England Vs Australia:
Ashes Test Match:
2nd Test:
Perth:
Sponsored by 3Mobile:
Live on Sky Sports:
Day 1:
Tea:
Australia: 175 All Out
England: 44/2
AJ Strauss: 18*
GP Thorpe: 4*
Autralia lead by 131 runs
England get off to a shakey start in their 1st innings as Gillespie grabs two wickets:
Australia's Ashes fightback begins here! They could have had four or five wickets in the 9 overs played before tea but have so far only managed to claim 2. The first chance came in the first over where Strauss edged one to keeper Gilchrist as he tried to drive through the covers, he was on his way untill he turned around and realised that he had been dropped by the normally reliant vice captain. He was thanking his lucky stars a few balls later as well as Glen McGrath put him on the backfoot and then induced another thin edge that didnt quite carry. The Aussies finally got the well deserved breakthrough after Trescothick had upped a gear and started playing his shots, a lovely slower ball that Tresco didnt pick popped out of the middle of the bat and looped up into the air and landed softly in the hands of Darren Lehmann.
Graham Thorpe finds the gap and drives one to the boundary before tea:
His second wicket came a few balls later as Vaughan tried to drive him back down the ground, It was captain Vs captain as the ball ended up going very square and hung in the air teasing Ponting who took a wonderfull diving catch at cover point to dismiss Vaughan for a very valuable duck, he had a lot of ground to cover but he scrambled across to his left and you can see that catch in the video highlights. Thorpe was the next man in and he has supported Strauss well enough by not getting himself out, Strauss has scored 18 from 35 balls, a subdued innings by his standards but a needed one, he really wants to make a big score and rescue England as another wicket at this point could be disaterous.

Shaky start by England. But I have enough faith in Thorpie and Tresco.

Live on Sky Sports:
Day 1:
Stumps:
Australia: 175 All Out
England: 162/9
A Flintoff: 14*
JM Anderson: 5*
Autralia lead by 13 runs
Five wicket McGrath shatters England dreams as its back to the drawing board for the boys:
Glenn McGrath has dealt Australia a get out of jail free card, do not pass 200 runs do not collect an easy win. England have shot themselves in the foot with a terrible yet unlucky display of batting when they looked like they wouls surely go on and lead the series 2-0. The Aussies permier bowlers had other thoughts though as McGrath and Gillespie took 5 and 3 wickets respectively. Strauss and Thorpe looked set to make big scores as they came out fighting after the tea break, they both played patient innings and tried to dig in and ride the assault wuolst claiming valuable runs, this worked up untill McGraths 7th over when he made the breakthrough, Strauss had previously clipped him down to fine leg and picked up 2 for hsi half century, he tried to do it again the next ball and it looked like it would happen, he made contact but only managed to deflect the ball onto his pads and then onto the stumps, bad luck for England, ecstacy for Australia, Graham Thorpe could't keep his cool and was ran out the very same over leaving two new batsmen at the crease.
Strauss batted patiently for another well played 50 shortly before the collapse:
After losing two quick wickets of estabalished batsmen it was back to square one, dig in and make some runs were the words from the coach and captain, no one was worried as Flintoff and Key shared a huge stand in the first test and were expected to do it again in Perth, cue a Glen Mcgrath onslaught, his second wicket came as he had Key trapped LBW for 1 trying to flick him down the leg side, his you miss it hit, wicket to wicket bowling was really troubling the right handers. Gillepsie got one to nip back at Geraint Jones, he thought he had dealt with it well, a slick glance to the leg side was in the bag untill the ball hit his pads and cliped leg stumpon the way through, he and Strauss had gone the exact same way. Giles hammered his first ball to the boundary, defended the second and cut a bouncer straight to gully, he was forced to walk for 4.
Strauss is bowled off his pads after trying to clip one down the leg side:
Harmison tried with all his might to stay in, he left almost everything and accumilated 4 runs before McGrath got the better of him too, a ball that nipped back into the batsman and got between bat and pad to uproot middle stump, a classic tailender delivery. Hoggard went the very next delivery for a golden duck, thin edging a wonderfull delivery to keeper Gilchrist who, after dropping Strauss early on took a simple catch to give McGrath his first 5 wicket aul of the series, He finished the day with figures of 14 overs, 2 maidens, 5/48. Gillespie also shone through with figures of 16 overs, 2 maidens, 3/68. Englands gameplan will be to get as many runs as possible tomorrow by keeping Flintoff on strike, Anderson will be leaving everything off the stumps and defending everything on them. They will look to wipe of the Aussies total, if they do that they can concentrate on bowling them out for another low score and concentrating more in their next innings instead of undoing all the good work put in by the fielders.
