Australia have a new ball but a very tired Lee and Mcgrath, both of whom were injured prior to this test. Mcgrath 's last over was broadcast as a 70 mph one last night, so He'll bowl first up and then have a long break i imagine. Flintoff does need to get in, the new ball will be where the wickets come from. Once you are in on this pitch, a big score seems to beckon. Bell needs to go on now, and play a supporting role to flintoff; really dissapointed in Pieterson. there was qbsolultly no need to bat like that yesterday. That showed real lack of test experience. The pitch will be at its best today and perhaps early tommorow. England need to get to 500 to put pressure on. I imagin that will take until tea? Australia could find that their bowling attack falls apart if England go on to 600.
