply too good for him. That's the ninth england wicket down on 181 caddick misses out this time
00:39:19He goes for a duck
00:39:22Well trying to force it away and it hits the back pad and onto the leg stump shane warne deceiving him in the flight
00:39:31Shane warned as i'm starting to expect him to do in this series clearing up the tail quickly
00:39:36Oh
00:39:38No doubt about that he's gone for nought
00:39:44Darren goff is england's last hope back at his rightful position of number 11 after
00:39:49his heady promotion at edgbaston
00:39:52But caddick's 49 not out
00:39:55Relegated goff down to number 11 again an average of under 12 in tests
00:40:02It's a bit disappointing after such a promising start to his batting career
00:40:06made a best of
00:40:0865 in his very first innings
00:40:11and made scores of
00:40:1342 not out and 51 in the first year of his england
00:40:18then all-round career
00:40:25The deep backward square is out where goff was out at edgbaston
00:40:36Oh
00:40:44Goff bagged a pair at edgbaston. He's off the mark straight away
00:40:55Lofted in the air good contact from goff and that'll roll away before
00:41:00Oh
00:41:04He must have been listening to you and a hit straight down the ground
00:41:08Well, I just think you get yourself a better chance. You're using all the bat
00:41:13It's up there he goes through it commitment to the shot
00:41:18It's quite safe still the field stays in
00:41:21Oh
00:41:30It's all over now
00:41:33Darren goff looking for the repeat
00:41:37Just got one thing wrong he missed the ball
00:41:41Well, it's just deceived in the air totally
00:41:44It's right up there
00:41:46It turns it into a yorker
00:41:48And it's right over the top
00:41:50And middle stump gets disturbed
00:41:59Oh, no doubt about that we need a new camera in the stumps
00:42:07That'll be lunch and liam moore undefeated on 23 not out
00:42:21As steve wars men battle the pride of english cricket for the old urn
00:42:26Australia's best cricket program at the wicket has all the action covered
00:42:30Michael slater may have kissed his last helmet

00:43:43There's never been a better time to become an australian citizen authorized by the commonwealth government canberra
00:44:01No ball so australia on the way
00:44:06Darren goff charging in from the pavilion end
00:44:09Ground
00:44:11Irrespective of the score on this board darren goff certainly will come charging in that is darren goff
00:44:19Three slips they are waiting for that outside edge
00:44:24A gully, I think that's pretty much as attacking as atherton can be at the moment
00:44:33Ladies off the mark we'll pick up two here
00:44:39So
00:44:4618 matches averages 40 in those test matches burst up back onto the scene really in
00:44:56Year 2000 and 2001 was splendid in in india century in a double century
00:45:03In
00:45:07Edged
00:45:10Takes the catch caddick makes the breakthrough
00:45:13He's butchered with the catch
00:45:16It's a really good start from caddick, that's a splendid series of five balls and he's got rid of hayden
00:45:24Brilliant come on the caddy
00:45:27Previous deliveries had been swinging into the left hand. Have a look at that
00:45:31That went straight through
00:45:33Right across his body
00:45:34Good line again. He had to play
00:45:37And a good catch by mark butcher
00:45:41Well taken first wicket to england. It's five for one
00:45:49Ricky ponting comes to the crease at number three for australia
00:45:53Another of these australians that averages over 40
00:45:58Two and a half thousand runs in 44 matches
00:46:03He is nonetheless in earlier than he would have wished
00:46:07Caddick has started quite beautifully bowling from the nursery and he's hit the spot. He's bowled with aggression
00:46:16He's got movement both ways and he was too good for hayden
00:46:20All ends up really three balls
00:46:22on the trot
00:46:24Before hayden managed to edge one to butcher at second slip
00:46:29England on the attack now three slips two gullies and a short leg
00:46:33ponting's first ball
00:46:36Haunting away first ball in emphatic fashion. It's a glorious stroke before through a mid wicket and it's a no ball
00:46:46So
00:46:56Better line it's gone away down to third man and it's running away up the hill and thought chasing and he won't get there
00:47:0716 for one
00:47:10So
00:47:14Edged between the gullies for four more down to third man
00:47:20Plenty happening out there
00:47:23And another gap found
00:47:32I certainly consider it a bit of a lottery when you have these gaps in these slip cordons
00:47:37Big gaps all over the place
00:47:47Leg side from goff. He's not got it together as yet. Darren goff. It's four through mid wicket
00:47:55So
00:48:05That's why you want to keep the pressure on that's a flyer from goff
00:48:09Thorpe has taken the catch at third slip, but goff is back with a bang and that's an unplayable delivery
00:48:15That has got rid of ricky ponting
00:48:18And on the right line that is the line that he wants with bowling excellent delivery good pace as well
00:48:25So
00:48:27Off stump that is the line that took off
00:48:34How do you play these
00:48:38So alex short get one similar delivery from glenn mcgrath
00:48:44Neither batsman able to cope with it 27 for two
00:48:51Mark wall in at number four
00:48:54England have made a good start. They've got rid of hayden and ponting here comes war
00:49:01Yet again another batsman averaging well over 40
00:49:07113 matches over 7 000 runs hugely experienced
00:49:13But it's england who are on the attack and england who have their tails up. This is a good start
00:49:20Oh, that's a glorious shot that's the shot of the day
00:49:23Magnificent shot off the back foot through extra cover from mark war pick the bones out of that
00:49:34Well, that was just superb wasn't he's been quite content to look at the ball
00:49:37He's played a few short deliveries
00:49:39But this is only a couple of deliveries from white himself and he's just smashed this up the hill
00:49:44Off the back foot beautiful shot there from mark war
00:49:52Yeah
00:49:54Well a success straight away for andrew caddick
00:49:58He gets wickets from the nursery and he gets them from the pavilion end as well
00:50:04Loose shot from michael slater
00:50:07He's fancied it all through he's played some eccentric shots
00:50:11And none more so than this caddy back into the attack short of a length
00:50:16You can hear the nick
00:50:18Just wants to hit it out of the ground really michael slater. There's no real control in the shot
00:50:24He knows as soon as that nick that dreaded nick that sound the ball flies through to stewart
00:50:31Slater's gone for 25. It's 105 for three
00:50:36They're back together again the war twins
00:50:40Steve's fourth test match at lord's in 1989. He made 152 not out and 21 not out
00:50:48in 1993
00:50:50Just 13 not out
00:50:52And four years ago his only dismissal here in a test match lbw to the bowler
00:50:58Who's in action at the moment andrew caddick?
