    • Excellent finish to the day for the visitors. 140 runs in 35 overs in the final session. England are 444/5 and lead by 346. Australia started off well this morning, getting the openers out quickly, then followed it up with three quick ones again in the second session but Trott and Prior kept them at bay in the last. The openers and KP got half-centuries but Trott has stood tall and calm with a brilliant century. Prior got a reprieve early and he has made full use of it, reaching 75. All the bowlers tried hard in the first two sessions but they went flat in the third. Siddle was easily the best of the bowlers with 3 wickets and 2 catches, getting involved in all the dismissals. Three whole days left in this Test match and Australia are staring at a mountain in front of them. It will be interesting to see when do England declare tomorrow. That's it from us then! Thanks a lot for tuning in for the coverage of the game and looking forward for your company tomorrow for all the third day's play at 2330 GMT (Previous day) (0500 IST).

      And he scores runs on the last ball of the day. Overpitched wide outside off, Trott drives this through the covers and comes back for the second. That will be Stumps on Day 2.

      Good length delivery outside off, 133.4 kph, Prior works it behind square and by the time Hilfenhaus can come across, returns for the second. The throw comes in the direction of the square leg umpire and poor Aleem Dar has to duck out of the way.

      On the pads, Trott flicks this in the air but safe from the fielder inside the circle at midwicket for a single.

      There is that teaser outside off, Prior resists the temptation and leaves it alone. He then smiles.

      Hmmm...the landing gets closer and closer to the off stump and Prior lets it go.
    • 133.4
      M Johnson to Prior

      Wide outside off, 140.7 kph, but close enough for the batsman to touch, who flashes and misses.

      M Johnson to Prior

      Wow.....miles miles miles wide outside off from around the wicket and Prior lets it go. Has a look at the umpire who does not signal anything. Dar now has a quiet word with Johnson with a smile. Probably, he might have been saying, I am letting you off this time mate.....

    • Mitch and Siddle get together for a chat and Prior takes the time off to do some gardening on the pitch.

      Full outside off, hint of reverse swing, some initial foot movement from Trott but in the end, he plays it from his crease.

      FOUR! GLORIOUS! Ohh...Matt Prior is really enjoying this innings here. He has raced to 70. Full outside off, Prior leans into this one and drives this beautifully through the covers! No one bothers chasing. 150-stand up between these two!

      MIS-FIELD! FOUR! Probably the first real blemish in the field for Australia today. Short on middle, pulled away to midwicket, a tired Hilfenhaus slides to his left but cannot stop the ball! Mitch is frustrated.

      They don't cheer for this one! Sharp short delivery outside off, 140.9 kph, Trott looks to fend and gets beaten!

      Wayward delivery down the leg side, short, Trott ducks. The crowd cheer for some reason. Not sure why.

      Looks to work it off his pads but misses and the ball rolls off his pads and they sneak a LEG-BYE.
