00:00Here's the first ball of the second Test match.
00:10Four runs down to third man, it's vacant down there.
00:14That'll make Strauss feel a whole lot better.
00:19Nice-looking shot, that's beaten Martin at mid-off.
00:22The boundaries aren't large at Edgbaston, the outfield's always quick.
00:26That's a convincing boundary from Trescovic.
00:32Through the offside again, Martin won't catch that one either.
00:36Fabulous timing from Trescovic.
00:43It gets better, and better, and better.
00:46Twelve runs off Lee's second over.
00:52Well, it's been put down by Shane Warne, it went low to his left hand.
01:00And here's Kerry.
01:04It's a tough chance.
01:10Strauss' turn now.
01:13Gillespie takes some punishment.
01:21Well, he has been scoring all his rounds in boundaries.
01:27No ball, and it's 1-4 again.
01:36That's four.
01:39This pitch is so easy, so slow.
01:43Caught.
01:44A no ball.
01:45Well, that will be very disappointing to Australia.
01:49Getting Trescovic out.
01:50You heard Darren Lehman talking about plans.
01:51That's their plan for Trescovic.
01:54Worked beautifully.
01:55Half and one.
01:56Small thing.
01:56It was a no ball.
01:58That's a good shot.
01:59Straight down the ground.
02:00Always safe to go straight.
02:06It's going to be four.
02:08It's up for Hill, Edgerson, but it's quick, the outfield.
02:12A little short.
02:13Put away very confidently.
02:16Revenge.
02:16Go!
02:19Well, that's what I think you've got to do.
02:21We were talking about this at Lorde.
02:22You've got to be positive against Shane Warne.
02:24You've got to take the game to him.
02:29Straight down the ground.
02:31Goes all the way, I think.
02:33It does.
02:35That shot to finish.
02:36The over off.
02:37England move on to 77 without loss.
02:39On for 21.
02:42Now it is punched away.
02:43That will race away.
02:44What a good piece of timing that was.
02:50Oh!
02:51That's so wide at mid on.
02:53That's four more.
02:54That's a shot of the highest class.
03:09Margaret Trescovic has enjoyed Thursday morning all right.
03:12He goes to 50 from 74 balls with that towering six and nine fours.
03:28Superb boundary from Strauss.
03:34And again, the hundred comes up for England.
03:37And we're only in the 23rd over.
03:42It's launched into that.
03:44Found the gap at straight mid wicket between the wide long arm and deep mid wicket.
03:54That's a good point.
03:54Well, well, well.
03:56You can't keep him down for very long.
03:59Shane Warne gets the break through.
04:00Five minutes to go.
04:01Andrew Strauss.
04:02Bold Warne, 48.
04:06Nicely played.
04:08No third man.
04:10He just guided that away as soon as he got on top of the bounce.
04:16Well, that's a terrible delivery from Brett Lee.
04:19And it goes for six down to third man this time.
04:26Finds a gap again on the offside.
04:28Four more.
04:30Fourteen runs from Brett Lee's seventh over.
04:39Well, well, well.
04:43Eighteen off the last over before lunch.
04:52Well, well, well.
04:55Not too sure that throw was necessary, but England will be happy with the four runs.
05:01And then that happens.
05:10More runs.
05:11It's gone pretty fine.
05:19That's four more.
05:31Oh, well, well.
05:32We were talking about it, Nass.
05:34That's another one that has gone straight through the field.
05:40And he's gone.
05:42Found the outside edge, Kasparovic.
05:47Ninety of just a hundred and two deliveries.
05:50Caught Gilchrist.
05:51Bold Kasparovic.
05:54And gone.
05:57Just three deliveries.
06:01Ian Bell playing on his home ground in a test match.
06:04Goes for six.
06:05Caught Gilchrist.
06:05Bold Kasparovic.
06:10No ball.
06:11It's clipped away by Vincent Ghos.
06:13He's off the mark.
06:14First ball.
06:14Four.
06:17Michael Vaughan.
06:19Beautiful play.
06:20No ball again.
06:21And it goes for four more.
06:29It's going to be taken.
06:30It is.
06:32Brett Lee takes it.
06:33Michael Vaughan, you have to say, has given that away.
06:36For my money.
06:37Jason Gillespie bangs it.
06:39It's a terrific catch.
06:40All of a sudden, we're in trouble.
06:42Michael Vaughan.
06:44It's a pass to 24.
06:49Much better executed shot than Vaughan's attempt.
06:55Catch.
06:57Tipped into the open space.
06:59He's in the air for a while.
07:01But Flintoff will pick up four runs there.