00:51:00And the australian captain then made a duck. What's it going to be today?
00:51:12Mark war's come a long way down
00:51:15Unfortunately
00:51:18Mark wall gets himself
00:51:22In the way of the ball and traps it completely
00:51:28Well a mix-up with the twins
00:51:30steve wall looking to get off the mark
00:51:33it's mark wall that's
00:51:35charged down the pitch
00:51:37Sets off there. Steve warp sends him back. He's ram prakash who comes in from square. He's in trouble there
00:51:44Hits the bat knocks the bat out of his hand
00:51:49Now where would that have gone
00:51:55Chance
00:51:59Now did it carry
00:52:03Just have another look judging by darren goff's reaction
00:52:07He might just have got his hand there i'm not sure
00:52:10Yeah hard to do uh
00:52:12From a fast bowler's point of view. Does it carry?
00:52:16Well, certainly it does doesn't it?
00:52:18But it doesn't look like he's even looking at it
00:52:22It was a good effort then
00:52:30In fact the other hand almost got in the way
00:52:33So
00:52:39That'll run away for four I think fine leg is very square and australia go into the lead
00:52:55The inside edge gets mark wall through to
00:52:59The 100 here at lord's it's his second hundred in england. He's fifth against england and he's 19th in all
00:53:09And it follows on his 99 at lord's in 1993 congratulated by his brother steve
00:53:21Direct hit steve. Buckner was facing the other way
00:53:29England, uh celebrating
00:53:35Steve buckner eventually asked for the opinion of the third umpire. He had no chance of seeing
00:53:42Well, I don't think mark was uh hanging around. He's already made a little bit of the walk to the pavilion here
00:53:49I think he knows you know yourself as a batter
00:53:51He's a little bit flat-footed there decides to take off
00:53:55In comes the fielder not a good position. They're not far from the well
00:53:59It's a good throw, but isn't it from side on but he's not very far away
00:54:03And he's a meter short, isn't he? Good piece of fielding there gothy
00:54:06Well, he just whacked one past him for four took him on took his arm on and paid the price
00:54:13Well, they had a hiccup as soon as steve came in to join mark wars very nearly a run out this time mark wall goes
00:54:19a disappointing end
00:54:21to marvelous innings from mark war
00:54:24He's run out for 108
00:54:29Damien martin's had a fantastic tour of england
00:54:35He got his place in the side through pure weight of runs
00:54:48It's an impressive shot beautifully played timed the shot of a man informed
00:54:55That could be out. It is out. It's caught down the leg side steve wall gloves it
00:55:02Stewart takes a good catch
00:55:06England clawing their way back into this game
00:55:09That was the plan
00:55:11Either caught of the glove down the leg side or caught in the leg gully region. That was the plan
00:55:17And it certainly has worked lots of short balls bowled by nominee caught just brushing the glove on the way through
00:55:23A man was brought in in the leg gully position as well in case it hit the glove more fully and then bounced off square
00:55:34Adam gilchrist makes his way to the wicket
00:55:38now
00:55:39152 that
00:55:41He scored edgbaston was entertaining enough as i've seen for a long time that career average
00:55:53So
00:55:59Gilchrist off the mark this time goff's in pursuit
00:56:03So
00:56:22The ashes very well played indeed
00:56:24It's the very spirit of cricket australia and the old enemy england in the battle for the ashes the third test
00:56:31Oh, he's dragged it on superb bowling
00:56:35Australia humiliated england at the home of cricket to take a two-nil lead
00:56:39Will they retain the ashes at trent bridge or can england make a series out of it?
00:56:43It's all over now the ashes the third test day one the first session live thursday night on c7 spot
00:56:52But chinese lionfish is sick
00:56:55Who you gonna call? I think our little friend has malawi bloat. It's a gill disorder. Is it bad?
00:57:00It could be fatal meet deuce bigelow friend of the fishes but unlucky in love I was thinking maybe later
00:57:08No, I don't think so. Then deuce met antoine. I'm a gigolo a giga who women pay me to
00:57:15Give them pleasure. How'd you get that job? Just gonna fell into it. You gotta go to switzerland for business
00:57:20I'll be gone for three weeks. I would be honored to care for your fish. Hello. Hi
00:57:25Why don't you come over?
