It didn't take long for Michael Clarke to get out. Sajid Mahmood banged 1 in possibly an effort ball and it came off the crack in the M.C.G wicket. Michael Clarke slow to react timed his hook late. It went miles in the air and was eventually caught by Paul Collingwood. Australia collapsing under pressure now. It's Symonds and the tail
Clarke walks back to the pavilion very dissapointed

AUSTRALIA NEED 197 RUNS TO WIN WITH 5 WICKETS IN HAND AT 5.94 RUNS AN OVER
After a 37-run patnership off 57 deliveries, Andrew Symonds main support was out. Andrew Flintoff made a wise decision to bring Monty Panesar into the attack after a tired-out Sajid Mahmood bowling 7 overs on the trott. However, in his 4th over he flight 1 more than expected and Brad Hogg fell into the trap and was stumped out by a yard! England are on the brink of victory!!
Just out!!
Brad Hogg going for a well-played 17 off 29 deliveries.

AUSTRALIA NEED 165 RUNS TO WIN WITH 4 WICKETS IN HAND AT 7.17 Runs Per Over
I felt that Aussies wud have been all out by 150.. Brilliant fight back.. but a wicket here wud shatter the hopes of Aussies especially Symonds as he can turn the game anyways with his big sixes!
Australia now need 25 off the last 2 overs!!! After been 69/5 in 16 Overs, England had the match won, but amazingly Andrew Symonds and Brett Lee have shared a 134 run-partnership to bring it to this.
Symonds risked a single under pressure bit was obviously out. He wasn't even the frame!
AUSTRALIA NEED 25 OFF 12 DELIVERIES!!! BRETT LEE IS THERE ON 70(71)!!
Sajid Mahmood has now clean bowled Brett Lee for 77(74) First Ball: SIX!! Straight down the ground.
Second Ball: Single down to mid-on
Third Ball: FOUR!!! Bracken spits extra cover and mid-off.
Fourth Ball: Single down the ground
Fifth Ball: Gone!!! Beautiful yorker by Sajid Mahmood. Lee playing all over it.
Sixth Ball: Wide over shoulder-height
Seventh Ball: Single Down to mid-on
Lee goes!!!
AUSTRALIA NEED 12 OFF THE LAST OVER, WITH 2 WICKETS IN-HAND. FLINTOFF WILL BOWL THE LAST OF HIS ALLOTTED OVERS!
