Wicket No.7:Blackham tries to drive the ball on the off side but the inside edge is carried to Barlow at silly point off Peate.
Wicket No.8:Palmer is snapped off at Mid-Off by Ulyett off Emmett
Australia are 8 down for 70.Still 21 more to get.Horan holding one end up.But he does need support from the other end as well.Thats lunch on Day2.
Australian, led by Horan, ably assisted by Boyle inch closer to victory. They are just a shot away. Horan tries to end it all. He goes for a big hit, misses and is duly stumped. That’s a big blow to Australia.Two runs to get ,1 wicket standing.Everybody is on edge of their seats.It is right down to the wire now.
Its all over the next ball as Copper is adjudged legbefore to Peate and England win by 2 runs.
People rush on to ground and the players run for their safety.Here's an artists impression of the end of the play.