00:57:29Need some man-loving call the deuce. Hey, i'm deuce bigelow. Hi, i'm sunday on movie one
00:57:39Why was accent voted best small car 2000
00:57:42So
00:57:57Hurry they're going fast
00:58:01Accent from 14 990 with free air and the confidence of australia's best factory warranty
00:58:12So
00:58:20Golf can't believe it. The rest of the england team can't believe it mark butcher at second slip
00:58:29Well, that is what michael atherton was hoping for and darren off the edge end result wasn't quite what was expected
00:58:36right in and right out
00:58:39So catches like that shouldn't really be dropped to be honest
00:58:45They're never easy in the slip cordon, but they don't come a lot easier than that
00:58:55Just to help adam gilchrist once he's straight back into the fight after that chance
00:59:04Trescothic has to run right to the pavilion wall to
00:59:08Retrieve that ball three more to the total disappointment first thing then for darren goff. He got everything exactly, right
00:59:15But immediate counter-attack from gilchrist
00:59:24Smashed away through extra cover and the chase for trescothic
00:59:36Sprawling dive
00:59:38He could have just run up to the ball and picked it up actually
00:59:46In the air and over the top of ian ward, that's another gilchrist boundary goff thought he deserved better
00:59:56He really launches himself at the board as gilchrist
01:00:01Hits it very hard
01:00:03And when you're hitting it that hard
01:00:05It doesn't really matter if it's going in the air because you're going to clear the infield
01:00:15It's a well-timed jump from uh, ian ward he needed another couple of feet though
01:00:26Well, it's beaten goff cork he's gonna have to chase that but it's beaten him as well
01:00:32A quite superb piece of timing from damien martin
01:00:37He just gets better and better
01:00:39His first runs this morning damien martin. What a way to get off the mark for the day's play
01:00:44Just a push. Look at that. No real follow through at all with the bat. Just a push but beautifully timed and well placed
01:00:56Goff down at long leg martin, uh thinking about the second run, but uh
01:01:01australia have already made their one
01:01:04fatal error
01:01:05Taking on goff's arm
01:01:11That's a single brings up the 50 partnership
01:01:20In the air, but it's missed the fielders that's away for four
01:01:28Fortune favoring the brave
01:01:31So
01:01:40Oh nice to time very sweet shot from damien martin caddix after it that he's pulling up
01:01:50Oh very sweet looking runs, oh it's effortless it's just uh lent on this let's watch
01:01:57There we go
01:01:59Now
01:02:02Holder will think when he sees that shot being played. There's no run there. Have another look
01:02:10Shows isn't it right place right time timing. Yeah, it wasn't a half volley. It's just on the up and very nicely done
01:02:18That's going to be four more too. That's just as sweet
01:02:21What
01:02:25Well, we were eulogizing yesterday about mark wall's effortless play
01:02:31Today that mantle has been taken on by damien martin. Just look at this
01:02:36Shorter of a length this time just standing up. It's a very simple stroke. The balance is good. The timing is fantastic
01:02:43He's played it by keeping the hands high. He's played it right out of the meat of the bat
01:02:47Colin miller just uh partially hidden there. You can see him now
01:02:51He's seems to change the color of his hair every day here at lords. He's a aquamarine today
01:02:56I thought it was blue
01:02:59Turquoise any good to you mind you're colorblind exactly. Well, it looks blue to me. It's a very nice pink tie you're wearing
01:03:13Up comes the 300 for australia
01:03:17There
01:03:22They're on to three hundred and two to five
01:03:28Bollas are enjoying this
01:03:30See, uh, gillespie and mcgrath sat on that balcony enjoying this batting feast yet again
01:03:35So
01:03:44Beautifully plays that's 50 for damien martin
01:03:51Looks an easy game to him
01:03:55Which is amazing, isn't it? We talk about it. There's no big flurries having the gilkis when he goes to the ball
01:04:00So it's like a helicopter taking off
01:04:01But this guy you look over the scoreboard and he's now got 52 from 97 balls with six boundaries
01:04:06He doesn't seem to have broken sweat
01:04:17Well, they must have think yeah, they think they've got him they have got him
01:04:21Canik has fought back
01:04:24And damien martin on his way
01:04:26He was just trying to sway out of the way of that short ball from andy caddick
01:04:31Must just deflect a glove on the way through
01:04:33Well, I think what's happened is he's expected it's been banged in he's expecting it to go sailing through
01:04:38Sort of shoulder height. It doesn't goes to leave it
01:04:43It's actually off the bat
01:04:45It's the back of the bat. Well, he'll consider that to be unlucky
01:04:50But the thing that interests me the variation of that bounce that ball was banged in and didn't get above waist
01:04:55High he's gone damien martin for 52. It's 308
01:05:04308 for six shane warne comes to the crease
01:05:08With maybe license to swing who knows second new ball has claimed its first victim andy caddick has got rid of damien martin
01:05:17Nonetheless australia still leads by 121 now got four wickets left in this first innings
01:05:26Oh
01:05:31Dropped I think
01:05:33Ward at cover point goff's head goes down again. He's had no luck
01:05:37this morning at all
01:05:39england desperate to
01:05:42Break this australian stranglehold with the new ball and gilchrist gets his second life of the morning
01:05:49And darren goff having no luck at all
01:05:53Should have been taken
01:05:55Catches win matches. So they say
01:06:01Goff suffers again
01:06:04And he lets it show too
01:06:06Pulls in the air. He's not hit that too hard
01:06:11Oh, no
01:06:18That's what you get
01:06:21How often do you see that missed chance and the batsman the very next time he's on strike clubbing it to the boundary
01:06:28That's gilchrist at his best
01:06:31And goth march he's back again
01:06:35Ball full of length
01:06:38So
01:06:45Got this through as well. It's not timed but it's going to run away down the hill and ward can't
01:06:51Get a hand on that. It's four more
01:06:55Adding insult to injury
01:06:5937 fours now in this australian innings 318 for six widths for gilchrist
01:07:07Doesn't actually get that out of the screws
01:07:11Runs away down the hill
01:07:17Shane warne's on the attack. Now. He's crashed that through extra cover for four
01:07:22Australia on the lookout for quick runs and they're getting them
01:07:26Well, the think tank were together before the game started this morning the think tank of ian baltham and shane warne together
01:07:33Out on the square shane warne said i've got free license today if I get in I can do what I want
01:07:39We need quick runs
01:07:42Just the time to come in with that sort of attitude against the new ball have a bit of fun
01:07:55Gone fine edge
01:07:58He's off
01:08:00Just uh, the thinnest of edges through to alex stewart
01:08:03I think warne was looking to leave that
01:08:06Caddick has got his second wicket in two overs
01:08:10And he's fourth of the match
01:08:12australia 322 for seven warne's fun ends here just gives himself a touch of room open blade open face
01:08:21Gently through to alex stewart
01:08:24Somebody's catching them and it's the wicket keeper. It's shane warne
01:08:28Who's gone for five and australia now 322 for seven?
