6.4

Lee to Cook, FOUR, Cook pushes hard at that one and it flies right where fourth slip's waist would have been. Ponting is not overly attacking in these early exchanges

9.4

McGrath to Cook, FOUR, thwack. Short outside off stump, Cook pounces like a cobra and hammers that between point and extra cover, beautifully timed

32.5

McGrath to Collingwood, FOUR, breaking news: England have scored a run. What's more, it's four - well done them, and well done Collingwood whose cut stroke finally breaks the shackles

35.1

Lee to Bell, FOUR, messy start from Lee, firing it down the leg side and Bell tickles it fine for four. Wild and woolly...like a highland sheep on crack

35.6

Lee to Bell, FOUR, ooh! Bell comes forward tentatively, nervously even, and the ball takes the inside edge and zoots down to fine leg. He didn't have much of a clue there

38.3

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR, but a good comeback from Collingwood here, rocking back and cutting him hard through the covers. And that's four

39.3

Lee to Collingwood, FOUR, shot! That's Collingwood's favourite area outside off, cutting Lee hard behind square. He really got on top of that

44.4

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR, Warne overcompensates and drops it short, Collingwood again waits and slams this through the covers where it just has the legs to beat the chasing fielder

46.6

Warne to Bell, FOUR, one step down the pitch to another flighted ball, lofted over the infield and one bounce over the long-off boundary for four

55.6

Lee to Bell, FOUR, short outside off stump, slashed/lofted over slips, quite deliberate, quite safe, quite frustrating for Lee who sets off for long leg chuntering to himself before the ball is even retrieved

61.1

Lee to Bell, FOUR, wide, full bunger, rubbish and got the treatment. That's just sliced away by Bell who merely offered his bat to spank that one away

61.2

Lee to Bell, FOUR, ooh, delicious shot this time to bring up consecutive boundaries. This one from Lee did pitch, wideish and, well, help yourself frankly

61.6

Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, hello. Lee bangs another one in, but Pietersen has all the time in the world - or at least so it seems and that's pulled, hard, and well controlled right to the boundary

64.4

McGrath to Pietersen, FOUR, a touch of width... you can't bowl there to him and Pietersen launches himself into that one, stepping forward with a huge stride and driving that firmly for four through the covers

74.1

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, shot! That's just brilliant from Pietersen, rocking back, standing tall and hammering Warne in front of square for four. He laced that

74.2

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, even better! A quicker ball with a touch more top-spin, Pietersen is lightning-quick on his feet and crashes it slightly finer this time, but the same result.

82.5

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR, bosh! Short - very short in fact - and Collingwood pulls this powerfully, strongly over midwicket for four

82.6

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR

84.4

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, ah, that's brilliant. Only a fraction too short, Pietersen is so quick to rock back and cut him powerfully in front of square for four

87.2

Lee to Collingwood, (no ball) FOUR, and again Lee finds some bounce, this spitting up at Collingwood who guides it down to third man quite brilliantly

92.5

Clark to Collingwood, FOUR, filthy short ball from Clark and Collingwood is quick to rock back and pull it, powerfully, just behind square. Fine-leg sprints round but it's four all the way

97.1

Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, smash. The first emphatic shot of the morning, Pietersen pulling Lee from well outside off stump through midwicket. He hit that with immense power

98.1

McGrath to Pietersen, FOUR, what a shot, what a cracker from Pietersen. He walks, arrogantly down the pitch to make this loosener into a half volley and laces it through the covers

98.3

McGrath to Pietersen, FOUR, shot. This is planned, controlled aggression as Pietersen times this superbly down the ground, just to McGrath's right, for four past mid-off.

98.5

McGrath to Pietersen, FOUR, and again he goes for it - it wasn't even that short, but Pietersen is going to stamp all over McGrath here and he pulls him through midwicket, with massive power, for four more. Thrilling theatre and there's England's 300

106.1

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, opens up on the on-side and on-drives that majestically, makes that shot look easy. It ain't

113.1

Clark to Collingwood, FOUR, bissects the two fielders out on the hook and that's gone a long way - hit flat and hard - for a one-bounce four. Australia will be interested in the fact that one was in the air

113.2

Clark to Collingwood, FOUR, on the drive this time, lamped through cover, blistering shot that

114.5

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR, goes over the top, lifting that over midwicket and McGrath gives chase in vain

119.2

McGrath to Collingwood, FOUR, driven, not quite controlled, but he opened the face and the ball run unhindered down to third man where there was a big open space

126.4

Warne to Collingwood, FOUR, Collingwood takes two strides down the track and lofts the ball back over Warne's head, not timed perfectly but it beats the man halfway back at mid-off who chases back in a fruitless effort

127.1

McGrath to Pietersen, FOUR, overpitched on off stump and Pietersen launches into that and drives it past McGrath with interest

130.4

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, lovely shot, Pietersen makes another wide ball into a half volley and drives into the gap between mid-on and midwicket, super cricket

131.5

Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, Whump. Pitched up and hammered back with knobs on past Lee and mid-off. Neither moved

135.1

Lee to Collingwood, FOUR, it's an edge! An edge I tell you. But Lee is slipless and Collingwood's wafty outside edge flies through the vacant cordon down to third man for four.

139.1

Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, what a shot from Pietersen. It was wide of the off stump, banged in short and rising on Pietersen's head who hooked him in front of square for four. Terrific batting

139.5

Lee to Collingwood, FOUR, slower ball, outside off - very slow - Collingwood sees it like a beach ball and smacks it through extra cover for four. This is fine, confident yet sensible batting

142.6

Clarke to Collingwood, FOUR, down the pitch and he smacks him over his head for four! What a way to bring up your first double hundred. He receives a huge hug from Pietersen and a deafening standing ovation from the crowd. All of England's players are on their feet, and Australia clap him to a man. What a knock.

150.1

Warne to Pietersen, FOUR, lovely shot, a belter of an on-drive in front of midwicket, just reaching out for that and it races away

157.5

Lee to Flintoff, FOUR, attempted yorker went wrong and ended up a high full toss but, coming at hip height, that's not easy to play... unless you're Flintoff, who leans on that and pushes it through the leg-side. Well put away

163.2

Lee to Giles, FOUR, too much width, Giles hops around in his crease and smacks it off the back foot through the covers for a nice looking four

164.2

Warne to Giles, FOUR, pitched up, and with Warne not turning it, Giles lofts it over wide mid-on for a two-bounce boundary

164.4

Warne to Giles, FOUR, short, Giles leans back and thumps it through extra cover

165.1

McGrath to Giles, FOUR, and you can see why. A wide loosener slashed to third man. Giles likes batting out here

167.6

McGrath to Flintoff, FOUR, leg-side full toss, pumped through midwicket with vim