07:06Oh, that's a big blow.
07:08It's cleared the wide mid on.
07:10And goes all the way.
07:16That's a fantastic piece of timing.
07:20We don't often chase the ball down in the outfield at Birmingham.
07:27Oh, that's outrageous.
07:34Well, it could have been Vivian Richards, this.
07:382.21 for four.
07:42That's another big one.
07:45What entertainment for this packed house at Edgbaston.
07:53That's a way through point for four more to Peterson.
07:59Five boundaries now in 28.
08:05Pulled away.
08:09This is extraordinary cricket.
08:13It's not a high percentage shot, but that one has gone a long way.
08:18Got a lot more battle at that time, Flintoff.
08:28That has gone a long way again.
08:37And that's four.
08:38That brings up his half century, Ander Flintoff.
08:50Got a quiet son of the bat.
08:52He's exploded back into form just when England needed him.
08:57There's that bounce again.
08:59There's the hook shot.
09:00And it's gone even further.
09:09There's no third man.
09:17That will go all the way though.
09:2014 runs coming from that over.
09:232.88 for four.
09:27Oh, he's gone.
09:29Straight after T.
09:31Outside edge.
09:32The partnership is broken.
09:34Jason Gillespie has got the breakthrough.
09:36Come back strongly into the game.
09:38It's Andrew Flintoff gone for 68.
09:42There we go.
09:44Another wicket.
09:46Extra bounce.
09:47Get it in the right areas.
09:48You'll get something out of here.
09:50Into the attack.
09:51Geraint Jones has gone for one.
09:532.93 for six.
09:57Giles is away.
10:01That's the one area.
10:02Actually Giles will put the ball away.
10:07Through the gap.
10:10Brings the three-handed up for England.
10:15Nicely timed.
10:16And that's the way through the covers for four.
10:19Ashley Giles inspired playing in front of his home crowd.
10:24Smashed wide of Gillespie.
10:26He can't stop that.
10:2950 for Kevin Peterson.
10:33Three test match innings.
10:34Three fifties.
10:36Can't do much better than that.
10:44That's the way through extra cover this time.
10:47That's the way through extra cover this time.
10:51Go after that as well.
10:53And that's the way for four.
10:56Twelve from the over.
11:00Full toss.
11:01Smashed away for four.
11:03Two.
11:09This time up goes the finger.
11:12Might have been a make-up decision from Billy Bowden.
11:16That's the goals.
11:18WWE the one.
11:1923.
11:22Who's launched that away over straight mid-wicket.
11:25It's another maximum.
11:27Eight sixes on the first over test match.
11:30You've seen it.
11:34Where's that one gone?
11:36In the air.
11:36And Kadic takes the catch.
11:38So it's over for Kevin Peterson.
11:40But a highly entertaining knock.
11:42Left with the tail-enders again.
11:44Decided to really attack.
11:46Over.
11:47Kevin Peterson.
11:4871 off 76 balls.
11:50Cook had it's boldly.
11:51Three.
11:54There he goes.
11:55The hook shot.
11:56It may go all the way.
11:57It does.
12:01Had Steve Harmsson to that list.
12:05Short again.
12:06Pulled again.
12:07That was a better shot.
12:08That has gone through wide mid-on.
12:15That's a good shot.
12:17Anything straight is always good.
12:21One.
12:23Hey!
12:24Told him.
12:25Wasn't too sure whether he should be driving or sweeping that one, Harmsson.
12:28In the end, he had done neither.
12:31Steve Harmsson.
12:3217 off 11 deliveries.
12:34England 375 for nine.
12:39Well, he has found the gap on the onside.
12:41It's not straight, but it's gone before nonetheless.
12:50That's the way to go.
12:52Throwing up.
12:53Attack outside that off-stump.
13:00Well, there you go, Bumble.
13:01They must have been listening to you.
13:03Sion Jones.
13:04It's at the six.
13:05Players have been doing throughout the day.
13:10Yeah.
13:11That's going to be four more up the hill.
13:15Crowd.
13:15Loving it.
13:16Not sure Australia enjoying.
13:21Hey!
13:22That's going out.
13:23It is out.
13:25Thought he might go for the sweep.
13:26Oh, it's all over this England Inks.
13:28Four hundred and seven runs.
13:30Wicket and wicket.
13:31Hitting in between wicket and wicket.
13:33And Hawkeye proving LBW.
13:34Four hundred and seven then.
13:35A few players there might have liked to have.
13:37One is a stayer.
13:37He picked up four for 116 in a brave and a gutsy.
13:45Oh, here we go again.
