I swear Panesar was released from the squad earlier on today.
Correct young sir.

Correct and correct. Didn't notice that. Got it from some Auzzie website lol

Just wanted to see the Australian team but all I can find via google is the England team.

Well this isn't looking good. Reckon we'll get some play in this afternoon at some point though, clear weather on the way apparently.

lol

Only just heard that Phillip Hughes announced he'd been dropped on Twitter.

Yeah, quite funny tbh!

Rudi Kertzen is giving an intervew at the moment and saying the ground is still a bit too soft at the moment.

So whats gone on today? Not alot?

Just turned it on, Is it just the Aussies who have batted today (Currently 121-1)? Surely England couldn't have batted and been all out yet, and I'm sure there would be more comments about it on here if we had already batted and got all out.

Play began at 5pm.

England began with wayward spells from all our quicks, Australia made us pay and raced to 85-0.

Swann was brought on and in his first over removed Katich LBW for 46, but replays suggested he should have had Watson a couple of balls earlier by the same method. Aleem Dar made a bad call there.

Ponting came in, looked nervous early on but finished the day on 17, whilst Watson has passed 50 and therefore accomplished more than Philip Hughes had in the first two tests.

The close of play at 7.10pm saw Australia 126-1.

Personally I think it's ridiculous how they stopped play then when people had paid £75 for a ticket when they could have quite easily gone on another half hour. Something really needs to be done about play allocations after rain delays. Personally it's not bad for me as I'm going on Sunday and there may be a lot of play to make up by then, but I feel sorry for people who went today and only got 30 rather dismal overs by England.

Something spectacular will have to happen for this to be anything other than a draw.

Saturday and Monday have plenty of rain forecast.

It makes it hard to get into. :(
