England lead 1-0.
The tip is for a draw because the weather is inclement. And neither side can really bowl the other out in any quick time (Flintoff heroics aside).
Australia have dropped Phillip Hughes for Shane Watson. The man everybody loves to hate is not certain to open but is certain to a) sledge the bloody Poms who have been getting a bit lippy of late and b) get injured at some point during the series. Watson has been in ferocious batting form of late though and unlike Hughes is an excellent player of the short ball.
Word is that we are keeping the same bowling attack. So no Stuart Clark.
The Poms have recalled Ian "Sherminator" Bell who Australia does not rate to replace KP (who we rate very highly).
7 hoursish till match time.
