    Or is it that they're speaking too much English?

    Wow. Australia went from 281-3 to 367 all out, six runs behind England's first innings score of 373. That's quite a comeback for England. Hooray!

    Oh yeah. It was great to watch, particularly Hoggy when he finally got his well-deserved wickets.

    Yep, it's quite remarkable really. Hopefully the comeback will raise confidence and improve batting in the second innings.

    Hooray for bad light. Warne was looking tricky. What will they do when he retires?

    Mind you scheduling a test this late in the year is nuts.

    Maybe it was the night dance not the rain dance all us Englishmen were doing, we certainly had a good day of it light wise. Greatly helped us when bowling and then clearly when batting too.

    I just love the way both teams got pretty much equal runs after the first innings, and are left with the last day and 98 overs. It's basically come down to a one day match. And I'll be at school...

    I don't want to intrude, but this is the fifth test already - when is the real match going to begin?
