00:00:00Welcome to the highlights of the first day's play of the Ashes Battle.
00:00:04This is at the Woollen Gabba Ground, the Gabba in Brisbane,
00:00:07and it promises to be a super match.
00:00:10These are the teams announced by the two captains at the toss.
00:00:15The Australians, Alan Borders, skipper and Geoff Marsh, vice-captain.
00:00:18Mark Taylor, David Boone, Dean Jones, Steve Waugh, Ian Healy, Greg Matthews gets his place.
00:00:24Merv Hughes, Bruce Reid, Terry Alderman and Carl Rackerman is the unlucky 12th man,
00:00:28and the selectors agonised over that for a considerable amount of time.
00:00:32Rackerman has been bowling very well.
00:00:34England, instead of going in with a spinner, as did a straighter,
00:00:38have made Eddie Hemmings 12th man,
00:00:40and they've done as they did in the West Indies in all five test matches not so long ago.
00:00:44They have played four pace bowlers, Devin Malcolm, Angus Fraser, Gladstone Small and Chris Lewis.
00:00:51The toss was won by Alan Borders.
00:00:52He put England into bat on a pitch where there would be some juice in the surface for the pace
00:00:56bowlers,
00:00:56and we join play now with Bruce Reid, the bowler.
00:00:59Wayne Larkins is taking strike.
00:01:04Oh, well bowled, and that must have been very close.
00:01:08I think it probably hit some inside edge and some pad as well
00:01:12and went flying away down towards fine leg.
00:01:15What a magnificent delivery that last one was.
00:01:17England, no wicket, and one run has been registered.
00:01:21Yes, he has the ability to swing the ball back into the right-handed batsman.
00:01:24Larkins was lucky here, he got some bat onto this.
00:01:27Would have possibly missed leg stump.
00:01:29A little inside edge, swung back late.
00:01:31Larkins did well to get an edge on it.
00:01:33That's why Bruce Reid is such a dangerous bowler.
00:01:36This is Alderman again.
00:01:39That's a good shot.
00:01:41Lovely shot by Larkins.
00:01:42Played straight down the ground.
00:01:44This is quite a heavy outfield, but nothing's going to stop that one running into the fence.
00:01:47Well, that's a good confidence booster for him.
00:01:51Lovely straight drive, and that'll take a little pressure off him.
00:01:56Yes, and it's good to see that the batsman's prepared to hit a half volley.
00:01:59That's what you should do early on.
00:02:01The field's up in attacking positions.
00:02:03There's plenty of gaps on the off and on sides.
00:02:05It's always nice when you're going early, particularly in the first morning of a test match
00:02:09when the pressure's on to get an early boundary from such a confident stroke.
00:02:15Bruce Reid started with Alderman.
00:02:18Reid coming from the Vulture Street end.
00:02:20He's now been replaced by Merv Hughes.
00:02:25That's a pretty useful delivery from Merv Hughes.
00:02:28Umpire Crafter has a long look and then decides that Dwayne Larkins is out.
00:02:32Merv Hughes has got the breakthrough with a very good leg cutter.
00:02:36Larkins caught Healy, bowled Hughes.
00:02:40England hoping to see this session through.
00:02:44Footwork not terrific.
00:02:46A man out of form.
00:02:48Hangs the bat out, gets the edge.
00:02:50Healy takes the catch and big Merv Hughes.
00:02:53A good change by Alan Borda.
00:02:55So first success to the Australians.
00:02:58Larkins out for the 12 England one for 23.
00:03:02David Gower is at number three.
00:03:08Big shout there from Alderman.
00:03:10That ball moved back quite a way off the seam and I would say it was probably going to miss
00:03:15leg stump.
00:03:16The height might have been interesting as well.
00:03:18The umpire, Peter McConnell, not too interested.
00:03:22Have a look at this one again.
00:03:23Alderman given the decision many, many times in 89 in England.
00:03:28I think that one moving too much.
00:03:30Gower facing Bruce Reid.
00:03:34Bow!
00:03:37Well, there's no justice in the world.
00:03:41Don't think David Gower changed his mind there in the stroke.
00:03:44It was no ball.
00:03:45The catch was taken and Gower remains.
00:03:58This is Bruce Reid.
00:04:06They're all runs if you're not hitting them too well.
00:04:12But this is a lovely spell from Reid.
00:04:18Well, it's a terrific delivery from Bruce Reid because it catches Gower unawares.
00:04:23It surprises him.
00:04:24Gower's being concerned about the ball around off stump.
00:04:26Suddenly, it's whacked in short and he's not looking for it.
00:04:29He was late on that shot and luckily got a top edge for four.
00:04:37Oh, that has to be very close.
00:04:40Everton has gone over W to Bruce Reid.
00:04:45It's a little late movement.
00:04:4843 on the board and the second record down.
00:04:53Everton, LBW to Bruce Reid.
00:04:56Well, Michael Atherton hasn't had much bowling from Bruce Reid and he never got forward.
00:05:01It's been a long time since he received the ball from Bruce Reid and I think he did him in
00:05:04length.
00:05:10Well, he's either unhappy at the decision or unhappy at being out.
00:05:15Either way, he's unhappy.
00:05:16Two for 43.
00:05:20Alan Lamb, the England skipper, is just reaching the centre.
00:05:24Left arm over.
00:05:25Picking up commentary now, Tony Gregg and Ian Chappell.
00:05:28This is Alderman.
00:05:32Oh, a ball.
00:05:34Gau playing just inside that one.
00:05:37It just started to swing and then held up.
00:05:40It's brought a smile to his face.
00:05:43A nervous smile, I'd say.
00:05:47That is a very, very good delivery.
00:05:50I would say it started to swing back into Gau a little bit.
00:05:54And then when it pitched, it went the other way.
00:06:02He's got that one away.
00:06:03In the air and down towards Reid again.
00:06:05He's in the action down there.
00:06:07And that time he wasn't able to stop it with his foot.
00:06:10He tried to get the foot in there again and unfortunately it bounced over the foot and rolled into the
00:06:15boundary for four.
00:06:19Gau certainly not scared to pick him up on leg stump.
00:06:29Bruce Reid a bit unlucky there.
00:06:31He got a bad bounce.
00:06:32It's two for 49.
00:06:36Reid is operating now from the Stanley Street end.
00:06:39Two for 49.
00:06:40And that's a magnificent shot by Alan Lamb.
00:06:42A lovely cover drive.
00:06:44The ball pitching around about middle stump and going across him.
00:06:48It's not an easy shot to play when the ball comes down at that angle.
00:06:52And he's hit that one through the cup as beautifully.
00:06:57He's in excellent form, Alan Lamb.
00:06:59He played brilliantly down in Hobart.
00:07:02Second innings, it was almost with arrogant ease.
00:07:34Stephen Waugh.
00:07:35He's got a lot of frustrations there.
00:07:37Merv Hughes is going to continue.
00:07:38He's got one of the wickets to fall.
00:07:42He goes for it and he gets it away.
00:07:45Square leg.
00:07:46Reid's the fieldsman.
00:07:48That's just what the doctor ordered for David Goe.
00:07:52Put himself in position fairly early for the bouncer here.
00:07:57It was not a shot of aggression, more of control.
00:08:02He does wait a long time until he makes that decision.
00:08:05Could easily have gone in the air.
00:08:07Reid down there at long leg.
00:08:10Steve Waugh, the bowler.
00:08:11He did a very good job.
00:08:15And so is Lamb.
00:08:18That one might have run off the thick edge.
00:08:21Well, that brings up 4,000 test runs for Alan Lamb.
00:08:25That makes him the 17th England player to do so.
00:08:31And it also brings him up to 25,000 first-class runs.
00:08:42Over the top and down to the boundary for 4.
00:08:44The question is, did he pick up the no-ball call?
00:08:48Doesn't really matter, does it?
00:08:50Doesn't matter, but I think he might have got that one.
00:08:51He didn't get the one earlier when Bruce Reid had him caught at slip.
00:08:56But he was able to stay there because umpire McConnell had caught the no-ball.
00:09:00This is umpire Kraft at this time.
00:09:02The call came quickly.
00:09:05And Gower, I think from the splay-footed stroke,
