	England 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	AJ Strauss*	c †Haddin b Hilfenhaus	55	128	101	11	0	54.45
	28.1 got him! A horrid little nibble outside off - absolutely no need for Strauss to fiddle at that one, and it carried through low to Haddin 114/2
	AN Cook	c Ponting b Siddle	10	19	12	2	0	83.33
	5.3 well bowled and CAUGHT! Angled across Cook who pushed at it meekly, edging it low to Ponting's right at second slip 12/1
	IR Bell	b Siddle	72	222	137	10	0	52.55
	53.5 bowled him, inside edge - he's out! That's cleaned him up! Bell came forward with only a tentative little push, his bat coming down in an arc and it took a thick inside edge to clatter his stumps 181/4
	PD Collingwood	c Hussey b Siddle	24	89	65	3	0	36.92
	47.5 and this time Collingwood does go for the drive and he's caught at gully! Full and wide, Collingwood gets it off a thick edge and Hussey takes the catch right in front of his face 176/3
	IJL Trott	run out (Katich)	41	125	81	5	0	50.61
	74.2 from North, that is magnificent work from Katich! Truly incredible stuff at short leg! Trott uses his feet and clips to leg, Katich at short leg makes a sharp save and quickly gets a full-blooded throw at the stumps, Trott is still in the follow through and has to turn quickly, the direct hit has him well short 268/7
	MJ Prior†	c Watson b Johnson	18	57	33	2	0	54.54
	65.3 the slower ball and Prior prods it tamely to point who takes a good, leaping catch - terrific bowling from Johnson 229/5
	A Flintoff	c †Haddin b Johnson	7	21	19	1	0	36.84
	69.4 gone! There won't be a first-innings fairytale from Freddie, flashes at a wide one and gets an edge through to Haddin 247/6
	SCJ Broad	not out	26		54	4	0	48.14
	GP Swann	c †Haddin b Siddle	18	43	28	2	0	64.28
	85.3 got him! What a way for Australia to end the day, as Swann taps forward meekly and edges a very fine delivery behind 307/8
	Extras	(b 12, lb 4, w 3, nb 17)	36
	Total	(8 wickets; 85.3 overs)	307	(3.59 runs per over)
