This first session is big for England. Knock a couple out & we gain a bit of confidence but if we fail it could be a very long hard day.
Ps do not drop any catches please.

Superb fielding by Anderson. England's best bit of cricket so far this series.

A solid start That pitch could do with 50% less bounce by the time we are batting, though ... sheesh Still, let's see if we can 'ave 'em out in a day, eh? (well done anyone in the UK still awake ... what was this? 2:30am start?! I guess more can get up "early" and watch at bit more than when in Adelaide?)

We don't like we've got 10 wickets in us, nevermind 20.

We don't like we've got 10 wickets in us, nevermind 20. Apart from that runout we've been shocking. They look really low on confidence.

At 89-2 off 17? I would say its pretty poor and especially so with warner and clarke in the form they're in, it could be a long hard day? Bresnan will rattle em no doubt? Sent from my ST25i using proboards

Lunch. They chose to bat, to get 3 of them gone is good. That they scored 5 an over is not so good. So 50:50 I think. They want to win the series in Perth. If we turn up with the bat, that might make them a little bit vunerable. At least - with the ball - we have looked up for it. Need another good session after lunch

England on top....... Well played Swann Good batting strip. There can be no excuse. Afraid Davey Warner threw away his wicket.

Crunch time for the Baggy Greens. Bailey and Smith need to stand tall for the next hour. No doubt about it the Poms are playing some good stuff.

Déjà vu part 1: Aussie top order fail (143-5)
To come (but hopefully not) parts 2 and 3 featuring a kick from the Aussie tail followed by a wretched English batting performance from the top order and tail.

Spot on. Critical part of the series. They must go tonight. We must bat for more than a day (and hopefully two).

A poor session.
Bumble says we're bowling too short and (over and over and over again) so does Mr Warne.
And we are bowling too short and too straight. We must have a brilliant session coming up, or ...
(Morning ... those back home, who may have got up to watch before work?)

And on the subject of pace - why no Finn today?
We are 2-0 down and need to get back into the series so bold decisions are needed. Instead we see England favouring the "safe" option; a medium pace trundler who can bat a bit. Except this is Perth where bowlers who get pace and bounce do well so the safe option amounts to fuck all. (Go on Tim - prove me wrong; get the last 4 wickets because figures, so far, of 20-4-70-0 are pish. Oh - and score a good 50+ when you bat!).

If Fynn isn't playing here, then he isn't playing anywhere. 277/6 - A bit less than an hour to go ... 4 wickets would be priceless. But all we seem to want to do is chat amongst ourselves!
