430 all out, great effort. Early wickets would be nice?

England really need them, I think. If the Aussies get a start they could score big here. But if I were a betting man I think I'd be thinking of a draw.

Unless England suffer a second-innings collapse ....

Aussies are one down for 123 after 29 overs. Broad's going for 8 an over. Oh dear.

Poor pitch - not good enough for the Ashes.

145 for 2.

Warner gone for 17, Smith for 33. Rogers 74 n.o.

I take it back. This could get interesting if England get another couple of wickets fairly quickly.

185 for 3 - Rogers out for 95. Another wicket in the next hour and England will be thinking of a first innings lead.

204 for 4. This could be fun.

Voges gone for 31. 5 for 258 and the night-watchman's in.

264 for 5 at stumps.