00:09:08had definitely picked up the no-ball.
00:09:13Yes, and um, one way or the other,
00:09:16he won't be bothering at all about anything other than the fact that it went for 4.
00:09:20And he now needs to concentrate on the next one.
00:09:28He's had a go at that one.
00:09:29It's in the air, through the gap and extra cover,
00:09:31and into the fence for 4.
00:09:32He really did smash that one.
00:09:36It went in the air,
00:09:38but it went straight into the gap,
00:09:39and that brings up the 100 for England.
00:09:54In the air and over the top.
00:09:56Well, he's really had a go at that one.
00:10:00Decided to have a go at it in the direction of Middorf,
00:10:03and hit it in the air,
00:10:04way down to the boundary,
00:10:06for 4.
00:10:06Really off the middle of the bat.
00:10:07England, 2 for 107.
00:10:20And so Borda now has decided to bring the spinner into the attack.
00:10:24Matthews is going to take up the attack from the Vulture Street end.
00:10:31In the air,
00:10:32Merv Hughes at the upper point.
00:10:34So Greg Matthews has done the job for his skipper.
00:10:37The change of ends has brought about the downfall of the England acting captain.
00:10:51Well, great jubilation here for Australia,
00:10:53but that's a dreadful shot.
00:10:56Dreadful shot by Alan Lamb.
00:10:59Just stood in his crease,
00:11:00plunked his foot there,
00:11:01and just slashed at the ball.
00:11:03He's quite angry with himself.
00:11:06He hits the floor as he gets himself out, really.
00:11:08Not the bowler.
00:11:09It's a wicket down.
00:11:10Just what Australia needed.
00:11:15Gets 3 for 117.
00:11:18Alan Borda putting quite a bit of pressure on Robin Smith.
00:11:23He comes in to replace the England acting captain.
00:11:27And it's going to be Bruce Reid now,
00:11:31coming from the Vulture Street end.
00:11:36In the air.
00:11:37There's no one out to square there.
00:11:40Deep.
00:11:41Alan Borda has had a man out in that position quite often today.
00:11:46But David Boone is in a normal square leg position,
00:11:49so seventh boundary there for David Gower.
00:11:57Edge to Healy.
00:11:58So Reid has got the breakthrough from this end.
00:12:01A double breakthrough from Borda,
00:12:04coming from his changing of ends for the bowlers.
00:12:07It's a great success for the Australian skipper.
00:12:10David Gower out for 61.
00:12:15Well, just what I was saying outside of Stubb,
00:12:18he's always vulnerable,
00:12:19he's always prone to have a little dart at it,
00:12:21he can't leave it alone,
00:12:22he's always looking to score,
00:12:23those risky movements of his.
00:12:26And again, another wicket that the England batsmen
00:12:29will feel that they've really given away
00:12:31rather than the Australians have earned.
00:12:33England 4 for 123.
00:12:38Robin Smith is on two.
00:12:40Alex Stewart yet to face a ball.
00:12:42Came in at the fall of David Gower's wicket.
00:12:45He was out for 61.
00:12:47Oh, that's got to be very close.
00:12:50Oh, Empire Crafter had a good long look.
00:12:53In fact, the hand had moved away from behind his back.
00:12:56And I thought,
00:12:57and I think that Alex Stewart thought for a moment
00:12:59that that was the end.
00:13:05Well, I'm sat up here watching that
00:13:06and I can't believe the decision.
00:13:08Goodness gracious, he's lucky there,
00:13:10just outside of Stum.
00:13:12Ball angling in.
00:13:14Oh, my goodness, Alex Stewart.
00:13:19Let's go, Bolt.
00:13:20That's the eighth, yes, he's bowled him out.
00:13:22That is a magnificent delivery.
00:13:25We saw him try it on Larkins earlier today,
00:13:27and that one really did have Robin Smith surprised
00:13:31and it went through all his defences
00:13:33and down went the stumps.
00:13:36The prize wicket of Robin Smith.
00:13:39Look at this, the in-swinging Yorker
00:13:41straight through the gate, under the bat,
00:13:43over goes the timber,
00:13:44and the big fella, Bruce Reid, is ecstatic.
00:13:47He picks up wicket number three
00:13:49in a fine spell in this, the first test.
00:13:52Absolutely magnificent delivery.
00:13:54Smith out for seven.
00:13:55England five down for 134.
00:14:00Jack Russell's the new batsman.
00:14:02He's also England's wicketkeeper.
00:14:09As for you, there's another appeal there for LBW,
00:14:11and he's given him out, he's given him out.
00:14:13That one looked very high to me,
00:14:14and Stewart's not happy with that one.
00:14:16He pointed down towards his pad there.
00:14:19The ball hit above the roll of the pad,
00:14:21and the umpire down that end,
00:14:24umpire Crafter, has given him out LBW.
00:14:28Reid's line has been absolutely superb today.
00:14:32His length has been full, except for the odd bouncer.
00:14:35That one short of the length.
00:14:36The batsman not up to the footwork.
00:14:38Didn't come forward.
00:14:39Stayed right back on the crease.
00:14:42Crafter, the umpire,
00:14:44thought about it for quite a while
00:14:46before he put the finger up,
00:14:47but Alex Stewart is out.
00:14:49Four runs against his name.
00:14:50England in real trouble.
00:14:52Six for 135.
00:14:55Gus Lewis is the new batsman.
00:14:56He was born in Georgetown in Guyana.
00:14:59He's, uh, out there.
00:15:04Passing his first ball.
00:15:05What a lovely way to get off the mark.
00:15:06He's hit that one magnificently down the ground,
00:15:09and into the fence it goes for four.
00:15:12Well, that's the way to go.
00:15:14That was well-pitched up.
00:15:15On off stump, he was trying to bode another Yorker,
00:15:17I should think.
00:15:24He's hit that one pretty well.
00:15:25That's way back.
00:15:27And, uh, landing almost into the front row
00:15:32of the Clinton-Jones stand.
00:15:34The man playing his fourth test match
00:15:36takes courage to do this,
00:15:38and he's hit it beautifully.
00:15:5120 to Chris Lewis,
00:15:538 to Jack Russell.
00:15:55Lewis on strike to Merv Hughes.
00:15:57Two slips, two gullies.
00:15:58With Lewis on strike.
00:16:02Edged and beautifully taken.
00:16:04Alan Border at second slip.
00:16:06We've seen a few of those diving efforts.
00:16:08I think the two others I've seen here at the gather
00:16:11have been diving away to the left hand.
00:16:13On that occasion,
00:16:14diving away to the unnatural side,
00:16:17the right-hand side for Alan Border.
00:16:19Very good catch.
00:16:20Super catch and a fine piece of balling.
00:16:22He's got the batsman at the front foot.
00:16:24Good delivery, this.
00:16:26Just went away a fraction.
00:16:28He wasn't quite to it,
00:16:29and Border did the rest.
00:16:30Very good slip for Alan Border.
00:16:32And a very good breakthrough.
00:16:33Just win needed by Mervyn Hughes.
00:16:36Lewis out for 20.
00:16:38England on the ropes here at the Gabba.
00:16:407 for 167.
00:16:42That's from Small.
00:16:43Strides out to the crease
00:16:44with the score at 7 for 167.
00:16:47And it's Russell to take strike.
00:17:01Russell had his back to us in the commentary box.
00:17:06He might just have got a leading edge.
00:17:07That'll show up on the replay,
00:17:09but that is the eighth wicket down,
00:17:11181 on the board.
00:17:13It looked like he was trying to force that one through to mid-wicket,
00:17:17hitting away with the swing.
00:17:19Held up a little bit on the pitch.
00:17:21All the men will be very pleased now.
00:17:23That's his first wicket for the series.
00:17:25Russell, a defiant 16.
00:17:27England now 8 for 181.
00:17:30New batsman is Angus Fraser.
00:17:35That's very well bowled by Orleman.
00:17:37In the end, Fraser will reproach himself for having chased it,
00:17:41but it was a big out swing.
00:17:43And it just drew Fraser to it like the moth to the flame.
00:17:49It's a big man.
00:17:51Always an awkward proposition for the bowlers to come in
00:17:54and have to cope with deliveries like that,
00:17:57considering the ball is 77 overs old.
00:17:59That's a testament to the man bowling that one.
00:18:02Orleman, a master of his craft, a great technician.
