00:00:00Well fielded, almost a mix-up running between the wickets.
00:00:11Steven Waugh in the gully, quite deep there.
00:00:13There's a thick edge.
00:00:15Mark Butcher and Atherton was off.
00:00:17Yes, very well fielded.
00:00:19There's the slip cordon.
00:00:20And the most extreme right-hand fieldsman in that slip cordon is Steve Waugh.
00:00:25He's in the gully.
00:00:28It's going to be Damian Fleming to take the new ball.
00:00:32Oh, beautiful. He's gone.
00:00:34He's gone. Beautiful delivery.
00:00:36The outswinger to the left-hander.
00:00:38And Butcher's gone for a duck.
00:00:39And it's one for two.
00:00:40Fleming striking early.
00:00:42Yes, a replay on this one will be interesting.
00:00:45I think it probably started to swing in and then went away.
00:00:47This is the movement Mark Taylor was talking about when he decided to put them in.
00:00:52A beautiful delivery.
00:00:53There's not much you can do about these.
00:00:55It's pretty full.
00:00:56I think it started to come in.
00:00:58Yeah, it did.
00:00:59And then it just went away off the seam.
00:01:00A beautiful ball.
00:01:01You don't get many better than that.
00:01:02Nicely taken by Healy.
00:01:04Well, what a good start.
00:01:06So Butcher, who played so well up at the Gabba, is out.
00:01:11And unfortunately, he's accompanied by the duck.
00:01:16So England, one for two.
00:01:20Hassan Hussain at number three, taking guard from umpire Daryl Harper,
00:01:23officiating his first Test match.
00:01:25He's got a decision right early on.
00:01:27Daryl Harper, that was a genuine nick through to Healy.
00:01:30Hussain, who played beautifully, I thought, in the first innings at the Gabba.
00:01:33Some fine stroke play.
00:01:36It's gone for it.
00:01:37Good shot.
00:01:40Fleming with a fine leg.
00:01:44Yes, well, um, the ball here is going to bounce very high.
00:01:48Hussain and the other hookers in this England side.
00:01:51Trying to make sure they pick the right one.
00:01:57Well, edged on the ground.
00:01:58Didn't carry.
00:01:59Well taken by Ponting on the bounce.
00:02:02Good line.
00:02:04Yes, and it wasn't badly played either.
00:02:06Very angled bat.
00:02:07And it did go down.
00:02:12It's gone this time.
00:02:13That's beautiful bowling.
00:02:14And it's two for four.
00:02:16Yes, that's 12 times he's got him out now.
00:02:18He really is making things tough for the ex-England captain.
00:02:21Beautiful bowling by Glenn McGrath.
00:02:24The ball before was a lovely ball.
00:02:27It went along the ground.
00:02:28A little shake of the head there from him.
00:02:30Be interesting to see what his bat does here.
00:02:32Does his bat come across the line?
00:02:34That's what happened in Brisbane.
00:02:36Not really.
00:02:37It was a good delivery again.
00:02:39It's just a little wide.
00:02:40So look at the celebration.
00:02:41McGrath, as happy as a bee.
00:02:44Two for four.
00:02:47Captain Alec Stewart under enormous pressure.
00:02:49Failed twice at Gabba and he comes in at two for four.
00:02:53McGrath picking up Michael Atherton again.
00:02:56Good genuine edge.
00:02:57Fleming continues.
00:03:03Stewart also a very aggressive player.
00:03:05Probably the two most aggressive batsmen in the England line-up.
00:03:08At the moment.
00:03:13Get back for a four-hole run.
00:03:25Now on at mid-on.
00:03:36This is the type of aggression needed by England.
00:03:44Beautiful kick.
00:03:50That's why these two players are the most dangerous for England.
00:03:53They might be beaten occasionally.
00:03:55But if you bowl something loose, they'll put it away.
00:04:05And there we go again.
00:04:07Pitching short.
00:04:08Getting Assane onto the backcourt.
00:04:10And then the perfect length delivery finds the edge.
00:04:13Ian Healy's having a ball here.
00:04:16Couldn't be better.
00:04:17Three out of three for Healy.
00:04:19And in a sense, they've all been straightforward.
00:04:22Although that first one we showed you turned out to be a bit difficult at the end.
00:04:26But McGrath has two, Fleming one.
00:04:28And it's all to do with swing and a little bit of movement.
00:04:31Just left him a fraction in the air.
