    Dunno Ben, 112-0 is a strong come back.

    Looking like a draw to me. Don't know what the weather is for today.

    It can last five days. This is the fifth of five 5 day tests. Australia are now 277-2. England are only on 373 so barring a batting collapse Australia are looking really good.

    If England can slow things down and get some bad weather they could salvage a draw, which would be enough since they lead the series 2-1 due to a previous draw.

    If these series ends 2-2 Australia retain the title as holders.

    I used to feel the same way. I wish I had cable to watch the matches. A fun way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

    And it takes 3 1/2 hours to play 60 minutes?
    And you don't need to touch the ball down to get a touchdown?

    The last day should be exciting. All England need to do is to protect the wicket for a few hours and it should be over with a draw, which is all they need to law claim to the Ashes!

    Flintoff is gone for eight runs - 126-5 lead of 132 runs. Interesting afternoon ahead.

    Plenty of time for Australia to bat.

    Its over Matt!!

    325-8 (331 lead) - only 24 overs left. They would need 14 an over to catch up even if England went out now.

    Congrats to the English!!!
