70.1 to A Flintoff, fullish, outside the off, just a bit of a wobble through the air, a McGrath special, Flintoff plays at it and edges, Warne takes a good catch at slip. That is a big wicket for Australia. 274/5
100.2 to MJ Hoggard, slower ball, very cleverly bowled, it's the split-finger delivery, Hoggard goes for a drive, ambitious, the ball lands safely in Martyn's hands at short cover. 345/9
2339414.0810216003
89.3 to GO Jones, just short of a good length once more and on the off, just a hint of away swing, Jones plays down the wrong line and loses his off stump! Good strike from Lee. 325/8
1516114.066510003
76.3 to PD Collingwood, full, fast, sharp inswing, finally Tait gets one right. This homes in on Collingwood's toes. Loud shout for the lbw, given! Rudi Koertzen's slow finger of death goes up. 289/6
37.3512263.2516715100
17.3 to ME Trescothick, tossed up and outside the off, Trescothick pokes at that one and only manages an outside edge. Hayden at slip takes a good catch low down and to his left. 82/1
23.5 to MP Vaughan, gone! Warne strikes again! short ball, pitched outside the leg stump and turning across, Vaughan goes back looking to flick it away through midwicket but ends up hitting straight to Clarke at short midwicket - England two down!. 102/2
25.6 to IR Bell, it's that man Warne again! the one that goes straight after pitching and Bell trying to defend it on the front-foot gets hit on the pad plumb in front of the stumps, loud appeal and Bowden's crooked finger goes up. 104/3
33.3 to KP Pietersen, tossed up and on the pads, drifting in towards the leg stump, Pietersen tries to flick but the ball spins enough to beat the bat and crash into the stumps! What a spell this is from Warne the magician. 131/4
79.4 to AJ Strauss, well flighted and outside the off, spinning in, Strauss prods at it, pad and inside edge, Simon Katich dives across the pitch beautifully and takes the catch. 5-for for Warne, another top performance from the champion leggie. 297/7
105.3 to AF Giles, full and straight, Giles just turned down the single so Harmison would not be exposed, but here he goes, trapped in front by Warne. 373/10

22.4 to MP Vaughan, fullish, on the off, Vaughan feels for that one outside the off, it's a thick edge, Gilchrist flies across to his left, that orange glove extending as full as possible and pouches a magnificent catch!. 67/2
22.5 to IR Bell, Gone! First ball! McGrath strikes again! good length ball outside the off, moving away just enough to kiss the edge of the bat as Bell flirts outside the off, Shane Warne gleefully accepts the catch at first slip!. 67/3
82.5 to KP Pietersen, Gone! Finally Pietersen's magic innings of 158 comes to an end. Glenn McGrath produces a peach of a delivery that beats bat and rearranges the stumps. Standing ovation from the crowd and Pietersen deserves it. 308/8