00:18:07Angus Fraser, disappointed with just the one run against his reign.
00:18:11England, 9 for 187.
00:18:13Devon Malcolm, the new batsman.
00:18:18Four runs.
00:18:22Unorthodox, but effective.
00:18:24And it takes the score closer to the 200 run.
00:18:29Murph can't believe it.
00:18:31Captain Alan Borda would find it very difficult
00:18:34to place a field to this sort of batting.
00:18:38I think that may have been expected
00:18:40to just dribble out to a cover point area.
00:18:48Good Yorker.
00:18:49Good Yorker.
00:18:51Played.
00:18:52Well, it's been caught at slip.
00:18:56Devon Malcolm has gone.
00:18:57He had to look down just to make sure
00:18:58that he hadn't played it into the ground
00:19:02and then he was away.
00:19:04So, Murph use picks up another wicket.
00:19:05It's the end of the England innings.
00:19:07He attempted Yorker.
00:19:10Malcolm chopped it.
00:19:11Look for an instant.
00:19:12So, he might have chopped it into the turf,
00:19:14but it must have flown
00:19:16from low down on the outside edge
00:19:19and straight away
00:19:21to the fielder at slip.
00:19:25Steve Waugh, the man taking the catch.
00:19:27Alan Borda has had a splendid day.
00:19:32Yes, it was the bat that hit the ground.
00:19:35The ball flew off the outside edge
00:19:37and Murph Hughes has another wicket.
00:19:41It's first and last wicket to Murph Hughes.
00:19:45What a good all-round effort from the Australians.
00:19:48The pick of them, I guess, was Reid.
00:19:52Fine catch.
00:19:53The Australians in the past couple of seasons
00:19:55have been very, very safe.
00:19:57The fielding has been very good today.
00:19:59Their bowling really did capitalise on the toss.
00:20:03Alan Borda slipped in the Englishman.
00:20:04Good first session.
00:20:05They lost two for 70.
00:20:07Another four in the second session of play
00:20:10thanks to some magnificent bowling by Bruce Reid.
00:20:13Never a man really deserved five wickets.
00:20:16It was Bruce Reid.
00:20:18But that not to be.
00:20:19Hughes picked up three.
00:20:21Alderman a timely two wickets.
00:20:24Greg Matthews broke the partnership, of course,
00:20:27between Lamb and Gow that added 74 runs.
00:20:30But all in all, a pretty disappointing day's play
00:20:33from the Englishman.
00:20:34They may well have hoped that, in fact,
00:20:37their top two or three batsmen got away.
00:20:40That wasn't the case.
00:20:42That was a great performance from the Australian bowlers.
00:20:45They did wonderfully well there, all of them,
00:20:47and they were backed up by splendid feeling.
00:20:48The England card, 194 all out.
00:20:51Top score, 61 for David Gow, 20 for Chris Lewis and 32 for Lamb.
00:20:56The bowling figures for Australia,
00:20:57they accurately reflect what went on out in the centre.
00:21:00Alderman, 2 for 44.
00:21:02Reid was superb.
00:21:024 for 53.
00:21:04Hughes, 3 for 39.
00:21:05And Matthews, 1 for 30.
00:21:08In the minimum of five overs available at the end,
00:21:11the Australians moved on, not without an alarm or two,
00:21:14to be 16 without loss.
00:21:16Six overs in all bowls.
00:21:17Six for Marsh and four for Taylor.
00:21:19No wicket for 16.
00:21:20And the two bowlers used for England,
00:21:23Devon Malcolm and Angus Fraser.
00:21:26Now, it was definitely a day for the Australians
00:21:29and the Australian bowlers.
00:21:30The first test continues tomorrow.
00:21:32That's 11 o'clock Eastern Standard Time
00:21:34at the Gabba Brisbane.
00:21:35Tickets, Ticket World 07-223-0444.
00:21:39For the moment, from the Gabba, it's goodnight.
00:21:42Gabba, it's goodnight.
00:21:44This has been another presentation
00:21:46from Lyme's Wide World of Sports.
00:22:19Transcription by CastingWords
00:22:27Welcome to the highlights of the second day's play
00:22:29at the Gabba.
00:22:30The first day of this Ashes battle,
00:22:32intensely interesting.
00:22:33Low scoring, but very, very exciting and very tense.
00:22:37This is the way the second morning started.
00:22:39England bowled out yesterday for 194.
00:22:43A superb effort from the Australians.
00:22:45The fielding was good.
00:22:46And a top score there of David Gower, 61.
00:22:48194 all out.
00:22:49And the Australian batting at the close of play,
00:22:5216 without loss with the batsmen,
00:22:55Geoff Marsh and Mark Taylor.
00:22:57The England bowlers, just the two of them used,
00:22:59Devon Malcolm and Angus Fraser.
00:23:02We join play now in the second over of the day.
00:23:06Just six runs have been added.
00:23:07It's no wicket for 22.
00:23:08Fraser is the bowler.
00:23:10And Geoff Marsh is taking strike.
00:23:14Oh, that must be out.
00:23:15Very close.
00:23:16Well, let's see.
00:23:16Yes, he's got him.
00:23:17It's LBW.
00:23:18Well bowling is Fraser.
00:23:20Marsh is out LBW.
00:23:22He's got him.
00:23:23England have got off to a good start this morning.
00:23:25And that was spot on.
00:23:27Middle stump out of the ground.
00:23:29Yes, a very good piece of bowling early on.
00:23:31Committing the batsman to a shot.
00:23:32Marsh just playing across the crease.
00:23:33He's not coming forward and struck halfway up.
00:23:36There's no doubt about it.
00:23:37Tony Crafter had no hesitation whatsoever
00:23:40in judging Geoff Marsh LBW.
00:23:42That's the breakthrough that England needed.
00:23:44Marsh had a very good fighter out for nine.
00:23:46That's one for 22.
00:23:50David Boone is the new batsman.
00:23:52And this Fraser.
00:23:54The ball in the hand.
00:23:56A new ball for him.
00:24:00That's a good shot.
00:24:02And it's a good catch as well.
00:24:05Brilliantly taken there at gully.
00:24:09Magnificent effort from Chris Lewis.
00:24:11And Fraser has picked up his second wicket.
00:24:14That was a good shot.
00:24:16But he's known as a brilliant field of Chris Lewis.
00:24:19Very useful all-rounder.
00:24:21And Fraser has done the trick.
00:24:23He's cramped tail up the room.
00:24:25Catch taken at bootstrap level.
00:24:28And brilliantly so.
00:24:31The trademark shot for Taylor
00:24:33is the square cut.
00:24:35This one a little late.
00:24:36He arrives on it.
00:24:38Slashes it away.
00:24:39Lewis at home in the covers or in the slips
00:24:41took the magnificent catch.
00:24:43Sharp one.
00:24:44And now Australia have lost its second wicket.
00:24:46They're now two for 35.
00:24:48Taylor out for 10.
00:24:52Border.
00:24:54Captain of Australia.
00:24:55And facing problems.
00:24:58Tony Grigg was saying earlier that he'd spoken to Alan Lamb this morning just chatting away on a variety of
00:25:04things.
00:25:05And he reckoned that Gladstone Small might be the man.
00:25:09Rolling at a pace slightly less than that of Devon Malcolm.
00:25:14But able to move the ball off the seam.
00:25:16He's on now.
00:25:18The Stanley Street end.
00:25:24That would have been an absolute blinder by David Gower.
00:25:28It was well bowled by Gladstone Small.
00:25:30Found the outside edge.
00:25:31It's two for 41.
00:25:34Border drove it.
00:25:36Small got the edge and it flew.
00:25:38And it was a half a chance.
00:25:40Gower scooping with the right hand.
00:25:42And the ball just pops out.
00:25:48Border drives beautifully.
00:25:54Superb driver.
00:25:56And that's four.
00:25:57Not a bad delivery.
00:25:58But Border picked it up quickly.
00:26:03Struck it straight down the ground.
00:26:04That breaks the shackles for Alan Border.
00:26:09Out.
00:26:10It's gone.
00:26:10Beautiful piece of work.
00:26:12Well caught by Atherton in a second slip.
00:26:14And that's the wicket that England needed.
00:26:15As Ian Chappell said, he didn't drop it short.
00:26:17It was there.
00:26:18Border was forward.
00:26:19It carried the second slip.
00:26:20And the third wicket is down on 49.
00:26:23That's a good catch by Atherton.
00:26:25Graham Gooch getting a bit excited about it.
00:26:27Seeing his opposite number heading back to the pavilion.
00:26:31Gladstone Small was delighted by it.
00:26:33And it was a good piece of bowling.