13:47Now, is anyone going to inquire after Justin Langer's health?
13:56He's got in.
13:58Very first ball.
14:00Well, the tactics worked.
14:02England celebrating.
14:03The crowd are on their feet.
14:05Sensational start for England.
14:07Matthew Hayden.
14:08Out first ball.
14:11Smashed away through extra cover.
14:13Glorious stroke.
14:14There have been so many in this match.
14:18He's taken another blow.
14:22And that's hurt him as well.
14:29In the air.
14:31Huge gap there.
14:32I don't think it would have been caught by a slip fielder.
14:34It went too high.
14:39Shouts of catch it.
14:45He's pulled it.
14:47Put it down.
14:49Totally confident.
14:50Good shot in the end.
14:50It's too well.
14:55He's got the gap.
14:57Yes.
14:58Picks up four.
14:59Funting.
15:04That's a good shot.
15:06Don't bother to run for those.
15:08Just 60 meters straight.
15:13That's four more.
15:15Offside.
15:16Then onside.
15:21That was a full toss.
15:23That deserved to be hit away.
15:26Brings up the 50 for Ricky Ponting as well.
15:29Ten boundaries.
15:35Not afraid to play out of the rough either.
15:38Look at Ponting.
15:39It's well swept.
15:40Boundary to end the over.
15:44In the air.
15:45In the air.
15:46And that's simply done.
15:47Well, fancy Ponting falling for that.
15:50Giles is ecstatic.
15:51England are ecstatic.
15:53The Australian captain's gone.
15:54Ashley Giles, who's brought in this partnership.
15:57Ponting has gone for 61.
16:04Well, only two slips in position.
16:09Giles can't get across to that.
16:12Four runs off the glove, I think.
16:22That's a way for overthrows if it goes to the boundary, but...
16:30...collects the ball.
16:31Aims at the stumps.
16:33Where is he, Damian Marti?
16:34You're a goner son.
16:35I'll tell you now.
16:36118 for three.
16:44That's a lovely shot.
16:45Do you want to cut that off?
16:47Knots.
16:50It's clipped through mid-wicket.
16:52That's going to race away.
16:54No-one's going to catch that.
16:55Not on this ground.
16:59That's four.
17:00It's four.
17:01It's too full.
17:02It's a half-volley.
17:04Got to get his length right, Simon Jones.
17:09That's a good shot, that.
17:10He's on top of that.
17:13Whistled away.
17:18Just a fraction too short.
17:20That will add to the boundaries.
17:26Through Michael Vaughan.
17:28That brings up Justin Lange's half-century.
17:31He'll get an extra run as well.
17:33Moves on to 51.
17:38Well, the sixth half-century in the match.
17:41Can he go on and get a hundred?
17:42There you go.
17:4351 in 94 deliveries.
17:50That's a good shot.
17:51Michael Vaughan won't cut that off.
17:57Magnificent.
18:05Yeah!
18:07He's got him.
18:10Clarke goes for 40.
18:12And the celebrations start again for Ashley Giles and his England colleagues.
18:17The breakthrough for England.
18:18Michael Clarke has gone for 40.
18:20194 for four.
18:24That's it.
18:24There's the wicket.
18:25They wanted the breakthrough.
18:26They've got it.
18:27Andrew Flintoff comes over the wicket.
18:29And Kadic has gone.
18:30He's gone for four.
18:31He's got a lot of trouble now.
18:36Well, there you go.
18:37He's off the mark.
18:38It's four.
18:39Down the ground.
18:41Difficult.
18:41How did we go for a shot?
18:44Short and a four.
18:46That has pretty much been the story here on this pitch.
18:48Very often, the short balls have been put away.
18:55Down the gap again.
18:56This one will go all the way.
19:02That's four runs.
19:09Well, that's a fine delivery.
19:10Goes the finger.
19:11And out goes Langer.
19:12He's done it again, Simon Jones.
19:15He doesn't bowl that many overs, but he picks up his fair share of wickets.
19:19That's parts.
19:23Yeah!
19:25Well, it didn't last long, did it?
19:28A wall today.
19:29Sean Moore to parts.
19:30Two boundaries for right.
19:34Hedged.
19:35And he's gone.
19:38Andrew Flintoff makes no mistake.
19:41Dix, 282 for eight.
19:49Tick to the offside with ease.
19:52Iron shot from Jason Gillespie.
19:56Well, boy, but I think that's missing.
19:58He's going to be given out.
20:01Rudy is happy with it.
20:06Gillespie's innings comes to an end.
20:08He's gone for seven.
20:08LBW Flintoff.
20:10That is Plum.
