more runs, Tremlett goes fuller, in search of some swing, Hughes eases it wide of mid-on for a couple

Hughes tucks this to short leg to defend
|

5.1 |

|
6.4 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
Anderson has been luckless this morning, this is a beauty that nips away off the seam, past a dangling outside edge on its way to Prior
|
6.5 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
very smartly taken from Prior down the leg side here, Anderson got his line wrong and it just flicked Hughes's thigh, made it very difficult for Prior collecting on the half-volley but he did so with ease
|
6.6 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
solid, defiant defence from Hughes to end the over, really willing himself forward and into line
|

Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
Hughes looked like he wanted to leave this but saw some late swing and poked at it uneasily
|
8.3 |
Anderson to Hughes,
1 run,
nicely done from Hughes, good intent here, looking for an attacking offside stroke, the late swing meant he couldn't free his arms but still picked up a single towards cover
|

Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
worked firmly off the hip but straight to Cook at short leg who aims a throw back to the stumps

13* (23b 2x4)
|
10.1 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
the sun is out in Melbourne now but Anderson is still finding some movement and Hughes defends carefully
|
10.2 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
Anderson will begin to curse his luck how, Hughes defends and the ball bobbles back and bounces just over the top of the stumps
|
10.3 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
massive appeal and a review from England! They thought they had Hughes out caught down the leg side but replays showed it brushed nothing but a shirt, so England lose a review
|
10.4 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
very firm in defence now, Hughes has his movements in better order now that he's been in for a while
|
10.5 |

touch of inswing finds a hopping Hughes in defence, Hughes does enjoy a hop though
|
10.6 |

|
12.1 |
Anderson to Hughes,
no run,
Hughes looks a touch hurried but he's getting into good positions to defend now
|
12.2 |
Anderson to Hughes,
3 runs,
more runs for Hughes, he's dangerous when he has room outside off, throws his arms at it, playing it well and only the snail-like outfield prevents four

13.1 |
Bresnan to Hughes,
OUT,
Bresnan has his first Ashes wicket and Hughes has gone. Full and wide, inviting a slash but Hughes didn't get enough of it, instead the edge flew straight to Pietersen who made no mistake in the gully
