5 Overs: Plenty of excitement already as Gillespie struck first blood for Australia when he clean bowled Solanki for 0, ball pitched on middle and moved away slightly to beat his on drive. Trescothick and Vaughan started cautiously but then played some beautiful strokes (Tresco's on drive shot of the innings so far) to make sure they don't fall too much behind the asking rate. England 23 for 1.

10 Overs: Trescothick and Vaughan doing a fine job as England are off to a solid start. Trescothick's dream run continues as he is looking in fine touch once again. The momentum has changed a bit towards England last 5 overs, Ponting looking for a breakthrough now. England 53 for 1.

15 Overs: Ponting got the breakthrough he needed as Kasprowicz struck in his first over. After a smashing cut for 4 off very first ball, Vaughan (22 off 23) was deceived by a slower one and edged to Gilchrist who took a fine diving catch. Trescothick meanwhile continued piling runs as he reached his 50 of 57 balls. England 74 for 2.

20 Overs: Strauss and Trescothick are looking to rebuild the innings. Some problems for Ponting as Hogg proved expensive in his first 2 overs, hero of last match Symonds to have a bowl. Important stage of the match coming up as Australians looking for a wicket while England would like these two to continue. England 105 for 2.

Hmmm.... game heading for another thriller by the looks of it.

I am sure Aussies are going to pull over this match... one more wicket at this stage and England will be in a disarray.
Punter should get back his best bowler at this stage to get wickets now itself rather allowing the englishmen to accumulate runs. Hogg has already proven expensive.

25 Overs: (Drinks break) England are slowly but surely gaining the upper hand as this pair is looking more and more comfortable. Symonds started well and with Ponting getting Kasprowicz back there was some tension around. But Strauss who so far was struggling a bit and mainly prepared to give Trescothick the strike dramatically switched gears. Symonds was first driven and later swept for 4 in his 2nd over. But may be the turning point came in Kasprowicz's over when a leg side full length ball was smashed high in midwicket stand (to make matters worse it was a no ball!) and another welcome 4 came in the same over.
So big decision time for Ponting, for England still a fair way to go and it's important for these two to stay there. One can feel this may well be deciding phase of this cracking final match. We will be back after this short break. England 142 for 2.

138 runs off 25 overs and with 8 wickets to spare, I have now pretty much given up although still good enough runs to go. At this point of time England is in the driving seat unless of course they end up batting badly in the death like Australia.