00:26:35Just moving the ball away off the seam.
00:26:37That's a good catch by Atherton.
00:26:38Coming forward in the slips.
00:26:40It's not an easy thing to do when the quickies are operating.
00:26:43And Australia now 3 for 49.
00:26:57Dean Jones takes guard.
00:27:00Umpire Peter McConnell and England have Australia on the rack here at the Gabba.
00:27:053 for 49 on the second day.
00:27:08Chasing only 194.
00:27:10It's been a very good bowling performance by all the England bowlers this morning.
00:27:15He's out!
00:27:17And his life's gone through.
00:27:18I thought just for a brief moment there that Lewis had grabbed that one.
00:27:22And it went like a bullet to the fence.
00:27:23It was in the air.
00:27:24He threw himself to the right.
00:27:25It's all happening here at the Gabba.
00:27:27And Jones is off the mark.
00:27:34Magnificent boundary there to Dean Jones.
00:27:37Certainly was.
00:27:38But just for a brief moment I thought he was going to nail it.
00:27:41The guy in the gully threw himself and it went like a rocket.
00:27:49Close.
00:27:50He's gone.
00:27:50Yes.
00:27:51Good bowling.
00:27:52He's gone.
00:27:53That's the fourth one down.
00:27:54And England on top in the first session.
00:27:55It's 4 for 60.
00:27:59Watson Small has certainly been attacking.
00:28:01He's been really at the batsman the whole time.
00:28:06And he's got two pretty good rewards this morning.
00:28:10David Boone hit, I think, on the back pad there.
00:28:14And out LBW.
00:28:16Judged by umpire McConnell.
00:28:18So the fourth wicket down with just 60 runs on the board.
00:28:23Steve Waugh, the new batsman, is Tony Gregg and Jeff Boycott take up the commentary.
00:28:30It's in the air.
00:28:31He's gone.
00:28:32He's out.
00:28:32Got a cover.
00:28:34That's the end of Stephen Waugh.
00:28:36He's tried to play an aggressive shot to a very short ball outside off stump.
00:28:41And that was a dreadful shot.
00:28:43It's gone straight to cover.
00:28:45Smith has taken the catch.
00:28:47And Australia are now in deeper trouble.
00:28:51Well, that is a poor shot.
00:28:53He's just thrown the bat at the ball.
00:28:54Wide ball.
00:28:55Could have cut it anywhere.
00:28:57Could have back cut it.
00:28:58He hit it straight at cover point.
00:29:00And that really is a disappointing shot from a quality batsman.
00:29:07So Stephen Waugh, out for one, caught by Smith at cover, off the bowling of small.
00:29:12And Australia are now five for 64.
00:29:17Greg Matthews, the new batsman.
00:29:19Again, this phrase to Dean Jones.
00:29:25Let's look that through mid-wicket.
00:29:26That's racing out.
00:29:28Beautifully timed shot.
00:29:30Just straight onto leg stump.
00:29:31And Jones went through with a shot.
00:29:33And timed it superbly.
00:29:36That is a terrific shot.
00:29:38This is one of the great advantages of Dean Jones.
00:29:41Saw him in England a couple of times.
00:29:45When, or on the rare occasions, that Australia had a mini collapse.
00:29:50One was at Edgbeston.
00:29:52I think they lost two or three for 17 in one short period there.
00:29:56And Jones just came to the crease and started attacking the bowling.
00:30:01Five for 85 as Lewis takes up the attack to Dean Jones.
00:30:06It's gone.
00:30:07What a catch by Smorge.
00:30:09Cover.
00:30:10The Englishman are fielding.
00:30:11Grintley Jones driving on the up.
00:30:13And Gladstone Small took a gem of a catch.
00:30:16A wicket for Lewis.
00:30:17And that's the one they wanted.
00:30:18Jones out for 17.
00:30:20Well, Gladstone Small has really been in this game all day.
00:30:24He's looked very competitive with the ball.
00:30:26He's bowled beautifully to take three wickets.
00:30:29And what a very good catch.
00:30:31Dean Jones hit it hard.
00:30:32It was low.
00:30:33And Gladstone Small has dived forward and sideways.
00:30:37That is a brilliant cover catch.
00:30:39Dean Jones out.
00:30:42And Australia have lost their sixth wicket with the score 89.
00:30:47You can hear me, the new batsman.
00:30:49Australia in real trouble at six for 89.
00:30:55Now!
00:31:00Apart from the pull or hook shot, the cut is also favoured by Healy.
00:31:06This is his home ground.
00:31:07He has a good knowledge of the way in which the pitch will play.
00:31:10Devon Malcolm is being brought on from the Vulture Street end.
00:31:17He's made quite a big impact at Dimeshirt 2.
00:31:20There's a big mix-up here.
00:31:21Get rid of it.
00:31:22No, he hasn't gotten rid of it.
00:31:23He's taken all day to get rid of the thing.
00:31:26And there's a huge collision.
00:31:28They're lying around all over the place down there.
00:31:30The England wicketkeeper looks as if he's in a spot of bother.
00:31:33He's collided with one of the batsmen.
00:31:35And Devon Malcolm is also involved.
00:31:38And no one wants to collide with him.
00:31:40It looks as if the England wicketkeeper, Jack Russell, has a bit of a problem there.
00:31:47And he's up now, so that's good news.
00:31:50But have a look at this for a mix-up.
00:31:53This really beats the short field.
00:31:56Yes, no, and it wasn't a very good decision there.
00:32:00Look at this.
00:32:01Eye on the ball.
00:32:02This is the problem area.
00:32:04Collision between huge fast bowler and very tiny Jack Russell.
00:32:07But all is well.
00:32:15But that too was a good shot.
00:32:17Another short ball outside off Stumpen.
00:32:19Cut beautifully away down towards the third man boundary and in fact into it.
00:32:26So once again, Healy getting on to the short one.
00:32:29That was well played.
00:32:30Six for 121.
00:32:43Greg Matthews facing on 31.
00:32:48And Healy is on 18.
00:32:54Devon Malcolm coming from the Vulture Street end.
00:32:59A shot.
00:33:01It thrashed him through the covers at Belle Reve Oval in the Australian XI game.
00:33:07And then was out next ball.
00:33:09Caught at point.
00:33:10Trying to thrash a short one.
00:33:12This is a pretty interesting contest between these two.
00:33:21Third man's got a chance.
00:33:23Gladstone Small.
00:33:24And it's gone straight down his throat.
00:33:27And Greg Matthews is disappointed as well he might be.
00:33:30That's an unlucky and certainly a most unfortunate dismissal for Australia at that time.
00:33:36There's a little bit of luck involved in this one.
00:33:38Except in fact it's a small quarter.
00:33:39As clean as the whistle.
00:33:41Always hard to pick up when a man slashes outside the line of the off Stumpen.
00:33:44I did feel that Devon Malcolm was really charging in the previous bounce.
00:33:47That was almost a wide.
00:33:48He went for it.
00:33:49With thick his edge it threw sharply down to small.
00:33:52He judged it well.
00:33:53And that's the end of a very good image from Greg Matthews.
00:33:56A fighting knock from the all-rounder at the 35.
00:34:00And it's 7 for 1-3-5.
00:34:06Very courageous fella Merv.
00:34:07Doesn't mind to take the ball on the body if it's needed.
00:34:12It's a good hit.
00:34:13That's a glorious lofted off drive.
00:34:16It's straight through the line of the ball.
00:34:18Smalls very quick.
00:34:21And doesn't get it.
00:34:22So there the crowd on the hill roars.
00:34:24Big Merv takes control here.
00:34:26Very positive stroke.
00:34:28Nice breeze blowing down the ground from the cricketers club at fine leg way down the mid-off.
00:34:34And Merv hitting right into the slipstream there.
00:34:37Up and over mid-off.
00:34:38A beautiful shot.
00:34:40The sort of shot that you would expect from a big man.
00:34:43It's been a hard slog for the Australian batsman.
00:34:46Healy doing very well on 22.
00:34:48Getting support from Hughes on 9.
00:34:50Angus Fraser from the members end.
00:34:57That's well caught.
00:34:58Jack Russell doesn't get many chances here today.
00:35:00But he takes a fine catch.
00:35:02And Angus Fraser picks up his third wicket.
00:35:04That ball really flew.
00:35:06This is Jack Russell, the man with the creative hands.
00:35:10Only a short man.
00:35:12About 63 kilograms.