01:08:33Brett lee comes in at number nine for australia. He's no mug with the bat
01:08:36He's already got one test match 50. He's got a 62 not out as best and a 41 not out as well
01:08:53So
01:08:57Lee gets off the mark somewhat streakily
01:09:11It's away for four there's no third man takes the gilchrist up to 49
01:09:18Two
01:09:23Well, I think that's gone through the hands of gully as well it's gone for four and goff's heads down gilchrist has 50
01:09:34He'll feel slightly fortunate
01:09:38He's been put down three times this morning including that chance that's taken him through to 50
01:09:45Well, if you're going to flash flash hard
01:09:48Gilchrist moves on to 53 from 78
01:09:55It's butcher again straight through him deep gully look at goff
01:10:06There's no third man i've got to say that was deliberately played down there by gilchrist three fours in the over
01:10:17That's gone it's a no ball
01:10:21No ball called by steve buckner regulation nick through to the keeper and when will the bowler learn
01:10:34It's a terrific delivery is way over side on
01:10:41Here it is
01:10:43Good searching delivery just said there's enough in this pitch to keep the bowler interested
01:10:50Mike atherton at slip the head goes back. Everybody knows it's a no ball
01:11:01Well, that's gone through extra cover it's beaten the diving rampa cash and it's beaten the diving cork four more
01:11:08So
01:11:11He crunches it through that offside
01:11:16Great power
01:11:19Gets forward well forward he's got fast hands he gets
01:11:25The bat going through to the ball at great speed
01:11:32That's nicely played that's that's a fine shot
01:11:38So
01:11:55Now straight to mike latherton
01:12:00There's a very nasty infectious disease out there involves dropping cricket balls
01:12:09So
01:12:12Well, I can't believe that well mike atherton he's got a red face it just seemed like slow motion gilchrist watches
01:12:20Straight in straight out. I just can't believe it. I thought I was watching a replay for a minute then I am now
01:12:27And I am again
01:12:29And it's the same result
01:12:31Oh, dearie me
01:12:33So
01:12:35Well, the only thing you can say it was one of those that came through nice pace but
01:12:40at the height which
01:12:43Just gets that little bit awkward
01:12:45Try and get your hands up at chest height. You've got to make a decision whether to go with your fingers up or down
01:12:51But no doubt about it should have been taken mike latherton knows that the hand of acknowledgement and apology came out very quickly
01:13:04Well, that's beautifully timed so into the act again comes brett lee
01:13:11Injury to insult really it's a dominic cork suffering this time
01:13:17Another full house
01:13:19And they'd have booked their tickets months and months ago hoping
01:13:23that all the pre-tour publicity
01:13:26Would mean that at this stage of this contest england australia was still battling it out neck and neck
01:13:31Not quite the case
01:13:33But
01:13:36Good pull shot very good pull shot from annie gilchrist
01:13:42Long way away from any of the fielders there on the leg side
01:13:47Take four
01:13:48Well, he's a very good puller and hooker gilchrist
01:13:52Things just uh getting a little out of hand here. That one's not a good ball
01:13:56That's just a half track. It's not a bouncer. Not anything. It's just there for the whacking and that's exactly what he did
01:14:03So
01:14:10Now they've been there every day of this test match
01:14:15Catches win matches how right they are
01:14:18Drop catches lose matches
01:14:26Gone this time
01:14:29Goff barely raises a smile, but he's got his man at last three times
01:14:34Gilchrist was dropped off him this time stewart makes no mistake
01:14:40As uh, gilchrist gets a glove through to the keeper goff finally gets his reward
01:14:48Well, this is not something you see very often in the modern game gilchrist not waiting on the umpire at all
01:14:54Realized that the ball had been taken by stewart and just headed off
01:14:58him
01:15:03Everyone knew but not many times you see batsmen walking in these games today 183 to 78
01:15:16Jason gillespie coming in at number 10 for australia. The average is uh over 14
01:15:24A duck at edge boston
01:15:28Best of 46
01:15:30But no mean player has been used in the past as a night watchman by australia
01:15:35They don't seem to use night watchman anymore, but he has done that job
01:15:45Well, that's a shot worthy of a number four glorious extra cover drive from brett lee
01:15:59You

01:16:50To you to join us to find out more find our information line or visit our website
01:16:55There's never been a better time to become an australian citizen authorized by the commonwealth government. Canberra
01:17:03Tank up with tiger and the european pga tour exclusive to c7 sports
01:17:09Thursday your golf cup runneth over with live coverage of the world's very best from the volvo scandinavian masters. Oh, that is marvelous
01:17:17Dual champion lee westwood returns for one more crack at the title fine with u.s
01:17:22Open champ ratif houston and a field desperate for rider cup points the volvo scandinavian masters on the tour
01:17:29live and exclusive to c7 sport
01:17:32So
01:17:43The bones out of that
01:17:45Smacked away again through extra cover. It's a second boundary for
01:17:49Gillespie and it brings up the 400 for australia
01:18:01So
01:18:06Gillespie's gone goff gets a little bit of in swing pulls it full and knocks back gillespie's middle stump
01:18:19A bit more joy for darren goff
01:18:23Certainly deserves it coming a bit late
01:18:28But still better late than never
01:18:31Don't think darren goss figures truly reflect his bowling in this inning so far
01:18:37almost
01:18:3825 overs 115 runs off his bowling, but that's a good wicket 401 for nine
01:18:47Australia's last man glenn mcgrath striding purposefully to the crease
01:19:01So
01:19:04Three slips waiting
