Australia have had to use the only players left in their squad that aren't injured in this game. With Ponting getting an abdominal strain during net practice. Symonds is still out and Stuart Clark has a rib problem. Australia were forced to go into the game with one batsmen short so Shane Watson is batting at six with five specialist bowlers in the side.
In the first innings Australia lost early wickets through Gilchrist(14), Katich(2) and Martyn(1) not really troubling the score card. However the ship was settled by Clarke(53) and Hussey(56) and now the tail is batting in the last few overs. Currently 227-8 (46.4 overs).
Game reduced to 47 overs per side