20:12That is Plum.
20:15Wasn't too sure about the first one, but that is Plum.
20:22Given to be no hundreds yet in this series.
20:24Plenty of people getting going, but getting out.
20:27All did their bit.
20:28Giles was outstanding, as was Flintoff, and good support.
20:38That's a positive start.
20:43Extra slip for Lee, bowling to Triscothic.
20:45Put the extra covers there.
20:47He's not going to stop that, though.
20:55Beautiful shot from Triscothic.
20:58He's got stuck into that one all right.
21:04Ah!
21:05Unbelievable.
21:08Amazing.
21:09Amazing.
21:10This man is incredible.
21:19There's the breakthrough.
21:21Marcus Triscothic has gone.
21:24Flashing one outside the off-stump.
21:27Triscothic has gone for 21.
21:29England 27 for two.
21:33Well...
21:35Brett Rhee.
21:36Michael Vaughan.
21:38Off-stump.
21:39Out the ground.
21:40The captain's gone.
21:42He's gone for one.
21:43He's 29 for three.
21:48Hoggard's gone.
21:50Straight to Gully.
21:52Open face.
21:54Hoggard's done his job.
21:57Matt Watchman.
21:58He's gone for one.
22:00Matthew Hoggard...
22:02Positive, all right.
22:04Take a look at that.
22:06Crowd are on their feet again.
22:13Well, that's another one.
22:16It's catching practice for the crowd.
22:21Full toss.
22:21He's got that away, all right.
22:27Warren, interestingly, concentrating on a leg-stump line.
22:32Well, they're going up.
22:34Not too sure he's been given.
22:37Sweep shot has paid dividends for Australia,
22:41not for the man playing the shot.
22:43It's hard to do.
22:44Out of the rough.
22:46Sweep shot.
22:50Not sure whether he even hit that, but that's a great take from Adam Gilkret.
22:53I'm not sure whether he's hit that.
22:59Going up.
23:00He has been given.
23:02Playing again at a ball.
23:03Pitching outside leg-stump, which wasn't necessary.
23:06Picks up another wicket.
23:08Soraya back on top.
23:09Ian Bell departs for 21.
23:13Took a shot.
23:16Whipped through mid-wicket.
23:25Nice full toss.
23:27It's poked through the leg-side, nothing more, but it's going to go all the way.
23:31Four more valuable runs and extend their lead to 194.
23:38Fantastic bowling.
23:39Fantastic bowling.
23:42Britt Lee again, there's not much Jones could do about that.
23:46Departs.
23:48For nine.
23:51Short, pulled, four.
23:55Well, these are precious runs for England if Flintoff can spend more time at the crease.
24:00Go!
24:03Played out that one.
24:06Matt Hazen is the man in the slipcordon.
24:09He doesn't drop many.
24:10Actually, Giles.
24:11These are anxious times for England.
24:18Well, they're appealing for everything.
24:20First it was the LBW, but I think he might have been given out court.
24:26It's a leg, where does it pitch?
24:27It pitches round about leg stump, it rattles into the pads.
24:30Does it take the outside edge?
24:32It's caught on the offside, I think that's a nick.
24:35It's my ball.
24:39Short, will Simon Jones play?
24:42Forward defense.
24:45It's wide above stump.
24:46That wasn't the best of deliveries on a hat-trick.
24:53Well, he connected on that occasion.
24:54Andrew Flintoff.
24:57One bounce.
24:59No, it's six.
25:00It went all the way.
25:04It's got that again.
25:06All the way.
25:10Brings up the half-century for Andrew Flintoff as well.
25:16He's played so well there, Flintoff.
25:1850 from 64 deliveries.
25:22And there's a few more to add to that.
25:28Can we have our ball back, please?
25:32And there's a few more.
25:34That's going to be six more, I think.
25:37It is.
25:38This is magnificent.
25:42Oh, I think that's out.
25:44Unless it's not done enough.
25:46Now.
25:48Goodness gracious.
25:50Three.
25:54Well, that's pretty convincing.
25:57Takes Shane Morne on to 599 test match wickets.
26:03He finishes with six for 46.
26:07Blistering shots.
26:11Magical stuff from Andrew Flintoff evoking memories of 1981 when Ian Bowden with six for 46.
26:18Good performance, too.
26:20From those of the match begins.
26:21Australia need 282 to win the game.
26:28No third man.
26:30These runs are very valuable runs for Australia.
26:38Well, I wonder how long it will be before Matthew Hayden came down at Ashley Giles.
26:46Great shot.
26:47Quick on his feet.
26:48Drives Giles down the ground.