01:19:06Bolt, there it is. One ball is all it's taken caddy gets, uh, five
01:19:12five four
01:19:14101
01:19:16Shows the ball to the crowd. It's his 10th five wicket haul in test cricket for england
01:19:21And that has wrapped up australia's innings. They're 400 and one all out
01:19:26leading by 214
01:19:28So
01:19:30Just one delivery inside edge onto the stumps
01:19:34And andy caddick has done exactly what his captain wanted him to do end this innings
01:19:40Can see how happy atherton is don't want me out there any longer
01:19:47Well, that's the signal my name now goes up I keep this ball
01:19:52Always
01:19:53Still a lot of work to be done by england, but well bold andy caddick another five wicket haul
01:19:58Always valuable these five wicket hauls irrespective of how well your team is going. He did his job
01:20:08Off the outside edge
01:20:10Beautifully bowled by gillespie
01:20:12He started off with his line too wide of off stump, but he's got it. Absolutely perfect
01:20:18Perfect
01:20:19This is a top class opening attack
01:20:22Glenn mcgrath the best in the world and gillespie's not far behind
01:20:26Well, he's been working on that off stump. We were saying about just now you've got to play at it
01:20:31And gilchrist does the rest he was wrong-footed but he adjusted
01:20:35but
01:20:36Great display. Look at that seam position
01:20:38You've got to play at it
01:20:42Credit to the bowler not much the batsman could do about it. Just got that's gone for three. It's eight for one
01:20:48So
01:20:51Left-hander replaced by left-hander mark butch is in at number three for england replacing a marcus trescothic
01:21:04Atherton goes for the pool gets a top edge and it's run away before very fine
01:21:12So atherton showing aggressive intent I think
01:21:15uh
01:21:17When faced with a short ball from mcgrath, that's just about all he could do
01:21:21Yeah, not a convincing shot this one, but with an attacking feel like that just the fine leg down
01:21:26Well, he gets it fine doesn't just whizzes past the camera too as well
01:21:30Just a top edge that was token gesture there mcgrath. You can see he's pretty happy with that
01:21:35He's not too disturbed about the full run
01:21:40Great shot
01:21:43Well, that's what he did at edmuston when he dropped short when lee dropped short michael allerton
01:21:49Looked to play the hook shot
01:21:51No one out there to prevent him and he's hit it. Well
01:21:56Takes this on allerton sees the ball early
01:22:02He just stands there he knows he's gone for four it's the best hook shot he's played in the game
01:22:12Good delivery in the sense. It was absolutely straight awkward height for allerton
01:22:22Now whatever the exchange there
01:22:29It's nothing that michael allerton hasn't seen or heard before that's for sure
01:22:33It's a cracking delivery. He didn't like being pulled
01:22:38They never do quick bowlers
01:22:41The youngster and the old fella just a frank exchange of views there
01:22:48That's good shot flick of the wrist that sent it all the way down to the wicket boundary
01:22:56Third boundary for mark
01:23:11Oh
01:23:13Round his legs
01:23:14That one's turned up the hill maybe a little bit out of the foot marks
01:23:18And the bowlers follow through but it's the end of michael allerton
01:23:21in this england second innings
01:23:23That'll end the chat
01:23:26It's a terrific delivery. We'll talk about action on the ball
01:23:30Spinning the ball up the hill
01:23:33The sweep shot it just comes out of the rough area and does it spin?
01:23:37He loves it when that happens he goes round the back
01:23:41Going for the sweep action on the ball. It's spinning like a top there
01:23:45It's middle
01:23:47a great delivery once again from shane warne
01:23:50Gets rid of the big one. It's allerton who's gone and england of 47 for two
01:23:56So it's two down for england now in the second innings as graham thought makes his way out of the crease
01:24:07Oh
01:24:15Off the mark
01:24:33Well, that was just where grand thought didn't want it it was dead straight again
01:24:36Begin to bowl short
01:24:38Uh, it's a great asset to have this sort of pace
01:24:41And a lot of batsmen have what you might call a sort of blind spot exactly there where
01:24:46It's not
01:24:47Close enough to off stumping outside to sway inside it
01:24:51It's not going down leg side. It's that sort of slot just by the right shoulder for the left hander
01:24:56Is a real tough one to get out of the way, especially when you've got point whatever it is point four of a second
01:25:01He's ticking here brett leake, this is sharp bowling and another word
01:25:14Very hostile spell
01:25:16So
01:25:26Well, they're all asking he's got him that's a great spell of bowling from brett lea
01:25:32He's put every ounce of effort into this spell and he's reaping the rewards too quick bowling straight bowling
01:25:40England three down now
01:25:43But we don't want to miss this this is very special
01:25:47Youngster's got a full head of steam up
01:25:50Got a bit between his teeth. He's bowling quickly. He's bowling aggressively and he's now started to take wickies grand thought
01:25:58Does the ball pitch just outside is it outside leg stump skylines in is it going to hit the stumps?
01:26:07Quick sharp bowling he stepped up again. There's no doubt about that brett lea
01:26:12He he gets a success he gets an lbw and it's graham thorpe
01:26:25Well
01:26:39And
01:26:42A little bit of stick i'm sure banter from his teammates. You don't see it very often make the most of it
01:26:59It could be all kinds of problems here
01:27:02And even more
01:27:05Wow
01:27:06I don't know how the calling went there, but he ends up with five
01:27:10Well, does that count as no four, isn't it?
01:27:12Four that'll be because they didn't cross. So it won't be five and four steve ordered the fielding
01:27:18But what about the calling here?
