1.1 |
Johnson to Cook,
FOUR,
"catch! yowwww" cry the slips but it's off the meat of Cook's blade, flicking behind square for four
|
1.2 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
good comeback! My word, that was close to Cook's off stump at all! Nor, indeed, Cook's outside edge
|
1.3 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
outside off and left alone by Cook. No swing for Johnson
|
1.4 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
outside off and left alone. Too wide, and there really is no pace in this pitch. That carried through low to Haddin, too
|
1.5 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
on his legs at 91.6mph, clipped to North at square leg
|
1.6 |
Johnson to Cook,
1 run,
on the back foot, then rocks forward to nudge it for a single. Nicely done. Steals the strike

3.1 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
Strauss leaves it alone outside off
|
3.2 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
quick ball, 91.4mph, but comfortably wide from Johnson
|
3.3 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
a better line, but it's remarkable to see the speed gun report that at 91.2mph when the ball barely carried through. It's a deathly slow pitch, this. An absolute pudding, as it has been for about four years
|
3.4 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
outside off, left alone
|
3.5 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
good, testing line on the off stump, forcing Strauss back into a defensive block to leg
|
3.6 |
Johnson to Strauss,

neat turn of the wrists through midwicket. Strauss off the mark

5.2 |
Johnson to Strauss,

better ball - that's a good, tough delivery to face. A bouncer and he sways out of the way
|
5.3 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
in the channel but comfortably left alone
|
5.4 |
Johnson to Strauss,
FOUR,
awful ball to a man so comfortable on the back foot. Smashed for four past point.
|
5.5 |
Johnson to Strauss,
no run,
fuller and better length, though that too came right out of the meat, shooting to mid-off
|
5.6 |
Johnson to Strauss,
FOUR,
slightly uppishly flicked but powerfully hit through midwicket off the middle of the bat. Pure timing and a poor ball is capitalised upon by Strauss

7.1 |
Johnson to Strauss,
2 runs,
squeezed off the back foot behind square. "Waiting, waiting - yeah go on, go on" is the urgent call by Strauss.

7.2 |
Johnson to Strauss,
FOUR,
horrifically wide! Strauss flung the bat at it and did really well to even get bat on it, let alone time it as well as he did
|
7.3 |

Johnson to Cook,
no run,
wide of the off stump and Cook shuffles forward before deciding to leave it alone
|
11.3 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
bowled - well bowled. Much better from Johnson, attacking the off stump - the corridor just outside - and that kept low on Cook, passing his outside edge
|
11.4 |
Johnson to Cook,
FOUR,
well, not entirely in control really - feeling for it outside off and playing it down through the gully

16.1 |
Johnson to Cook,
FOUR,
short, wide and treated appropriately by Cook, who cuts hard forward of point and it flies away to the boundary

16.2 |
Johnson to Cook,
FOUR,
another bad ball, Cook hammers this one even better, he gets over it and punches off the back foot through cover
|
16.3 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
better ball this time, tries for a yorker and it's kept out easily
|
16.4 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
good line now, he's pushed it in towards the off stump, that's the sort of ball that had Cook lbw in the second innings at Cardiff, but here he gets the full face of the bat on it
|
16.5 |
Johnson to Cook,
no run,
left alone outside off

16.6 |
Johnson to Cook,

FOUR,
oh dear! What a terrible start. Short, wide and square cut for four. And immediately Johnson's back under pressure
|
45.2 |

oh dear! Cook misses his century and Johnson, of all people gets the breakthrough! It's a straight ball that keeps a touch low and strikes Cook in line, Billy Doctrove gives him lbw

FOUR,
shouts of 'catch it' but there's no fielder near that, it's clipped uppishly off his pads, over square leg for a stylish boundary to get off the mark
|
49.2 |
Johnson to Bopara,
no run,
better line, just outside off, and defended
|
49.3 |
Johnson to Bopara,
no run,
not a bad short one there, it was at least aimed at the body, but Bopara walks across his stumps and gets out of the way

90mph or 146kph, angled across Bopara, who leaves

75.3 |
Johnson to Collingwood,
1 leg bye,
on his pads, Collingwood tucks it for a single to bring up England's 300. It's a start. A good start, but only a start.
|
75.4 |
Johnson to Strauss,
1 leg bye,
down the leg side and off his pads. Johnson yelps half an appeal but it's miles down the leg side
|
75.5 |
Johnson to Collingwood,
no run,
breaking news: swing spotted bending ever so slightly back into Collingwood

Johnson to Prior,
FOUR,
guided, although that might be a generous description, between gully and third slip and it runs away for a boundary
|
77.6 |

OUT,
what a cracker! Johnson has got one to swing back in to the right-hander Prior and it's through the gate, takes off stump. Australia are well and truly back in this!

FOUR,
take that. Superb stroke, but another poor delivery from Johnson - just too full and much, much too wide. Anderson steps back, rocks back, and flangs it through extra cover
|
99.2 |
Johnson to Anderson,
FOUR,
Johnson tries to correct his line but it's much too straight, this time, and it's down the leg side for four more!
|
99.3 |
Johnson to Anderson,
no run,
short of a length and hurries into the rib-cage area of Anderson who tucks it to leg
|
99.4 |
Johnson to Anderson,
no run,
back of a length and again nicely defended by a steely eyed Anderson, defending on the back foot and down by his toes. Boycott will be proud

Johnson to Anderson,
no run,
again short, targetting his chest and Anderson is back and defending
|
99.6 |
Johnson to Anderson,

101.2 |
Johnson to Onions,
1 run,
slashed hard - catch that! But no, it flies short of third man
|
101.3 |
Johnson to Anderson,
FOUR,
what a shot! Anderson is playing quite brilliantly here, driving on the up and opening the face. Deep backward point hasn't a hope. Class from Anderson
|
101.4 |
Johnson to Anderson,
OUT,
got him this time! Got big on him and square cut it low to gully who took a fine catch