26:54He's got him.
26:55He's got the breakthrough.
26:57Andrew Flintoff does it again.
26:59He's having a pretty good match, isn't he?
27:02He's some player Flintoff.
27:03Langer has gone for 28.
27:11There's a big shout.
27:13He's gone.
27:13He's done it.
27:14It's the breakthrough.
27:14Andrew Flintoff is turning this game around.
27:18He did it with a bat first.
27:19Ponting departs Australia.
27:2148 for two.
27:24He's got through the gap.
27:27Should there be another man in there from a bat pad?
27:32Flicked away.
27:33Short boundary down there.
27:35Jones can't stop that.
27:42Short and a four.
27:44That's not the length.
27:45It hasn't been the length from ball one on Thursday.
27:52That's straighter.
27:53That's better.
27:54That's four.
28:00Caught.
28:02That's a good comeback from Simon Jones.
28:05Good catch also from Marcus Trescotic.
28:1031.
28:12Yeah.
28:15That's gone well in front of square.
28:17Kevin Peterson is behind the square.
28:19He has no chance of stopping that.
28:27Well got through.
28:30He'll go all the way as well.
28:31Off the mark with a boundary, Michael Clarke.
28:37Yeah.
28:39That's a good shot.
28:39He's got that through the offside.
28:41That'll go all the way.
28:44He'll go.
28:45He'll look to get that side of the ball.
28:50Back in.
28:51Straight away.
28:52What an inspired bowling change.
28:54Ian Bell takes the catch.
28:55Matthew Hoggard gets a big big wicket.
29:00Martin's gone for 28, 107 for four.
29:05That's beautifully timed.
29:06How's that come off the middle of the bat?
29:08That's gone for four.
29:13That's a fine shot, you know.
29:15That really is a good shot on this wicket.
29:18Don't mind him playing that there.
29:19You feel you'll have a chance as a bowler.
29:25Well, that's outside off stone.
29:26That's a poor delivery.
29:28It has to be said.
29:28That was a poor delivery.
29:37It's nicely played.
29:39Hoggard's after it.
29:40I'm not sure he's going to get there, is he?
29:41No.
29:42Poor end.
29:50He's got him.
29:52Giles comes to the party in a big way.
29:55Tskothik at slip.
29:58Simon Kadic goes for 16.
30:00Australia 134 for five.
30:04Catch him.
30:05In the air.
30:05And gone.
30:07Giles does it again.
30:09Flintov's the man at mid on.
30:11The fans can't believe it.
30:14I don't think Gilchrist can believe it either.
30:16Long way away now.
30:21Fantastic deal.
30:23Out goes the finger.
30:24Out goes Gillespie.
30:25England on the brink here now.
30:27Australia a seven down.
30:29For Gillespie from Flintov.
30:35That's a huge hit.
30:38That's Flintov's size hit, that from Shane Warne.
30:48Another six from Warne.
30:52Smashes that away through extra cover.
30:55Warne's not finished with this cricket match yet.
31:00Oh, Stephen Hermeson.
31:02With a slower ball.
31:04One of the great balls.
31:05Given the moment.
31:07Given the batsman.
31:10He's hit that very hard.
31:12First boundary of the day.
31:14I don't know if Shane Warne's going to go that way.
31:16Gets half a chance.
31:20He's got it over the man at short square leg.
31:23I'll tell you what, he's timed this pretty well.
31:25That's going to go all the way, it does.
31:31He's got that through the gap.
31:32And that will go for four.
31:32And that will go for four.
31:37Oy!
31:39Well.
31:40Well.
31:41He's gone.
31:41Well he knew nothing about that.
31:46Well.
31:47Four.
31:47And it's smashed.
31:48Smashed down the ground.
31:54loved again but short of the man at mid on falling in empty spaces and made
31:59no one though from Ashley Giles to Fendika it
32:07went too far across chain one
32:14relief in the crowd certainly relief out there for
32:17England's players always kicked his stumps it's hit with it he's kicked his
32:24stumps 20 for nine he says not out and they take a leg by that's very
32:36interesting it's happened that's gone a long way down towards
32:46wide long on one bounce and they have smashed it one bounce just wide of slip
33:00more runs for Australia may go all the way it does
33:10oh Jones has missed it that's four extras four buys 20 needed now
33:19well that's hurt a lot

33:31today was hit on the hand at Lourdes
33:35a long-serving physiotherapist Errol Alcott out in the middle

34:10separate shot from Kasparovic Jones diving forward got both hands to it but couldn't hold on
34:17down the leg side Jones can't get it it's a no ball as well