00:04:33And then kept on going off the seam.
00:04:35Healy didn't bother. It was such a loud nick.
00:04:38You could almost hear it through the glass here.
00:04:41Three for ninety.
00:04:44Mark Rampakash comes in in the number five slot in this test match.
00:04:48Having played at number six in Brisbane.
00:04:58Good start for Rampakash.
00:05:03Ben McGrath with two wickets.
00:05:05He's moved to one eighty-seven test wickets.
00:05:08Fifty-one of them against England.
00:05:10That puts him now in tenth spot on the Australian list of all-time wicket takers.
00:05:18Just wide of the fourth slip.
00:05:23Diving effort there.
00:05:27Michael Slater's at fourth, maybe even fifth slip.
00:05:30But even with the dive, he couldn't quite reach it.
00:05:39And on the helmet.
00:05:44Doesn't do you a lot of good.
00:05:47I don't think he lost sight of it.
00:05:49I think he probably thought it was going to bounce over the top of his helmet.
00:05:54He could finish up a bit shaken there.
00:06:01There's some blood on his shirt.
00:06:05So, looks as though it's got him on the chin.
00:06:15Well, that's well played. Lovely shot straight down the ground.
00:06:17Well, that's the first really confident drive we've seen straight.
00:06:22And Stewart looks as if he's beginning to get just a little bit more comfortable.
00:06:31Oh, and he's got that one away.
00:06:34Wide of Meadon. A little unorthodox, but he's hit it pretty well.
00:06:37And it's gone all the way to the fence.
00:06:40McGrath giving him a big glare.
00:06:42Not too happy about that. I think he probably thinks he was a little lucky.
00:06:48On the leg side, off the glove, I think, and that'll go for four.
00:06:5214 runs of that over, and that may well be the end of Glenn McGrath's spell.
00:06:56And it has been a good one, no doubt about that.
00:06:59Figures of two for 20, and it's now three for 50.
00:07:03And so it's going to be Jason Gillespie now.
00:07:08That's well played too.
00:07:09Lift up and nicely driven down the ground. It's a fast outfield, this one.
00:07:12They'll probably end up getting three.
00:07:15Fleming refuels them.
00:07:18Stewart on strike there, and McGrath has had a long chat with his captain.
00:07:27He's bowled him, he's bowled him. That's well bowled.
00:07:29That one must have just nipped back a little bit.
00:07:31Stewart was a little tentative pushing forward.
00:07:34I think the inside edge probably hit the bat.
00:07:37The ball probably hit the bat.
00:07:38There was no pad there as a second line of defence, and that's a huge blow.
00:07:50Well, I think this is intelligent bowling.
00:07:52He's actually kept the ball up.
00:07:55He's got this just to come back.
00:07:56Just a little movement there, and Alex Stewart doesn't have a problem.
00:08:01He gets in, he doesn't get that foot out there far enough,
00:08:04and he does get caught with the ball that nips back.
00:08:07It's well bowled though.
00:08:08Glenn McGrath, Alex Stewart was starting to look good.
00:08:11Alex Stewart's gone for 38, England now 4 for 62.
00:08:18Crawley's the new batsman.
00:08:21Oh, and that one whistles past his nose.
00:08:23Good morning, Mr. Crawley.
00:08:26Oh, what a quick delivery that was.
00:08:34Fine shot. Half-bowled. He punched straight down the ground.
00:08:37Now for Cash with an opportunity to establish himself here if he makes a big score.
00:08:44Good save. They should run four. Crawley comes back.
00:08:48That's good running.
00:08:53A wonderful start to the second test match here at the Wacker.
00:08:56The Australians, after winning the toss, have England 4 for 70
00:08:59as Colin Miller comes into the attack from the members' end.
00:09:05Oh, just short and wide of Warren McGully.
00:09:09He's been a little bit lazy in that region.
00:09:12Crawley just throwing the bat, not quite covering the line.
00:09:15Not a genuine square cut.
00:09:22He's gone. Caught a second slip.
00:09:24Genuine edge. There's always something back there, Crawley.
00:09:27Crushing outside the outside.
00:09:29This is not the most successful ground for him.
00:09:31An outside edge. No foot movement at all until after the ball has been touched.
00:09:41And it's 5 for 74.
00:09:49He's gone. Yes, he's gone. It's 6 for 74.
00:09:53A duck for Hick. The rest of him gets two.
