Jones Back In The Wickets
After struggling with a knee injury sinse the last Ashes series and with vitually no cricket behind him, Simon Jones has gotten rid of Damien Martyn after bowling just 3 overs! 3 economical overs i might add, just 5 runs comming from it. Although Mike Hussey is still going well on 42 and looking a class act England wont be too disheartened because the batsmen at the other end are making mistakes. If they can get Hussey then they will be well on their way. Martyn met his end trying to hook Simon Jones past square leg, he was never really commited to the shot which is why, instead of the ball bouncing to high and it going over the keeper for four, it went off the bat, straight to Andrew Flintoff who took a good catch low down in front of him. Jones looked ecstatic and Martyn looked on in disbelief, the Aussies are crumbling under the pressure!

GBH Does The Trick
Steve Harmison had gotten rid of the dangerman after a masterclass in working over a batsman. Harmisons last over was magnificent. His first ball swung in and then seamed away, just missing the outside edge, his second ball swung away and then nipped back in just missing the top of off stump after getting through the bat and pad barrier. He followed these two up with 2 wonderfull short balls, throat high which rapped Hussey on the glove and then the grill sending him to the floor. Then a half paced yorker which almost caught Hussey out. Then the wicket, a full paced short ball which Hussey, short on confidence now, tried to hook, he only suceeded in top edging it high into the sky and down to Andrew Flintoff, who has taken a wicket and two catches in three wickets, down at fine leg. Before getting out he reached his half century at a respectable rate, he scored a fair few of his runs in boundaries and if he had gone on to 70 you feel that he will get a century, it is going to be interesting to see if he is selected for the first test after a good showing here!
