Looking at the bigger picture we need to bat for as long as possible to keep McGrath out there as it will help us in the 2nd innings if he had to bowl 2 spells today.He is clearly only about 50% fit but frighteningly still looks far more likely to take wickets than Gillespie.Lee should be ok after a nights rest as he is a young pup compared to McGrath.If early wickets don't fall Warne will be bowling a long spell again and everything will depend on him.

It is nice to see them dropping catches for a instead of us.Wonder if it is a bit of pressure showing with them knowing they are actually in a proper series with England for a change.

One thing is certain though at the start of play England are on top,they need to make sure they still are at Lunch.
