If it was anyone else I'd almost feel sorry for them.
If England knock the last 3 over for 60 should they enforce the follow on? I'm not sure, its still a good looking pitch.
Sympathy for the Aussies? No Chance
Personally wouldn't enforce f/o. Give the bowlers a rest in this heat

The day began with two Yorkies at the crease digging England out of the mire. It ended in similar style, with a nice little knock from Bell in the middle of it.
Am I right in saying that Bresnan would have top scored in the Australian innings, and has more runs combined in this match than Cook and Pietersen?

Can you get us out of the clag again Bell? It's your job to graft and be responsible while we just dick about.
We do what the great Aussie teams of the last 20 years did. When 1 or 2 or even 3 of the batsmen fail, others step up to the mark. KP, Captain Cook and Matty Prior will all have a decent knock at some point in the series.
That's what makes us the best batting side in world cricket right now.....

Some "interesting" use of bowling changes this session by Cook.
Bresnan makes the breakthrough, but only gets five overs. Swann takes a wicket in his second over and is immediately withdrawn from the attack.
Meanwhile, Anderson and Broad look as threatening as an Andrex puppy but continue to get the ball thrown in their direction.
Sounds like Khawaja got another Dharmasena special. Given out caught behind on the field, no evidence on hot spot or audio that he actually hit it, decision stands. If there's no evidence he hit it, then surely the only correct decision is not out?!
