Lawson to Langer, OUT

full and on the off, the ball jags back in, keeps dead low and Langer is trapped plumb in front. That is a most unusual hat-trick for Lawson - remember he got the last two wickets to fall in the Australian first innings off successive ball

Justin Langer lbw b Lawson 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0

The players are back onto the field now

Langer and Hayden come out to bat

Just eight runs to win here

It's Lawson to start things off