01:27:22Watch this
01:27:39Oh well that went away in the air
01:27:43But it was safe found the gap steve war can't believe it
01:27:51Oh, that's easily played, isn't it? That's beautiful
01:27:56Nice try to get into position good flow of the hands and a lovely four runs just to finish off the over
01:28:02Yeah
01:28:06Weather has been a real bonus today. The forecast was mixed 60 chance of rain. They said this morning
01:28:15This one is going to go to four
01:28:18And that boundary will bring up the 50 partnership between butch and ramford cash
01:28:24At last something for the big lord's crowd to cheer about and england hundreds up as well
01:28:29Good shot very good shot from mark ramford cash
01:28:34Reputedly a very good
01:28:36player of spin bowling mark ramford cash
01:28:39It seems as if he's reading shane warne quite well
01:28:46Away over the slips
01:28:50And 50 for mark butcher
01:28:52Yeah
01:28:56Overdue a bit of luck. He had a wretched morning mark butcher in the field spilling a couple of couches
01:29:09It is beginning to put the record straight here with a very good 50
01:29:23Oh
01:29:25Well more luck for england good fortune
01:29:30Four more off an edge
01:29:39He's due some luck
01:29:41Uh, butcher didn't have a very happy time of it this morning when he was in the field. He himself dropped two catches
01:29:47And
01:29:51Certainly wouldn't have carried the first slip gilchrist had to go and it fell even short of him
01:29:59That's away behind square for four that'll reach the grandstand boundary no problem
01:30:10Hasn't been much to cheer about for the english fans, but that was something to give them a lift
01:30:17Yeah
01:30:24Beautifully time beats the despairing dive in the covers four more to butcher
01:30:39Growing in confidence mark butcher now batting outside of his crease
01:30:44Tends to push that left foot back initially and then if it's full enough coming forward previously
01:30:49He was inside his crease so that left foot would go right back
01:30:58Two toss four
01:31:14Over the top of slips
01:31:17Maybe that
01:31:19England was just experiencing a bit of luck this afternoon
01:31:23Well as he played this
01:31:25It's a ball that's banged in pacey delivery from gillespie
01:31:30Almost think that he gets this up and over the top
01:31:34No third man in position I mentioned australia is still able to attack
01:31:38So
01:31:42Up and over
01:31:52Hit it he's hit it. Oh, well
01:31:55Steve button has given him
01:31:57I think there's a big inside edge on that. I could hear
01:32:01At least a couple of noises from the stump microphone, but the australians are jubilant rampa cash can't believe it
01:32:08Shakes his head desperately disappointed, but he's got to go. He's lbw to gillespie
01:32:14Gut feeling is that he's hit it ball a good length that nips back
01:32:18Is there an inside edge?
01:32:20Is there there may have been a thin one? It's very thin if there is it's absolutely in line
01:32:27Skylines in I don't think there is an edge. There may have been two noises with the pads
01:32:33But that looks out to me. It's straight enough
01:32:36He may just think he's got a nick on it an edge on it
01:32:38He's played pretty well
01:32:39But it's gillespie that makes the breakthrough rampa cash goes for 40 england 146 before now look out
01:32:51Alex stewart is next man in for england hugely experienced. Of course 112 matches average is very nearly 40
01:32:58And he's going to have to call on all that experience now
01:33:05Yeah
01:33:07Desperate to get off the mark. Oh all sorts of trouble there if that had hit
01:33:14It's almost a suicidal run it's a good job butcher had his wits about him
01:33:24It's just over pitched and nicely played
01:33:35So

01:35:31Oh
01:35:33That's a good shot
01:35:34Beautifully timed didn't try to hit that too hard. Sometimes he does on that occasion. It was just all timing through extra cover for four
01:35:43Well again, it's a feature
01:35:46When a batsman can get his front foot forward to the pitch of the ball he just caresses the ball eases it through extra cover
01:35:53Oh
01:36:00That's whipped away by stewart through mid wicket that's going to be four more
01:36:06Too short from walk
01:36:10Might not be the best starter against spin alex stewart, but he won't mind this
01:36:24Oh
01:36:26Four more I think the war experiment may just be over
01:36:3112 off the over 177 for four
01:36:38I'll just talk around the ground this morning spectators coming in
01:36:43Thoughts of an england victory rear guard action get some runs on the board go ahead of australia
01:36:48There is a thought in the england camp also that australia are vulnerable chasing totals like 150 125
01:36:58It's bullish optimistic
01:37:09It's going to be four
01:37:10No, third man in place this controlled stroke from butcher. I just wonder whether
01:37:15Butcher feels more comfortable with mcgrath coming around the wicket to him angling the ball in
01:37:22Doesn't seem to be troubled at all by this line of attack, I think he's in nick butcher he gets in good positions
01:37:34It's going to run away for four hard into the ground by butch it's bounced over gully
01:37:40And england are racing away this morning
01:37:4425 runs scored this morning by england
01:37:49And it's not been wayward bowling just gets on top of the ball there
01:37:55And again, it's decisive footwork look there he gets back in the crease he picks up the length early
01:38:06Oh, that's out gone. Yeah, no question stewart trapped on the back foot
01:38:14And mcgrath gets the breakthrough it's only taken two balls for him to get rid of stewart
01:38:21And he's plumb lbw on the back foot
01:38:24Dangerous, you can't stand on the line to mcgrath. He's a wonderful baller who can nip it back from a good length
01:38:32Alex stewart goes back sets himself there doesn't get forward
01:38:36Absolutely banging line middle and off. It's another nip backer. We see lots of those from mcgrath
01:38:42It works. It does the trick to stewart. He's gone for 28
01:38:46england 188 for five
01:39:01Ian ward
01:39:02Comes to the crease at number seven for england australia couldn't dismiss him in the first innings. He made 23 not out
01:39:09Average is 22 in a fledgling career made his debut here against pakistan earlier this year
01:39:18He's replacing alex stewart who trapped on the crease
01:39:22Hit on the knee roll and that was going nowhere other than hitting middle and off. There you go
01:39:29He's a foot behind the popping crease
01:39:33And mcgrath didn't even bother looking back well just a glance but he was so confident that that was going to be lbw
01:39:39He was dead, right?
