    Think we are going to lose this. Just hope Anderson comes up with goods after lunch.

    Oh ye of little faith.

    Just one more. Hopefully Jimmy can freshen up and manage one spell. He looked injured though and only came back on so he would be able to bowl. Normally you'd fancy this situ but for once I'm feeling a little negative and thinking this might go the other way

    Former England captain Michael Vaughan, BBC Test Match Special.

    "We need to get the basics right. We need to get our two best bowlers on. I'd go seam both ends as Graeme Swann has struggled. I'd go Anderson from one and Broad from the other. 20 runs are still a mile away for Australia. We need to cover the boundaries and get as many balls as they can. If they bowl straight they will get a chance."

    Aus 296-9 (need 15 to win)

    Nails chewed in the crowd, every fan leaning forward, the edge of the edge of the seat. Strains of songs, but mostly silence. Haddin works to leg, past the desperate Alastair Cook. A single to keep the strike. Haddin has 71, what an innings.

    UMPIRE REVIEW - Aus 296-9

    Got him! Have England won? Has Haddin edged this? An appeal for a catch behind, but Aleem Dar not interested. England not sure, but we'll have a review. Can you stand the tension...

    UMPIRE REVIEW

    There's a HotSpot mark on the bat. The tiniest white mark. Remember, Haddin was given not out. Can it be overturned?

    WICKET - ENGLAND WIN BY 14 RUNS.

    England have won! England have won by 14 runs! A remarkable match ends in DRS controversy. Aleem Dar crosses hands over his chest then raises the finger. England sprint to Anderson in celebration, Brad Haddin is distraught. What an amazing way for this unbelievable Test match to end.

    Anything like this up here and it's going to be well worth the £80 for a ticket.

    Get in there. Too close for comfort. That was more nerve jangling than watching us last season <yikes>

    I see Kinnear has worked his magic.

    Don't think I've ever seen a test match with so many twits. Both teams looked out of it on several occasions. Bookies must have cleaned up on he in play!
