Get fit soon Simon Jones!

Hopefully England will still be attacking and go for the win rather than defend to try and get a draw, I think they're more likely to succeed this way.

Doh! Tait struck and took a wicket. Eek! Now its really going to go down to the wire...

I've never really had much confidence in Jones, no consistancy whatsoever.
Giles has shown he can bat a bit so hopefully these two can drag the time on a bit..

I quite like Jones, though I agree he can be a little inconsistent. For somebody who is batting so far down the order though I think he's made some decent innings (some great ones with Flintoff). I'm really hoping that Pietersen can hold on for a century though - would be excellent for him.

Going back to Jones though, he looks pretty good next to Bell...

There he goes - 102 not out!

Barmy Army! Barmy Army!

Absolutely! Imagine what would have happened though if Pietersen had been given out on that first ball... as it is, it looks like England will win the Ashes back, barring an instant bowling miracle followed by almost six runs an over.

*shakes fist angrily in direction of Pieterson*

In... The... Bag.

so it seems. :s

Let's let them have a bat. Might have a chance of making it 3-1 as they will be trying for 6's.
