    All happening.

    "I don't know why Shane Watson is walking off shaking his head. He's wasted a review for his team. As we saw yesterday they are crucial. Unless you're sure it's a howler or a stinker from the umpire you can't review it. If he inside-edged it then fair enough - but he didn't. Reviews can be the difference between winning and losing."

    Shane Watson has now been dismissed lbw 22 times in Test Match cricket - that accounts for 29.33% of all his dismissals. For players who have been dismissed 70 times in Test cricket, only Darren Ganga has been out lbw more often than Shane Watson.

    We need a couple of quick wickets and this all turns again.

    A bit overcast at Trent Bridge, I hope the weather isn't going to save the Aussies.

    To be fair the overcast conditions will make it more difficult to bat and should help England win.

    Be a slow start you'd imagine, heavy roller deadening the pitch. But then it will be difficult to get it away. England should be trying to catch them cold, but more than anything dry up the runs to frustrate. Finn needs to stick to those lines of his good spell yesterday rather those long hops he sometimes serves up. Overhead conditions but warm would suggest Jimmy will be a handful early doors, dead pitch or not!

    Bell deserves a big pat on the back for me.

    Anderson is on his way to the dressing room, flexing his leg. England can't call on their gun bowler.

    Eng need one wicket, Aus need 29 runs, and now Swann is leaving the field.

    Hope the pygmies in the crowd aren't shooting poison darts at them.

    1323: DROPPED CATCH - Aus 289-9 (22 runs needed)

    Has Steven Finn just dropped this Test match? Shades of Simon Jones at Edgbaston in 2005. It's a wonderful effort, diving full length as Haddin sweeps. He's around the boundary, but the ball is through his hands and away for four. What else can happen?

    Oh boy, the luck seems to be with the Aussies.

    Broad doing the work of a blacksmith on his left boot, but he can't delay the lunch break. We're going to have another over.