00:09:58And there's plenty of pace in that delivery.
00:10:01But I have a feeling that Hick's footwork there was not precisely as it should have been
00:10:06to take him behind the ball.
00:10:09As though he was playing at it and the body came behind the ball
00:10:12after the edge was found and the ball went through to Healy.
00:10:15And the Australian wicketkeeper's having a nice time.
00:10:19Yes, he was nowhere near it was. He didn't cover off stump.
00:10:23Beautiful line by Wiglesby. Wonderful comeback by him.
00:10:26He's got 2 for 17.
00:10:28And England are in real strife on the first morning.
00:10:30He's gone for a duck.
00:10:32The second of the innings.
00:10:34England reeling at 6 for 74.
00:10:37Dominic Cork.
00:10:39He played well in the second innings for 21 not out.
00:10:49Cork off the mark.
00:10:57Edged and Mark Taylor gets the catch on this occasion.
00:11:01Damien Fleming has got his second victim.
00:11:05He's well bowled.
00:11:07Exactly the right place to bowl.
00:11:09Ball swinging away just a little bit. Just short of a length.
00:11:12And by Taylor's standards, it's a pretty straightforward catch.
00:11:15Pretty thick edge.
00:11:17And it carried quite easily.
00:11:19Just watch it again. See if you can pick up the swing here.
00:11:22Just a little bit high on the bat actually.
00:11:24And well, have a look at that.
00:11:27No trouble at all.
00:11:29And another one to Fleming.
00:11:31England now really are in trouble.
00:11:33More trouble. 7 for 81.
00:11:36Making his test debut.
00:11:38Alex Tudor gets good reception here at the Wacker Ground.
00:11:41But it's not a pretty sight, the scoreboard, as he walks out.
00:11:48That's a nice shot.
00:11:51No one at mid-on, so he should be able to stroll 3.
00:12:02Just give us that again.
00:12:05Mark Taylor, good catch.
00:12:08150 catches for Mark Taylor in Test Cricket.
00:12:11That was a good one. Up above the head.
00:12:14Good delivery from Fleming. Bounced a little bit and just moved away.
00:12:18Certainly was.
00:12:20And it's brought about the end of Ramprakash.
00:12:23The rest of the batsmen in this line-up.
00:12:26What a good catch it was. It was flying in the direction of Taylor.
00:12:29Just watch it go. Hits high on the bat.
00:12:31And flies away. Up he goes.
00:12:33Didn't have to get off the ground, but two hands beautifully caught.
00:12:37He really is a good slip fieldsman.
00:12:39And that's a very happy Fleming too.
00:12:41Congratulations from the captain.
00:12:44Mark Ramprakash out for 26, 8 for 90.
00:12:48Darren Gough, the new batsman for England.
00:12:51The Australians really have exploited this weakness outside off stump.
00:12:59That roar in the background signals the 100 up for England.
00:13:088 down at the moment. That's a signal from Alex Tudor.
00:13:19He did well to get there.
00:13:30Ah, no problem.
00:13:34Now that is the equal of the catch Taylor took earlier.
00:13:39They are very difficult.
00:13:41They're coming out of the grandstand for a start.
00:13:44And as Ian Chappell pointed out, you've got nothing there like the palm of the hand to stop it going through.
00:13:50It's only fingers. Darren Gough is the man gone.
00:13:52It was a good catch and well bowled by Fleming.
00:13:55A few probing out there and around that area.
00:13:58And that goes quickly.
00:14:00Mark Taylor, I think, probably had a little more time with that one than Mark Taylor took.
00:14:04Because it was a slightly thicker edge.
00:14:07A little bit of a pace off it, I think, there.
00:14:09But Darren Gough is gone.
00:14:11Well caught by Mark Waugh.
00:14:12Bowling of Fleming for 11.
00:14:14It's now 9 for 108.
00:14:17Alamilali, the last man.
00:14:21He needed more for his bowling and his batting in this particular part of the match.
00:14:36That's it.
00:14:37Fleming has five for the first time in a Test match.
00:14:40Five for 46.
00:14:41Here he has taken another catch.
00:14:43Five for him.
00:14:44Two wickets to Gillespie and three to McGrath.
00:14:48And England all out for 112.
00:14:52That's a fine performance from the Australians.
00:14:58It's well bowled.
00:14:59That's close.
00:15:00Swings in late.
00:15:01That's putting the umpire under pressure.