00:35:15Big thick edge.
00:35:16Moves across.
00:35:19In fact, that's the way it ought to be.
00:35:22The big fast bowler, Angus Fraser, who bowled so beautifully well in the first session of play here this morning.
00:35:27He picks up another.
00:35:28Big Merv use out for nine.
00:35:29So, we're into the tail now.
00:35:31And Australia 8 for 150.
00:35:34Bruce Reid with a batting average of 6.25.
00:35:36So, England now amongst the batting bunnies with Reid and Alderman to follow.
00:35:43Go on, great catch by Atherton.
00:35:45My word, they've caught well today, England.
00:35:47They've been brilliant in the field.
00:35:48That was a superb catch.
00:35:50It was going quickly.
00:35:51He dived to his right.
00:35:52That's the end of a very good knock by Ian Healy.
00:35:54But my word, England on fire at the Gabba.
00:35:58Lewis looking for the quicker one.
00:36:01Found that little bit extra.
00:36:03The difference between getting the edge and not.
00:36:05Extra bounce.
00:36:08Little wide.
00:36:09Keep the fissures.
00:36:11What a good catch.
00:36:12Atherton anticipating that one to go to his right.
00:36:15The body language was there.
00:36:17Soft hands.
00:36:18Waited a long time.
00:36:20Good catch.
00:36:20Healy 22, Australia 9 for 150.
00:36:30Scott Airman's all over for Australia.
00:36:31They have bowled out for 152.
00:36:33And that's a magnificent day for England.
00:36:36Three wickets for Lewis.
00:36:38A very good team effort.
00:36:40They caught grantly.
00:36:41They supported their bowlers.
00:36:43And England have locked Australia.
00:36:46Defending only 194.
00:36:48They have bowled Australia out on the second day for 152.
00:36:51Three wickets to Lewis.
00:36:53Small, Fraser.
00:36:55And one to Malcolm.
00:36:56And Alan Lamb would be a very happy captain.
00:36:58Although he knows in the back of his mind
00:37:00this next hour and a half
00:37:02could decide the test match.
00:37:03If they bat well tonight,
00:37:05England in a very sound position.
00:37:16What a marvellous performance
00:37:18from the England bowlers there
00:37:19and the fielders and the captain.
00:37:20And they did a terrific job all the way through.
00:37:23The Australian card, 152 all out.
00:37:25Matthews 35 top score and Healy 22.
00:37:28And the only worthwhile partnership,
00:37:30Matthews and Healy 46.
00:37:31And it took them 111 balls.
00:37:34The bowling figures, Malcolm 1 for 45.
00:37:36Fraser 3 for 33.
00:37:38Small 3 for 34.
00:37:39And Lewis 3 for 29.
00:37:42We join play now in the England second innings.
00:37:45It's the second over.
00:37:46It's the first ball Wayne Larkins has faced.
00:37:48Bruce Reid is the bowler.
00:37:50And keep an eye on Larkins' footwork.
00:37:59LBW first ball.
00:38:01That swung very, very late.
00:38:05There's no doubt about the movement in the air there.
00:38:08Reid is struck straight away.
00:38:12And Wayne Larkins has had an unfortunate match.
00:38:16It looked to me as though he got very close to that at all.
00:38:20First movement was way back.
00:38:23Almost lined himself up with the stumps.
00:38:26Certainly in poor position there.
00:38:29So it's been a disastrous match for Wayne Larkins.
00:38:34And Graham Gooch, who didn't want any disasters,
00:38:38has had to sit back and watch one.
00:38:40Larkins out for a duck.
00:38:44And it's one for none.
00:38:48David Gower is the new batsman.
00:38:54No third man for runs.
00:39:01Quite firmly played there by David Gower.
00:39:05It was an edge, but a pretty thick one.
00:39:08And it certainly went along the ground all the way.
00:39:11And Alderman is the bowler.
00:39:15In the air and through the gap.
00:39:18Right through the gap and down to the boundary for four.
00:39:21Well, is Borda going to plug that gap?
00:39:24Time will be the judge of that,
00:39:25because that's the end of the over.
00:39:27It's now one for 32.
00:39:33Oh, he's got it!
00:39:35That's a magnificent delivery from Alderman.
00:39:37What a very clever shot from Atherton there.
00:39:40It looked to me as if he was closing the face of the bat
00:39:43just a little bit.
00:39:43The ball was swinging away.
00:39:45He's missed it, and it's hit off stump.
00:39:50Well, it's a beautiful swinging delivery
00:39:52that gets Atherton turned around.
00:39:54Look, turns him right around,
00:39:56and he's falling off balance,
00:39:58walking forward as a beautiful out swinger.
00:40:01Well, let's have a look at this from Stump Vision.
00:40:04See how he closes the face here of the bat.
00:40:06This is not a very good shot at all.
00:40:07It swings out a little bit,
00:40:09and the bat goes away down there towards mid-wicket,
00:40:11and I'm afraid that Atherton won't be very proud of that one.
00:40:14So a dreadful shock there for England.
00:40:18Two down now for 42.
00:40:21Gower, 27.
00:40:22Lamb on three.
00:40:23Mervyn Hughes from the members' end
00:40:24with a nice breeze coming across from mid-wicket to cover.
00:40:29Get the ball to move away from David Gower.
00:40:31Three slips, a gully, and a leg slip in.
00:40:34They fancied themselves in that leg slip position
00:40:36from the Australians against Gower.
00:40:38Got him!
00:40:40It's not an edge over the leg stump,
00:40:41but all of a sudden it's three for 46.
00:40:43A vital wicket.
00:40:44The big fella's broken through,
00:40:46and that's the wicket the Australians needed tonight.
00:40:49Gower, Queenvale.
00:40:52Atherton and Gower were doing the hard work
00:40:55and were weathering the storm,
00:40:57and so often we see one wicket fall
00:40:59and then the man at the other end.
00:41:00That one chopped in from outside the line of the off stump.
00:41:03The big fella, Merv Hughes, enthusiastic,
00:41:07an inspiration to his team,
00:41:09and what a pressure situation now.
00:41:12Not too long to stumps.
00:41:14Gower out for 27.
00:41:16England three for 46 in the second dig.
00:41:19Night watchman Jack Russell,
00:41:21a very early night watchman at 5.39,
00:41:24with 10 overs to be bowled.
00:41:29Oh, fine shot.
00:41:30That's very strong.
00:41:31Square to the wicket.
00:41:32That's four.
00:41:34Beautifully played square cut.
00:41:36It's his natural game to get on the back foot
00:41:39and hit the ball very hard.
00:41:40He likes to drive through the covers,
00:41:42strong of his pads.
00:41:47Still have to bowl very well on this wicket.
00:41:50It's a little bit there,
00:41:53but anything too wide,
00:41:55Australian width and length,
00:41:57he very easily dispatched away.
00:42:00And Mervyn Hughes with the valuable wicket of Gower,
00:42:05ready to come in from the members' end.
00:42:08Goal!
00:42:09Yes!
00:42:10Second slip!
00:42:10What do you drop it?
00:42:11Dear, oh dear!
00:42:13Straight to him,
00:42:14and it went out.
00:42:16Well, that was almost a regulation catch for Border.
00:42:19It was in there,
00:42:20and then it was out.
00:42:22Well, apart from Mark Taylor,
00:42:24Border would have to be
00:42:26the best slipper in the side.
00:42:28He has taken some magnificent catches.
00:42:30One in the first innings.
00:42:32Here, by his own standard,
00:42:35a relatively simple one.
00:42:36In fact, he snatched at that.
00:42:38Couldn't let it just hang on there
00:42:40a little longer before grabbing at the ball.
00:42:43Captain to captain,
00:42:44and he put it down.
00:42:50That's one of the more unlikely occurrences
00:42:52in test cricket.
00:42:53One of the very strange things you'll see.
00:42:55Alan Border has taken 126 catches,
00:42:57and there he put down,
00:42:59what for him was a relatively simple one.
00:43:01He'll be very disappointed at that.
00:43:03There were four more runs added
00:43:04to take the total up to three for 56
00:43:06at the close of play.
00:43:07The batsman out,
00:43:08Atherton,
00:43:08Bold,
00:43:08Alderman,
00:43:0915.
00:43:10Larkens over W.
00:43:11Reid,
00:43:11no score,
00:43:11and Gower,
00:43:12bowled by Hughes for 27.
00:43:14And the bowling figures,
00:43:16Alderman one wicket,
00:43:17Reid won,
