December 2, 2006 - Australia v England, 2nd Test, Adelaide, 2nd day

91.2 Lee to Collingwood, 3 runs, on his legs, whipped through midwicket and there it is! Collingwood's third Test hundred. He clenches his fist, punches the air before waving the bat to the dressing room. All of the England players are on their feet, clapping and applauding, as indeed are the crowd who give him a loud and appreciative standing ovation.