00:15:03Umpire Darrell Harper on debut.
00:15:05That's beautifully bowled.
00:15:06Good afternoon, Simon.
00:15:08Good afternoon, Bill.
00:15:09Good afternoon, all.
00:15:12It's a lovely delivery here for starters.
00:15:14Darren Gough is an important cog in this English wheel.
00:15:17That was spot on.
00:15:21Gets it badly there on the leg stump.
00:15:23He picks him off beautifully, this tailer.
00:15:27Mulally.
00:15:28He's had a kick-up three, so the skip was off the mark.
00:15:33So Cork continuing.
00:15:37Side-up.
00:15:38Drives beautifully.
00:15:44It's a lovely way to get off the mark.
00:15:47It's a great place to bat here at the Wacker,
00:15:49as long as you play straight.
00:15:55In the air and into the gap.
00:15:58Yes, well, three slips in that fifth slip.
00:16:04Leaving a gap there, and that one went to a catchable height.
00:16:11Well played.
00:16:12Right off the middle of the bat.
00:16:13And that's really quick down there.
00:16:14That's a beautiful shot, Slater.
00:16:20In the air.
00:16:21And, oh, he's dropped it.
00:16:23I tell you what, did well to get there.
00:16:25That is a good effort.
00:16:26Again, going a long way to the left of the very square gully.
00:16:30And it looked as if he got a left hand on that one,
00:16:34and it popped right out.
00:16:35Ben Holyoak's out there as sub.
00:16:38Alex Tudor playing his debut for England.
00:16:43Oh, a ball.
00:16:45Oh, and that was quick.
00:16:47Bounced back at Taylor.
00:16:56Obviously played and into the gap again.
00:16:58And that'll go all the way down to the boundary.
00:17:02Off the edge.
00:17:03Six runs off Tudor's first over.
00:17:05Australia move to no wicket for 33.
00:17:08And Alan Mullally is the bowler,
00:17:10coming in from the member's end.
00:17:14It's defined as Taylor.
00:17:16Ball runs off the over.
00:17:20It's none for 44.
00:17:26It's whipped away.
00:17:28Down the hill.
00:17:30Moving up to 50.
00:17:31Without loss, a great start.
00:17:36When you look at a total of
00:17:39112 on the board for England,
00:17:42Australia bring up their half century without loss.
00:17:46There'll be some depressed Englishmen
00:17:48in the middle of the wacker.
00:17:52No ball.
00:17:53Crashes through the sip cordon.
00:17:55It's all happening for the Australians.
00:17:56They're on the move here at the wacker.
00:18:0015 off the over so far.
00:18:03No ball called.
00:18:04Slater went for it.
00:18:05Got plenty of bat on it as well.
00:18:08It's a good comeback.
00:18:09Got him.
00:18:10Inside edge.
00:18:11Off the thigh pad, says the umpire.
00:18:14Over.
00:18:15Lower up.
00:18:16Interesting over.
00:18:17It's none for 59.
00:18:20Certainly no thigh pad.
00:18:22Maybe Slater hit the pads with his bat.
00:18:26It's time.
00:18:27It's pulled away nicely.
00:18:29Mark Taylor, when he's playing the push-up like that,
00:18:31is in very good touch.
00:18:33Darren Goff now.
00:18:34Come on at the river end.
00:18:35That's the end nearest to our commentary box.
00:18:37Two ends here, members.
00:18:39And river end.
00:18:45He played at that one.
00:18:46He's got four runs.
00:18:47I don't think Darren Goff's going to be absolutely
00:18:49overjoyed about that.
00:18:57None for 74.
00:18:5834 to Taylor and 30 to Slater.
00:19:01Dominic Cork comes through.
00:19:02Slater.
00:19:03Dominic Cork comes on now in place of Alan Mullally.
00:19:11That's a cracking stroke.
00:19:15Straight out there through mid-wicket.
00:19:17Beating the field.
00:19:19And Cork, who's bowled quite a decent over up to that point,
00:19:22has paid the penalty of being a little full on Lake Stump.
00:19:30And this time.
00:19:32Darren Goff has won.
00:19:36Catch taken at slip.
00:19:38Slater, the ball finding the outside edge.
00:19:42And it's probably about time he had a bit of luck.
00:19:46He has had some, but most of it's been bad so far.
00:19:51Yes, that is a well-deserved wicket.
00:19:53Just a little bit of movement off the pitch.
