Five-fer in the end for Broad, Anderson with a couple this morning too finally.
Brilliant catch by Prior to get Rogers out. Good morning for England really, only 30odd behind

Told you we should've dropped Broad for Onions
How massively embarrassing for Tony Hill that was, Harris pretty much walked in the first place, then marched off along with everyone else as soon as he saw the replay, in the end he had to give a batter out who was already most of the way off the field! Truly awful decision though, I can understand getting the Rogers one wrong live as it just brushed the bottom of the glove but that was about as plumb an LBW as its possible to get. These 4 are going to do all 5 tests in Aus too

There was a slight wooden noise, which I'm guessing was his reasoning

Pietersen is such a dick sometimes, why try and whip an off spinner, who is bowling round, through the leg side from so far outside off? He's not turning many, give youself room and drive him through the covers or use your feet and hit over mid off ffs.
How good is Bell though, those two cover drives off Harris

That LBW decision was shocking, as it turned out it didn't matter because of reviews, but imagine if England didn't have any left, we could have been left with another Ashton Agar situation losing vital runs because of such a poor decision.
Ian Bell FTW though

This is shaping up to be a great finish, love Ashes cricket, no other series seems to bring up drama like this.

If we get Clarke tonight I think we'll win, if not then we wont

Gotta agree with Warne that Cook hasn't performed well as captain this series, far too defensive all the time. Even going against his bowlers when they call for close fielders

He's a safe captain, that's about the best I can say about him. He's certainly not particularly inventive nor does he really go for throat when an opposition are wobbling.
That said he's the best we've got and I'm not sure he has 100% faith in our attack at the moment.

Beauty from Broad to get Clarke.
Smith somehow played on, and Watson now out LBW. Again.

Ball clearly reversing now, that delivery to Clarke should've tailed in but went away, likewise the ball to Haddin angled in but should've swung away. Hopefully Anderson can pick his pace up slightly and it should start going for him too.

Broad is unplayable when he wants to be.

And utter shit when he doesn't... Such a frustrating player, he's been brilliant this match though

I reckon Jimmy will be rested for the final test now we've won this. He's been below par for the first time I can remember. Think he'd bowled more overs than any other seamer before this test

At 6'6" and capable of bowling 90mph he should be unplayable a lot more often, most bowlers would kill for that sort of natural advantage. He is so dangerous when he's pitching up that it's massively frustrating when he resorts to banging it in back of a length again.

Heard on TMS that Onions has broken a finger and is out for a few weeks. If they do rest Anderson then it seems likely Tremlett will get a run out.

That'll be that then, was half hoping for a closer finish but its always nice to see Australian wickets falling.
Harsh on Bell and Harris but Broad has to be MOM for me.
