England Score Card:
| I Bell | c Smith b Johnson | 27(17) | | | | | |
| 4.3 140.7 kph, down the track, another lofted flog, and this time Smith in the covers does the business. The end of a lively innings from Bell. He's got England up and running 49/2 |
| S Davies | c White b Lee | 4(1) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.2 142.3 kph, ah ... maybe he is a bit rusty after all. A similar delivery, but this one is lifted into the hands of short cover. Lee starts his lawnmower, and Australia have their breakthrough! 16/1 |
| K Pietersen | c Hussey b O'Keefe | 20(11) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5.3 76.8 kph, three-card trick! Pietersen thought he was in the zone, played one stroke too many, and David Hussey at mid-off timed his leap to perfection to intercept 63/3 |
| P Collingwood | c Paine b Hussey | 16(20) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 11.5 93.7 kph, reverse-sweep, and that's due reward for a fine over. A big top-edge from Collingwood, and Paine walks round to gather 99/4 |
| E Morgan | c Hussey b Watson | 43(33) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 15.2 120.6 kph, well, well, that's a timely breakthrough! The rate is already a run a ball, but England's finisher falls to a tame drive to short cover ... 130/6 |
| L Wright | lbw b Tait | 0(2) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12.4 142.9 kph, that was exceptionally plumb! For a moment it looked as though Wright had got a tickle of bat on a leg-glance, but nope, it was pad all the way 104/5 |
| T Bresnan | c Lee b Watson | 11(11) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17.3 123.6 kph, outside off, swished over the covers, but there's not enough bat on that, and Bresnan falls! Now this will test the mettle of England's tail 141/8 |
| M Yardy | c Paine b Watson | 0(1) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 15.3 133.8 kph, blimey! Two in two! A surprise bouncer to Yardy, he tried not to play it but his bat grazed the ball periscope style as he swayed out of line! 130/7 |
| C Woakes | not out | 19(15) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| G Swann | b Watson | 6(5) |
| 19.1 133.9 kph, that's the way to lose it! Swann went for glory, with a hoist through the leg-side, but he's bowled middle stump! 154/9 |
| A Shahzad | not out | 0(3) |