00:19:56And very similar to a lot of the English dismissals there.
00:20:00Mark Butcher at third slip, taking a comfortable catch.
00:20:03And a sigh of relief from Darren Goff.
00:20:06Slater is gone.
00:20:09That's one for 81.
00:20:11Justin Langer is the new batsman, local player.
00:20:15And a very strong cricketer at Sheffield Shield level
00:20:18who's forced his way back into the Australian side.
00:20:29Would you believe it?
00:20:31I'm not sure that Darren Goff can.
00:20:41That one's a bit short and
00:20:42it's quite nicely played away to the onside actually.
00:20:44The ball rolls down that hill very quickly.
00:20:47So that's a boundary.
00:20:49So that's the Australian card after 28 overs.
00:20:53Goff is going to continue.
00:20:55Oh, that's a good shot.
00:20:56Straight back down the ground.
00:20:59Well, that's as good a shot as we've seen all day.
00:21:01Lovely straight drive.
00:21:03Not many have been hit in that direction today.
00:21:06But that was beautifully executed.
00:21:09Beautiful evening at the Wacker and Firth.
00:21:11Australia well-placed at one for 100.
00:21:15Taylor gets away.
00:21:16That's well played.
00:21:17Too short.
00:21:18And a run down the hill with the breeze.
00:21:19That's four.
00:21:20Too short.
00:21:21And a run down the hill with the breeze.
00:21:22That's four.
00:21:24Dominic Cork's ball roll.
00:21:25But you can't be short to Taylor in this pitch.
00:21:27At that pace.
00:21:29Rampart gets to fall off spin.
00:21:30First time we're going to see spin in this Test match.
00:21:34Short.
00:21:35It's pulled away.
00:21:37It's not the start they need.
00:21:38If Maloney will do the chasing,
00:21:39but he won't get it.
00:21:43Well, Mark Taylor is a run machine, isn't he?
00:21:46Another 50 at Test level.
00:21:51Ranga sweeps.
00:21:53Could be out.
00:21:54Surely, yes.
00:21:55So good change by Stewart.
00:21:57Ranga attempting to sweep.
00:21:58Caught at short leg.
00:21:59That's the break that England needed.
00:22:01Crawley takes the catch.
00:22:07Jubilation for England.
00:22:10That young man will be very angry with himself.
00:22:13Possibly relaxed a little in the mind.
00:22:16But he's got it.
00:22:17Possibly relaxed a little in the mind.
00:22:20A recognised bowler.
00:22:21Mark Rampart catch a big edge.
00:22:24Everyone knew it was there.
00:22:25Justin Langer.
00:22:27He knew.
00:22:28It was time to go.
00:22:29Mark Rampart catch.
00:22:30His days improved.
00:22:32Crawley, the man that took the catch.
00:22:34He's playing now 2 for 1, 15.
00:22:37Mark Waugh.
00:22:38Comes to the crease at 2 for 1, half of 15.
00:22:45Lovely start.
00:22:47Great cut.
00:22:48Beautifully timed and placed.
00:22:52Ball runs.
00:22:53Mark Waugh.
00:22:54It's 2 for 1, half of 19.
00:23:01Nicely timed.
00:23:02That'll go all the way down the hill.
00:23:05Wearing for the drift.
00:23:06And just leaning into the cover drive.
00:23:07Mark Waugh.
00:23:09Tail on 53.
00:23:10The Rockets of Gibraltar.
00:23:17On forward.
00:23:18And he's hit it beautifully.
00:23:19That's a perfect push-up.
00:23:23We're seeing some nice strokes from him now.
00:23:25He's starting to release the shackles a little.
00:23:29He's often said, and it's in his mentality as a player.
00:23:33Gets a lot of enjoyment out of grafting runs.
00:23:35And he's done that most of his innings.
00:23:41Well bowled.
00:23:42And I think that might have been a nick.
00:23:43It is.
00:23:44Hawks fought hard for that wicket.
00:23:45And finally he's got Mark Taylor.
00:23:48Yes.
00:23:49So that's where he looked like getting him as well.
00:23:51The ball just starting to swing in.
00:23:53And then just holding up a little bit.
00:23:56And so that's a very encouraging wicket for England.
00:23:59Taylor beginning to look quite dangerous.
00:24:02He's got his score on 61.
00:24:03Let's see if we can pick up any movement here.
00:24:05Just started to come back a little bit.
