11.2 to ME Trescothick, just short of a good length and outside the off, what were we just saying about Trescothick's footwork? The big man's feet are stuck in cement as he has a waft outside off and edges to Gilchrist, who takes the catch!. 27/2 11.5 to MP Vaughan, it's quick, it's straight, it's Vaughan at the crease, and it's bowled! The ball moved in just a touch, clipped the pad and the off stump is rudely knocked out of the ground!. 29/3 13.5 to MJ Hoggard, short and a bit of width, Hoggard steers the ball straight to gully where Hayden wraps his large hands comfortably around the ball and another English wicket falls!. 31/4 33.6 to GO Jones, short, quick and too good for Jones who can only fend the ball awkwardly towards the slips cordon, Ricky Ponting is not going to miss those!. 101/7 | ||||||||||

6.2 to AJ Strauss, amazing delivery! pitched way outside the off stump and turning in sharply, Strauss looking to pad it away fails to make contact and the ball crashes into the stumps, Warne strikes in his first over! England one down. 25/1 24.6 to KP Pietersen, outside the leg, spinning in, Pietersen plays the sweep, the ball hits pad, perhaps the bat or glove, and begins to fall down the leg side, Gilchrist keeps his eyes on the ball and snatches it inches from the ground single-handed!. 72/5 26.5 to IR Bell, Warne gets his man! Tossed up and pitching just outside the leg stump, Bell chooses to play instead of kicking the ball away and the sharp spin kisses the edge and lands in Gilchrist's ultra-safe gloves!. 75/6 44.3 to AF Giles, tossed up outside the leg, this one turns very sharply and Giles has left his bat hanging in the air. The ball flies off the outside edge to Hayden who takes a sharp catch low down. 131/8 44.4 to SJ Harmison, tossed up, drifting in to the pads, Harmison plants the foot down the pitch, the ball almost strikes his foot on the full, then spins across and takes the edge and goes to Ponting at silly mid-off. 131/9 52.1 to A Flintoff, tossed up, into the rough, Flintoff comes down the pitch and heaves and misses, the ball spins back and makes a mess of the stumps. 182/10 | ||||||||||

Clarke is flummoxed and clean bowled!. 175/8 64.3 to MS Kasprowicz, short ball banged in, Kasprowicz tries to get out of the way but just cannot manage, the ball balloons up towards the keeper and Geraint Jones takes the catch. 279/10 | ||||||||||
