It will be available as soon as Pietersen completes the unfinished 80th over of the innings.
I don't think the decision to bat on will harm us. We scored those extra runs so quickly, and had we declared on the overnight score the Aussies would already be close to making us bat again. As it is they need another 130 or so and we still have a chance to win by an innings.
I assume there will be another early start tomorrow to make up for lost time?
