They did the first (barely) but I think they're still looking under the couch for their 500+.

That was some collapse today. Very good bowling performance from the Aussies, it'll be hard to see them losing the match from here.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope that we bat the day out and see what happens from there.

Clarke and Warner getting down to business.

I guess they going for it as there is some rain about over the next few days. This session is extended by 15 mins too

I guess you don't need to bat the entire day if you're scoring at five runs an over.

I feel this will be wrapped up today. What an amazing turnaround. Good to see some intense displays from Australia and credit to Broad and Cook. They have shown some fight.

Wow that was awesome and entertaining, Clarke was unlucky to have the mike on at that exact time, I am sure Anderson had a bit to say during the game as well. 1-0 only though, still not close to being over yet.

get ready for a fuckin' broken arm!

johnson was amazing. i've always been a fan of his and i'm glad he silenced all the naysayers in this game.

That was some intense cricket. Sets this series up nicely. Adelaide is the best chance for Eng to claw back. It could be all over by Perth.

But I expect Swann to play a huge part in Adelaide plus one of the eng batsmen will get a huge score. My guess is a draw in Adelaide then an Aussie win in Perth.

absurd that clarke got charged.

Channel 9 should pay that, he got fined by the ICC (the indian board) because the mike was turned up then, ridiculous is right. Umpires and match referee did not charge Clarke.

2nd Test tomorrow!

here we go, gang!

Going alright so far.

Very flat wicket. This may be a draw.

I think it's fantastic that they keep dropping catches. That will do wonders for their confidence as fielding unit.

Now if we can make them bowl for another two sessions tomorrow, we'll be in the driver's seat.

True. Here is my new bad sports blog on cricket so far

This is going rather well so far.

Slowly getting out of reach. Or at least getting into an un-losable position.