00:43:18and Hughes won.
00:43:19So, England,
00:43:20just in the ascendancy at the moment.
00:43:22This has been a very exciting match.
00:43:24It's also been a very low-scoring game,
00:43:26and a very slow game.
00:43:28And, dare I say it,
00:43:30I just wondered,
00:43:31at the close of play on the second day,
00:43:32if the public had been well-served
00:43:34by having only 77 overs
00:43:36on the second day.
00:43:38And that, I say,
00:43:39even despite the excitement.
00:43:40For the moment,
00:43:41it's goodbye from...
00:43:43Three days to go in the Gabba Test match.
00:43:45Welcome to the highlights of day three.
00:43:47England in a little bit of trouble overnight.
00:43:49They were three for 56
00:43:50with the not-out batsmen,
00:43:52Alan Lamb,
00:43:53and Jack Russell.
00:43:54Just to look at the scorecard
00:43:55as they began.
00:43:57Three for 56,
00:43:58the men out,
00:43:59Atherton for 15.
00:44:00Larkens no score,
00:44:01and Gower 27
00:44:02with Alderman Reid
00:44:04and Hughes
00:44:05having taken the wickets.
00:44:06We join play now,
00:44:08early in the morning,
00:44:09where the pitch
00:44:09should be playing
00:44:11at just about its best
00:44:12in the whole of the match.
00:44:13The juice should have gone out of it.
00:44:15The pace bowler shouldn't get
00:44:16quite as much work
00:44:17on the ball.
00:44:18They shouldn't be able
00:44:19to move it off the seam
00:44:19or in the air
00:44:21quite as much
00:44:22as they have done
00:44:22all the way through.
00:44:23Alderman is the bowler.
00:44:25Lamb is taking strike.
00:44:33There's a good start
00:44:34for Alan Lamb.
00:44:36Typical short-arm Lamb jab,
00:44:38and to talk about
00:44:39in the commentary box,
00:44:40Bill Lorry and Max Walker.
00:44:42Thank you, Richie.
00:44:43Good morning, all,
00:44:43and that's a good start.
00:44:45Positive start from Lamb.
00:44:47It was a short delivery,
00:44:47and Alderman cannot afford
00:44:48to be short.
00:44:49He didn't even go back.
00:44:50He stood at attention.
00:44:51R.R. dug Walters
00:44:52and pulled it through
00:44:53mid-wicket for four,
00:44:54so Lamb onto 14.
00:44:57And Alderman will be aware
00:44:59that he must kick the ball up.
00:45:02Stroll barbed's close.
00:45:03He's got him.
00:45:04Alderman strikes.
00:45:05The first over.
00:45:07Lamb out LBW for 14.
00:45:12How often have we seen this?
00:45:14Big out, swing out.
00:45:16One, two, three in a row.
00:45:18And then this one.
00:45:20The off-cutter.
00:45:21Let that one go
00:45:22very close to the stumps.
00:45:24Stump to stump.
00:45:25No problems there
00:45:27from umpire crafter,
00:45:28and the English captain
00:45:29is on the way.
00:45:31What a huge body blow.
00:45:33So the England captain
00:45:34out for 14,
00:45:36and are now four for 60
00:45:38in a second dig.
00:45:40Robin Smith,
00:45:40the new batsman.
00:45:42The non-strikers end.
00:45:43It's going to be
00:45:44Bruce Reid to Jack Russell.
00:45:50It's an edge down.
00:45:51It races away.
00:45:52There's no third man.
00:45:55Stephen Ward,
00:45:56the fieldsman.
00:45:58That's four runs.
00:45:59And every run
00:46:00so variable for England.
00:46:01It's a bad start.
00:46:02Australia certainly on top here,
00:46:04despite the first innings
00:46:06lead of 42.
00:46:12It's in the end.
00:46:13He's gone.
00:46:14He's in it straight to Madon.
00:46:15That is an absolute tragedy
00:46:17from England's point of view.
00:46:19The Australians have struck
00:46:21again this morning.
00:46:23Not only have they struck,
00:46:24they've got Lamb out.
00:46:25Now Smith has hit one
00:46:26straight to Madon.
00:46:29Well, after Hobart,
00:46:30when Lamb and Smith
00:46:31played so well,
00:46:32you wouldn't believe
00:46:32this could happen.
00:46:33He's not quite to the pitch
00:46:34of that.
00:46:35A slightly slower delivery
00:46:36from Alderman,
00:46:36who's bowled quite beautifully
00:46:37this morning.
00:46:40And the catch taken safely
00:46:42at mid-on
00:46:43by the man who has
00:46:44a broken finger
00:46:45on his left hand.
00:46:46No way that was getting
00:46:48a broken finger or not.
00:46:49And Robin Smith
00:46:50is out for one.
00:46:51Now two wickets down
00:46:52this morning.
00:46:52Takes England to five
00:46:54for 78.
00:46:55The new batsman
00:46:56is Alex Stewart.
00:46:56And he really did
00:46:59get out to the centre
00:47:00very quickly.
00:47:05In the air!
00:47:06One catch!
00:47:06He's got him in the gully!
00:47:07That's been smashed
00:47:08like a racer bullet
00:47:10straight to gully.
00:47:12And Cantrell
00:47:13doesn't drop him.
00:47:14We've seen him this summer
00:47:16catch him.
00:47:17And that was another example
00:47:19of a magnificent catch
00:47:21because it went flying
00:47:22off the meat of the bat.
00:47:23And full marks
00:47:24to Borda and Alderman
00:47:25for their field placing
00:47:26there.
00:47:27Not so much that
00:47:28it was the man
00:47:30on the onside
00:47:30but then Alderman
00:47:31fed the one
00:47:32outside off stump
00:47:33for the slips
00:47:34wicketkeeper
00:47:34and gully
00:47:35and Cantrell
00:47:36has pulled it
00:47:37from nowhere.
00:47:38A magnificent catch.
00:47:40He took two blinders
00:47:41in Hobart
00:47:42in the Australian 11 game.
00:47:43He's one of the best
00:47:44gully fields around
00:47:45and England
00:47:47deep in trouble
00:47:48now
00:47:48at 6
00:47:50for 84.
00:48:01So Chris Lewis
00:48:02the new batsman
00:48:03just 22 years of age
00:48:04only four test matches
00:48:07this is a big ask
00:48:08for him
00:48:08he's out there
00:48:09with little Jack Russell
00:48:11who's played
00:48:11very well
00:48:13Reid
00:48:13has now been
00:48:14taken out of the tack
00:48:16and
00:48:17Merv Hughes
00:48:18is going to take up
00:48:18the attack
00:48:19from this
00:48:20the Vulture Street
00:48:20end
00:48:21to tell you more
00:48:21about that
00:48:21it's going to be
00:48:22Ian Chappell
00:48:23and Jeff Boycott.
00:48:30Appeal there
00:48:31from Dean Jones
00:48:34he was pretty excited
00:48:35about it
00:48:36but Jack Russell
00:48:37was skidding
00:48:39across the ground
00:48:40and umpire McConnell
00:48:42was moving
00:48:43very quickly
00:48:43to get into position
00:48:44and in fact
00:48:45was in very good position
00:48:46but it was
00:48:47an excellent piece
00:48:48of work
00:48:49all round.
00:48:50Wonderful cricket
00:48:51there's
00:48:51good quick call
00:48:52from Jack Russell
00:48:53and the feel
00:48:54they're coming in
00:48:55quickly
00:48:55underarm throw
00:48:56and actually
00:48:57hit the stump
00:48:57side on
00:48:59now
00:49:00you wouldn't like
00:49:01to have been
00:49:01the umpire
00:49:02to have given
00:49:02that out
00:49:03or not out
00:49:06Steve Waugh
00:49:07is coming on
00:49:07and we're being
00:49:09relieved
00:49:09in the commentary
00:49:10box by
00:49:10Bill Lorry
00:49:11and Tony Gregg
00:49:14Oh that's got to be out
00:49:15yes it's swung
00:49:15but yes he's got him
00:49:16he's got him
00:49:17LBW
00:49:18Stephen Waugh
00:49:19has swung that one
00:49:20back
00:49:20right down the line
00:49:22and I think
00:49:23well my reaction
00:49:24certainly was
00:49:25that without LBW
00:49:26Russell was going
00:49:27forward
00:49:28I don't think
00:49:28he was very far
00:49:29forward
00:49:29the umpire down
00:49:30that end
00:49:31umpire craft
00:49:31had a good long
00:49:32look
00:49:32and eventually
00:49:33gave him out
00:49:34a dirt swing
00:49:35played very well
00:49:37Jack Russell
00:49:38the quarter
00:49:39swung the change
00:49:40his right arm
00:49:41over the wicket
00:49:42ball pitched
00:49:43and swung back
00:49:44and there was no doubt
00:49:45it stayed down
00:49:46he was out
00:49:46and that's
00:49:47another wicket
00:49:48down England
00:49:487 for 93
00:49:49they've scored
00:49:5037 runs
00:49:51in over 90 minutes
00:49:52this morning
00:49:53and the Australians
00:49:54have dominated
00:49:54this session of play
00:49:55Russell after a fighting

