Australia in trouble on day 3


England are right on top in this match after they managed to pick up three Australian wickets in the 1st session on day 3. After a mammoth total of 521 runs in the first innings, England did well to pick up three wickets to put the pressure on Australia. England seamers bowled well in the morning session with Hoggard and Broad bowling a good opening spell sending both the openers back to the pavilion and then Flintoff got the important wicket of Hussey just before lunch. First to depart was J.Langer who was completely deceived by an inswinger by M.Hoggard. Hoggard bowled brilliantly this morning and he was consistently bowling on the offstump trying to bring the ball back in the left hander. Langer tried to drive an inswinger from Hoggard which completely deceived him and he was trapped plumb in front. It was looking as if Steve Bucknor was ruling the decision in the favor of the batsman but he took his time and gave the correct decision and judged Langer lbw off the bowling of Hoggard. England got an important breakthrough this morning and this is the third time in three innings that Hoggard good the wicket of J.Langer.

The fall of the first wicket brought the Australian captain Ricky Ponting out in the middle. Ponting who batted brilliantly in the first test will be looking to score a big knock here and put Australia in a good position in this match.

Broad strikes
But Australia were on the backfoot as another wicket fell quickly and that too of M.Hayden. Hayden who didn't look in a good tough in this innings was struggling to score runs. Finally he edged one to 2nd slip where Flintoff took a good catch diving to his natural side and Stuart Broad picked up his maiden test wicket. The dangerous M.Hayden scored just 10 runs facing 31 balls and now Australia were in a spot of bother as M.Hussey joins Ricky Ponting out there in the middle.

Australia on the attack
England were bowling nicely this morning with both Broad and Hoggard troubling the in form Aussie batsmen. But suddenly Australia were on the attach but they were lucky not to lose wickets in the process to score runs quickly. Hussey was lucky as he edged one which went over the first slip for four runs that was when both Hussey and Ponting decided to go after the bowling which will disturb the rhythm of the Australian bowlers. Both Hussey and Ponting were scoring in boundaries but Hussey was attacking more than Ponting as he smashed Monty Panesar for a huge six over long-off.

Flintoff strikes just before lunch
Just before the lunch break, A.Flintoff got the important wicket of M.Hussey who was looking in good tough. Hussey went for the cover drive but he failed to keep that down and in the end he gave a simple catch to M.Vaughan who was standing at short extra cover region. Australia are in trouble at the moment after they lost 3 big wickets including their opening batsmen as A.Symonds comes in next. Australia need a partnership at this stage to get things under control. At lunch on day 3, Australia have scored 86 runs of the loss of 3 wicket.