01:39:43Another good decision from steve buckner and mcgrath comes round the wicket immediately to ward
01:40:02So
01:40:08Edged gone first ball
01:40:12Ponting takes the catch mcgrath has produced a snorter
01:40:16And ward has gone first ball. That's a good catch by ponting that went quickly to him australia on a roll now
01:40:25Ian ward been and gone
01:40:27Got to be absolutely spot on first delivery with mcgrath racing in round the wiki. It is a snorter
01:40:35Ball pitches he's late on it
01:40:38Excellent catch excellent catch from ricky ponting
01:40:42Good gracious me. What are they doing with him?
01:40:45Leave him alone. He's got to catch some more
01:40:48australia two and two
01:40:50Mcgrath once again gets in on the action
01:40:53Ian ward's been ian ward's gone england 188 for six
01:41:00Craig white's in now. He's on a hat trick and
01:41:04He didn't score in the first innings either. It's a nervy time for craig white
01:41:10Four slips two gullies
01:41:12That was the first one stewart plum lbw
01:41:15ward
01:41:17First ball good catch that from ponting. He attacked the ball at third slip came towards it
01:41:24He loved it
01:41:30Hat trick ball no short leg just four slips and two gullies
01:41:47I'll tell you what that's flown through that has gone through quickly applause for mcgrath
01:41:53two in two for him
01:41:55A lot of australians in the ground and they're loving it
01:41:58big merv
01:42:00Ball rifle behind him
01:42:07Just short just short of mark walk now that ball climbed alarmingly
01:42:16Well, I mentioned earlier that he's cloudy some reason the balls started to bounce
01:42:24That just bounces in front of mark wall takes the shoulder of the bat quick ball is her back in harness
01:42:39Gone now just a thin edge. It's gone through to the keeper. So gillespie now
01:42:46Gets in on the act
01:42:48england are subsiding
01:42:50Butcher the man who provided the staunch resistance has gone now
01:42:55And england are seven down what a sloppy end just said he deserved a century that dream's gone
01:43:04Innocuous delivery they are it that just gets a nick on it ball goes through on fire here australia
01:43:12Three foot in no time two to mcgrath. Look at that endeavor from gillespie
01:43:17Gillespie just nicks it there. That's all he does. He's nicking through to gilchrist
01:43:24Mike butcher he's played well for his 83, but that's a poor end for for him england 188 for seven
01:43:42Dominic cork at the crease
01:43:45Average is just under 18 for england. He's in at number nine and england's resistance is crumbling
01:44:02That's up hasn't gone too far
01:44:06So
01:44:13Off the mark
01:44:17For a couple but you have to say, you know reflecting on this game to see if they won't get off the pair
01:44:24You can feel a lot better that is for sure
01:44:26So
01:44:33Thank you very much
01:44:35Shane warden gets in on the act now
01:44:37Nice comfortable catch for him
01:44:40Mcgrath can do no wrong again this morning
01:44:45Well, that didn't last long
01:44:47So
01:44:52Well, it's outside the off stump just really left the bat out there no commitment to the shot shane warne safe pair of hands
01:45:00And this game's over
01:45:09No mistake
01:45:13Court goes for two england 193
01:45:18I hear
01:45:20The revolving doors have been reinstalled on the england dressing room
01:45:26In and out in a hurry this morning andrew caddick last but one he's number 10 for england
01:45:35Featured in a hundred stand for the last wicket at esbjergsten
01:45:39In
01:45:43It's edged away safely this time though, it's wide of third slip it's going to be four runs
01:45:53Even had there been a fourth slip might just have dropped safe in front of him, but
01:45:59You almost wonder why there's uh, not just a line of men in that slipped cordon
01:46:09So
01:46:11Interesting reaction from glenn mcgrath, isn't it? There he is. You think it was off his own bowling?