00:50:01Gadsden Small

00:50:07and down towards
00:50:08fine leg
00:50:09reeds moving across
00:50:10but he won't be able
00:50:10to get to that one
00:50:12that was slightly
00:50:13off line
00:50:13it was a slightly
00:50:14quicker delivery
00:50:15as well
00:50:15and it went flying
00:50:17off the inside edge
00:50:18of Gadsden Small's bat
00:50:22that's the small
00:50:23trying to put
00:50:24bat to ball here
00:50:25he really went
00:50:26through with that shot
00:50:27got enough bat
00:50:28to get it fine
00:50:29and it raced
00:50:30away for four
00:50:31Merv Hughes

00:50:34Street End
00:50:34three slips
00:50:35and a gully
00:50:35in
00:50:38well that's got
00:50:39to be very close
00:50:40maybe there was
00:50:42an inside edge
00:50:43there
00:50:43Gladstone Small
00:50:44perhaps a glance
00:50:45at the bat
00:50:46he seemed to be
00:50:46pretty well in line
00:50:48but
00:50:48umpire McConnell
00:50:50wasn't that
00:50:51interested at all
00:50:53Merv seems
00:50:53a little bemused
00:50:55by it all
00:50:55it's 7 for 110
00:50:58and I thought
00:50:59there may have been
00:51:00a bit of an inside
00:51:00edge
00:51:01the way Gladstone
00:51:02looked at his bat
00:51:03but having another
00:51:05look at it
00:51:05I think it was
00:51:06just sliding down
00:51:07leg side
00:51:09Gumpire McConnell
00:51:10was pretty relaxed
00:51:11about it all
00:51:15it's Terry Alderman
00:51:16from the Stanley
00:51:17Street End
00:51:20once again
00:51:20a big shout
00:51:21and Gumpire

00:51:29has picked up

00:51:47the bat
00:51:48smashed into the
00:51:49side of the pad
00:51:50the ball was
00:51:51cleanly striking
00:51:52the pad
00:51:53in front of the
00:51:53stump
00:51:54so Lewis

00:52:04at number 10
00:52:06he bowled
00:52:06extremely well
00:52:07now the
00:52:08England side
00:52:09will be
00:52:09expecting him
00:52:10to make
00:52:11a few runs
00:52:11for them
00:52:16Fraser
00:52:16into the gully
00:52:17and Cantrell
00:52:18doesn't miss
00:52:18difficult ones
00:52:20sitters like
00:52:21that
00:52:22like shelling
00:52:23peas
00:52:23so the

00:52:35head not
00:52:36necessarily
00:52:37across in line
00:52:38with the ball
00:52:38not the best
00:52:40looking shot
00:52:41in the world
00:52:41in fact
00:52:43the odds
00:52:43on it
00:52:44going to the
00:52:44slip score
00:52:45were pretty good
00:52:46in the finish
00:52:46it was a thick
00:52:47edge
00:52:47Orleman takes
00:52:49his 6th wicket
00:52:50and Cantrell
00:52:51the 2nd catch

00:53:27as well have
00:53:28taken that
00:53:28single
00:53:29so England
00:53:30have their

00:53:50it's a nasty
00:53:51one to play
00:53:51a little movement
00:53:52away
00:53:53the finish
00:53:54Terry Alderman

00:54:03into safe
00:54:03hands
00:54:04so the big
00:54:05Victorian
00:54:05angry in the
00:54:07previous over
00:54:09and that one
00:54:10of course
00:54:10a just reward
00:54:12for some good
00:54:13performances
00:54:14by the Australian
00:54:15bowlers
00:54:15so England's
00:54:17lowest ever

