How have we let that happen? Should never have allowed another over before lunch and you just knew Trott was going to get out.

Just like yesterday. Watson went for them, Trotty goes for us.
Just like yesterday, game on after lunch.
Let's hope the similarities with yesterday finish right there
(I have a feeling this is going to be a low scoring thriller of a test ... not what we wanted first up ... Though, "for the neutral" that's probably what was wanted)

If we were batting at home, that was lunch. If they were batting, that was lunch. But we were batting, away from home ... That's a wicket.

When the bowler got the ball it wasn't quite time-our fault for not slowing down the previous over.

Massive innings from KP needed

If KP stays patient there's no reason why he can't get a ton.

KP dropped. There's your chance lad, take it!

Excellent batting pitch and we are still 3 down-plus it was turning for Lyon.It could be a long day.

Our batsmen are almost as bad as theirs. Hopefully Carberry, Bell, Root and Prior can make some scores.

Like I put before lunch, it is looking like an average scoring thriller. As with last summer, neither side is setting the world on fire with its batting. Fair play to Carberry for hanging around, he is looking OK. Shame any of the 3 out couldn't do what he is doing. Whether it is 20:20 and limited overs I don't know; but having bowled the opposition out in one day all you need to do is bat for 2 and you won't lose the test (and may well win it). Batsmen just don't seem to have a test mindset anymore. Hopefully the usually reliable Bell can dig in and bore the Gabba crowd to sleep

Great change of angle by Johnson
Big wicket
Trouble now.
this could go pear-shaped quickly
Hope Prior has his right head on. Need him and Belly still there at tea

Root not Prior
Come on youngman - A Boycott type innings is required
And leave them alone son, and MOVE your feet

Throwing wickets away

I shouldn't go to check on the ponies. Yesterday we got two while I was out, today they got 3
Australia will be batting before tea.
Shocking stuff from us, but fair play to them; Johnson has been better than Broady. My other half will be getting it in the neck at work, having not heard a mention of cricket yesterday.
I think the appropriate phrase is, "this is probably the best thing for the series" and let's leave it at that.
7-89 - 5 for 7 is these last 3 overs - Embarrassing doesn't do it justice. On reflection, go to bed people; you know that makes sense.

Oh dear.
100 would appear to be a good score for us at this rate!

Got up for a pee. 82 for 2 - 6 balls later 87 for 6. It's the Lyon wickets that get me? Oh well, not wasting sleeping time on this stuff. Back to bed and hope Broad and the rest can get us up to 3 figures?

Not clever, Swanny. Not clever.
Quick and straight and it's goodnight.
I am pleased for the Poms currently at work over here. Look on the brightside, people, it's Saturday tomorrow; no work. No work, no squirming with shame. Have a barbie at home with the family, this weekend, all weekend; just the family*. And I know, but small as it is, that is a brightside.
*If you are married to an Aussie; I hear fishing is just great.

We need 1 to avoid the follow on.