01:46:16No, it's off his uh, new ball partners
01:46:19Wants him to do well as well
01:46:21great atmosphere
01:46:28That's a fine shot that has raced away
01:46:34Well, that was right out of the screws as they'd say down in australia
01:46:39Rare chance for the england banner to be waved amongst the crowd here this morning
01:46:47Well, it's sold out it's a full house
01:46:49And we're expecting to see something from england today. Well, i haven't seen a great deal, but they'll enjoy this
01:46:55Oh
01:47:03Here comes merlene she's racing away the little dame hill philly a million a million a million is all I got now a million

01:47:57Gilda the cub afl 2001 season on c7 sport
01:48:11Four more
01:48:15Well as ian botham said you might as well go down there playing some shots
01:48:18And this lead now diminished to the extent that england are only six behind
01:48:32My first thing this morning all the talk as we said was about how much england could get ahead
01:48:39About dreams idle or otherwise
01:48:42Of
01:48:45Setting australia a target the dream now to get past and make them bat again
01:48:55Mcgrath is down there
01:48:58It's four more runs though. It's been an exciting over
01:49:02An eventful over to say the least 19 runs have come from the over
01:49:08212 for eight
01:49:12So
01:49:22Well australia will have to bat again
01:49:25just to
01:49:26Complete the victory and he can be off
01:49:30the mark with the boundary
01:49:33The reaction
01:49:35From all of our michael everton who is far too experienced to know any different
01:49:40The reaction around the crowd around the ground from the crowd is that uh, i almost think number one
01:49:56Now will that carry the distance
01:49:59Inches I think in front
01:50:02of the road almost carry for six
01:50:05steve butler will just ask for
01:50:07A replay to clarify that we had a very good view from our media center position
01:50:15Naked eye as far as i'm concerned says four. That's what actually adam gilkis signaled as well
01:50:25Hilda's signaling four. Well, that should be good enough. So why do we have to have a review? It's not amazing. I mean this
01:50:31Unfortunately, the cameraman stills cameraman just in the way
01:50:37Well, what's the point the umpire asking the fielder? This will give us a clue. It's way inside that the third umpire needs
01:50:44Well, it would do if you can see the ball. No, there we are
01:50:46Oh, it's inside four runs. Thank you very much. Make the decision
01:51:00That's into the gloves that's the ninth wicket to fall
01:51:04Jason gillespie makes it four for him
01:51:07Andy caddick's method, uh, not exactly proven. It worked at edwardston in one innings
01:51:12Means that he's just glided that one straight into the gloves of adam gilchrist. That's the end of him
01:51:18Well, he's giving himself some room
01:51:20It's a regulation outside edge and gilchrist says, thank you very much
01:51:26And
01:51:28It doesn't work this time. It doesn't work very often to be honest
01:51:32And lead by 11. He's gone for seven. It's 225 for now
01:51:37So
01:51:43One to go then darren goff england's last man
01:51:51A bit of a swap around after edwardston that first test match where goff batted 10 caddick 11
01:51:58Can it got runs earned himself promotion, but that hasn't really paid off
01:52:02Here at lords. So darren goff
01:52:05For the last bastion of resistance
01:52:09What difference does it make steve war very confident that
01:52:12The game is in the bag. They've had a very good morning australia
01:52:16five wickets in the session
01:52:23That's five wickets in the hour and whatever the state of any test match that's good going
01:52:35Well gillespie thinking why did I let him get away there darren goff in behind it
01:52:43Unlike the man who earned that promotion andy caddick gives himself room yet again to
01:52:48Swing the bat through was a bit of bounce there
01:52:51So
01:52:59Oh beautifully taken that wraps it up
01:53:03Well, they do make catching look easy
01:53:06And it's a world record extended
01:53:12For mark war
01:53:16So what a way to finish mark war now at the top of the list
01:53:20Ahead of mark taylor as the world's leading catcher outside of
01:53:28The keepers and it's five wickets
01:53:31For jason gillespie. What a performance from him good
01:53:35High quality pace bowling everyone talks about glenn mcgrath, but jason gillespie is the man who's picked up five wickets here
01:53:41In england's second innings. He's done it with pace
01:53:45Look at the catch. Thank you very much
01:53:50A little flick behind that's a cheeky as well. Australia enjoying this very very much indeed as well. They might
01:53:57Flicked it away pretended to throw it up
01:53:59No doubt about it the catch completed in fine style
01:54:03Gillespie's got the ball back in his hand
01:54:06And his name on the board in the dressing room, which means a lot to these guys and so it should
01:54:15Blasts away at the top of the innings that'll do nicely for him
01:54:19um
01:54:22Michael's shot of course is undoing in the first innings, but he's quite prepared to play it again
01:54:30You know always playing these shots
01:54:39Taking a second slip advancing down the pitch. That's another wicket for paddock
01:54:45And an amazing dismissal for michael slater
01:54:49Advancing down the track to england's opening bowler
01:54:54And uh paying the price slater wanting to win the match in style
01:54:58But it's not going to be a 10 wicket victory for australia now
01:55:01Don't think steve wall will be very impressed by this at all
01:55:05Not too sure what the hurry is steve war is a man that goes for records
01:55:10And be happy to win this test match by 10 wickets, but he won't know
01:55:14And he'll be asking mr. Slater. Why?
01:55:16One would think six for one
01:55:19So
01:55:21Here's ricky ponting in that first drop for australia
01:55:26Having a thin time in this series after his promotion up to number three
01:55:32Another very positive player he goes at the ball hard a bit like michael slater
01:55:41Away past ward on the leg side. It'll probably be an all-run for if it doesn't make it to the rope
01:55:49So
01:56:11Well, no one can doubt his enthusiasm his effort
01:56:15In saving the runs, but at least it won't go down as a boundary
01:56:28Oh a sha is the substitute fielder comfortable three for matt hayden
01:56:40Those three runs bring the scores level
01:56:45So
01:57:02We get australia 13 for 2 they still need one more
01:57:09That would have pleased the darien goff
01:57:14I won't count a great deal as far as the test match is concerned
01:57:20Australia should certainly definitely win this
01:57:23Getting in perhaps just an off stump very close call though 13 for 2 australian fans
01:57:32Still wait for victory. Here's their centurion from the first innings mark war out to join the matthew hayden
01:57:41Australia 13 for 2
01:57:44Buying a single for victory
01:57:48I guess it'd be quite appropriate if mark war hit the winning run
01:57:56Well, can matt hayden get the winning run
01:58:01Yes, he can it's soon it off and it'll run away for four
01:58:05So australia have won the second end power test match by eight wickets and take a two nil lead
01:58:12In this ash's series
01:58:15Things are looking grim for england after their revival
01:58:19in the winter against
01:58:22Pakistan and sri lanka and four series wins in a row and one draw
01:58:28they're facing a
01:58:30Humiliating ash's defeat here australia two nil up after two matches. They're an awesome side
01:58:37No doubt one of the best 11s ever to take the cricket field in the history of the game
01:58:42Matt hayden finishes nine not out mark war
01:58:45Nought not out smiles all around in the australia camp. I suggest that we
01:58:50Sit back and relax
01:58:52And enjoy
01:59:11You