00:54:24for victory
00:54:25we'll be back
00:54:26at the gabber
00:54:27in just a moment
00:54:27with Richie
00:54:28Penneau
00:54:37that I'm afraid
00:54:38was a very
00:54:39dismal effort
00:54:40full credit
00:54:40to Terry Alderman
00:54:41for some splendid
00:54:42bowling
00:54:42he bowled
00:54:43quite beautifully
00:54:43but there wasn't
00:54:44a great deal
00:54:45in the pitch
00:54:46there
00:54:46for the bowlers
00:54:47it was a case
00:54:47of the batting
00:54:48I'm afraid
00:54:49being rather
00:54:50substandard
00:54:51allied
00:54:51to that excellent
00:54:52performance
00:54:53from the Australians
00:54:53in the field
00:54:54and with the ball
00:54:55that's the England
00:54:56scorecard
00:54:58114
00:54:58Lamb out
00:54:59for 14
00:54:59that was the
00:55:00crucial wicket
00:55:00after Border
00:55:01dropped him
00:55:01yesterday evening
00:55:02Alderman got
00:55:03through there
00:55:04then Russell
00:55:0415
00:55:05Smith 1
00:55:06Stewart 6
00:55:06Lewis and Small
00:55:08a little flurry
00:55:09there
00:55:09they put on
00:55:1019
00:55:10from 50 balls
00:55:11faced
00:55:11making 14
00:55:12and 15
00:55:13respectively
00:55:14Fraser a duck
00:55:14and Malcolm
00:55:16unbeaten
00:55:17on nought
00:55:17and the bowling
00:55:18figures
00:55:18Alderman's best
00:55:19ever test match
00:55:19figures
00:55:2022 overs
00:55:217 maidens

00:55:25and 11 times
00:55:27against England
00:55:28Reid 1 for 40
00:55:29Hughes I thought
00:55:30bowled very well
00:55:31and with great
00:55:31common sense
00:55:3212.1 overs
00:55:335 maidens
00:55:342 for 17
00:55:34and War
00:55:361 for 7
00:55:37the Australians
00:55:38need 157
00:55:40to win
00:55:41here's the third
00:55:41ball of the innings
00:55:42Fraser is the bowler
00:55:43Mark Taylor
00:55:44the left hander
00:55:44is taking strike
00:55:49big shout
00:55:50it's got to be close
00:55:52well they had a
00:55:54question there
00:55:54it was probably
00:55:55just swinging down
00:55:56legs
00:55:56so it held its line
00:55:57but there's been
00:55:58plenty of LBW
00:55:59decisions in this match
00:56:03well there's a good
00:56:04shout here
00:56:05very close
00:56:06early on
00:56:06a lot of tension
00:56:07and nerves
00:56:08maybe just swinging
00:56:09down leg side
00:56:10but my goodness
00:56:11me
00:56:11that was pretty
00:56:13close
00:56:13I was certainly
00:56:14shouting
00:56:15there's an Englishman
00:56:16in my seat
00:56:16Bill Lorry
00:56:20now ball
00:56:21and he's paid
00:56:21the penalty
00:56:22it races away
00:56:22for four
00:56:23superb
00:56:24late pack
00:56:36well just overstep
00:56:37in here
00:56:37but it was a call
00:56:38it was so quick
00:56:39by the umpire
00:56:40it gave Jeff Marsh
00:56:41time to get on to that
00:56:42it's one of his favourite
00:56:43shots
00:56:43the back cut
00:56:44it just gave him
00:56:45that extra fraction
00:56:46of a second
00:56:48to cut the ball
00:56:52it's a good shot
00:56:53race away
00:56:54towards the boundary
00:56:54loses the field
00:56:55and he's quite sharp
00:56:59but he won't get it
00:57:00so another valuable
00:57:01boundary to Jeff Marsh
00:57:02he does play
00:57:03that square cut
00:57:04and late cut
00:57:04beautifully
00:57:11it's going to be
00:57:12Gladstone Small
00:57:12once again
00:57:15it's a glorious shot
00:57:16beautiful cover drive
00:57:17from Jeff Marsh
00:57:18it was in the slot
00:57:19he went through
00:57:20with a cover drive
00:57:21that's a glory shot
00:57:22one of the best
00:57:22strokes we've seen
00:57:23in this match
00:57:26well that was
00:57:27an exquisite shot
00:57:28from Jeff Marsh
00:57:30just gave him
00:57:30a little bit of width
00:57:31and pitched it up
00:57:32foot to the ball
00:57:33it's the foot to the ball
00:57:34head right over it
00:57:36that makes the shot
00:57:37easy then
00:57:37to go through
00:57:38with the bat
00:57:41here's Fraser
00:57:45a splendid stroke
00:57:47from Jeff Marsh
00:57:51beautifully timed
00:57:52and so well placed
00:57:54that not even
00:57:54Fraser with his height
00:57:56could get at it
00:57:56it's none for 36
00:58:00this is Devon Malcolm
00:58:01bowling to Taylor
00:58:02staying over the wicket
00:58:03this time
00:58:07that is a cracking shot
00:58:09it's the one
00:58:09where they picked
00:58:11Taylor up
00:58:11in the first innings
00:58:12caught at gully
00:58:13by Lewis or Fraser
00:58:15but he hit that
00:58:16straight down
00:58:16into the ground
00:58:17and it took
00:58:19well no more than
00:58:20two seconds
00:58:21to thrash
00:58:22against
00:58:23the boundary
00:58:27yes that's a
00:58:28magnificent shot
00:58:28played right into
00:58:30the gap
00:58:30on the offside
00:58:31the ball
00:58:31just a little bit
00:58:31short
00:58:32and Mark Taylor
00:58:34playing that
00:58:36cut shot
00:58:36superbly
00:58:39just like that
00:58:40shot
00:58:41that
00:58:42is almost
00:58:44a replica
00:58:44of the stroke
00:58:45played earlier
00:58:46in the over
00:58:47quite a brilliant
00:58:48stroke
00:58:49for Mark Taylor
00:58:50and 50 up

00:58:52Australia

00:59:04towards the boundary
00:59:05it's beautifully
00:59:06timed
00:59:09this timing
00:59:10has been
00:59:10very good
00:59:11in this inning
00:59:11she's got the ball
00:59:12to the boundary
00:59:13with much more ease
00:59:15than probably
00:59:16most other batsmen
00:59:17in this match
00:59:22place that
00:59:23no ball
00:59:23beautifully

00:59:40fine

00:59:53earlier in the
00:59:54day for
00:59:55some very
00:59:56ordinary batting

01:04:41well they made
01:04:42it look easy
01:04:43didn't they
01:04:43all the problems
01:04:44of the early
01:04:45part of this
01:04:46match disappeared
01:04:47and taylor and
01:04:48marsh gave the
01:04:48england attack
01:04:49a tremendous
01:04:50hammering and
01:04:51that won't be a
01:04:52confidence boost
01:04:52for england either
01:04:53if they could have
01:04:53picked up some
01:04:54wickets out there
01:04:55at least they
01:04:55could have gone
01:04:56home after three
01:04:56days and said
01:04:57well we had a
01:04:58bit of a dash
01:04:58at it and we've
01:05:00got something to
01:05:00look forward to
01:05:01for the future
01:05:01but their batting
01:05:02failed today and
01:05:03then their bowlers
01:05:04failed to take a
01:05:05wicket the final
01:05:06card for the
01:05:06australians
01:05:07taylor 67
01:05:08not out
01:05:09marsh 72
01:05:10not out
01:05:1018 extras
01:05:11none for 157
01:05:13a record opening
01:05:14stand against
01:05:15england at the
01:05:15gabber
01:05:16beating the one
01:05:17previously held
01:05:17by bill lorry
01:05:18and bob simpson
01:05:19that was established
01:05:20in 1962
01:05:22well that was a
01:05:23wonderful win for the
01:05:24australians they
01:05:24played very well
01:05:25they played better
01:05:26than the englishman
01:05:26whose batting was
01:05:27disappointing and
01:05:28whose bowling they
01:05:30found couldn't get
01:05:30through at all
01:05:32against taylor and
01:05:33marsh this afternoon
01:05:34so there's plenty of
01:05:34thinking to be done
01:05:35there i wasn't too
01:05:36impressed by the
01:05:37pitch up here i
01:05:37thought there was
01:05:38much too much life in
01:05:39it at the start and
01:05:40we now move out of
01:05:41the test match and
01:05:42into the limited over
01:05:43scene and the first
01:05:44game of the world

01:05:47pscg comes up on
01:05:49thursday it's australia
01:05:51against new zealand
01:05:52and it is a day night
01:05:54game for the moment
01:05:55it's good
