    Holy hell, that was incredible. England in with a shout of actually winning the thing.

    Let's wait to see what they do when they get in to bat, shall we?

    Because goodness knows they're just as capable of this kind of a collapse.

    Shoot. This one would have been worth getting up for.

    Result in play after all? I'm shocked.

    Mother Nature would have to be awfully cooperative for that to happen. The Guardian OBO is saying this could be the best day weather-wise of the test.

    • And there you are -- Australia all out for 263. Onions gets 4-58.

    Oh, bloody hell.

    Cook caught by Manou, and England are 2-1.

    Bopara and Strauss need to put up a nice stand here.

    Bopara just had a nice 4, could have his eye in pretty quickly.

    This is going to be an entertaining weekend ... I can already tell. Guess I'll have to get Star Cricket working again.

    Just about dragged that one back on.

    If there's one thing I've learned about England test cricket, it's to *never* get excited until both teams have had their innings. You just never know what's a par score.

    Hope not to jinx it, but Bopara and Strauss have now brought up the 50, and are sounding as though they're getting pretty settled.