00:24:07And then just held itself.
00:24:09And you can see it actually swung right at the end there.
00:24:11And the way keeper Stewart hang on to it just.
00:24:15Well, it's got a nice reaction from Cork.
00:24:17He needed that one.
00:24:18Three down for 138.
00:24:21The odd moment of England success.
00:24:23But one day gone.
00:24:25And Australia's command of the match seems total.
00:24:27They finished on 150 for three.
00:24:2938 runs ahead.
00:24:31Just three wickets gone.
00:24:32Let's get the England reaction.
00:24:33England manager Graham Gooch has been talking with Michael Peshard.
00:24:38Graham, a disappointing day for England.
00:24:41Yes, I'm afraid 112 is a disappointing score in a test match.
00:24:44Doesn't really put you in contention at all.
00:24:46And we've got a long haul from here.
00:24:48I thought the Australian bowlers this morning.
00:24:50After Mark Taylor won the toss and elected to bowl.
00:24:53He thought there was going to be a little bit in the wicket.
00:24:55I think that was right.
00:24:56The Australian bowlers put the ball in the right area.
00:24:58And our batsmen struggled to cope.
00:25:00There were some pretty awful shots though in there as well.
00:25:03Well, I think we've talked about, you know, this wicket is unique.
00:25:06Not only in Australia, but probably in world cricket.
00:25:08The ball carries and bounces through.
00:25:10And we've talked about, you know.
00:25:13The tactic to play here.
00:25:14What shots are dangerous shots and what are not.
00:25:16And I'm afraid, you know, one or two of our guys maybe.
00:25:20Didn't play as we'd have talked.
00:25:22But, you know, I'm not criticising anyone individually.
00:25:24But collectively as a unit, obviously we failed today.
00:25:27It must have been very frustrating for you to watch from the sidelines.
00:25:31Well, it's always more frustrating when you're in the backup.
00:25:34The support staff.
00:25:35You practice and you put everything into operation for preparation.
00:25:39The guys worked hard.
00:25:40And when it doesn't come to fruition, when you come onto the actual match.
00:25:43It is disappointing.
00:25:44It's quite frustrating.
00:25:45But, you know, I know how the guys feel.
00:25:47I've been there as well.
00:25:48We've got to try and somehow fight our way back into this game.
00:25:50Now, obviously the batting was disappointing.
00:25:52But equally disappointing was that...
00:25:54Highlights coming up.
00:25:55And we start in the second over.
00:25:57Australia have added one run to their total.
00:25:59And it's Tudor to Gillespie.
00:26:10That's well played by Gillespie.
00:26:17He's going to enjoy this.
00:26:18Back for the second.
00:26:19Normally night watchmen, when they get in.
00:26:23Get the opportunity to get in there.
00:26:25Some that just love doing this job.
00:26:27So Gough, 12 overs.
00:26:29One for 31.
00:26:30Continuing.
00:26:31Just short of second slip.
00:26:39Thick neck and it went down.
00:26:52That's well played.
00:26:53And he seemed to just come back a little bit.
00:26:56And he adjusted nicely.
00:27:02Alex Stewart making a change.
00:27:07It's going to be Alan Mullally.
00:27:09That's close.
00:27:12That's very close.
00:27:13You'd probably say it's too high.
00:27:15He didn't offer a shot.
00:27:16Umpire Harper.
00:27:17Cool.
00:27:18But my word, that was close.
00:27:23That's it.
00:27:24Finally.
00:27:25The edge.
00:27:26Mullally plays.
00:27:27The heavens.
00:27:29A good effort by Gillespie.
00:27:33That was good delivery.
00:27:34Look from this angle.
00:27:36Where we are.
00:27:37That it curved in.
00:27:38It was his inswinger.
00:27:40And then it just found enough to go away.
00:27:43To get the outside edge.
00:27:50Good delivery.
00:27:52Stewart took the catch.
00:27:55Gillespie's gone.
00:27:57And the fourth wicket is down for 165.
00:28:02Steven Waugh is the new batsman.
00:28:04He's out there because that delivery from Mullally.
00:28:08Good one it was.
00:28:09He just nipped back a little bit.
00:28:11And he closed the face in it.
00:28:12And it ended up.
00:28:19Steve Waugh's away.
00:28:22A couple up there.
00:28:25But pretty fine over from Alan Mullally.
00:28:28Four for 167.
00:28:31Steven Waugh's turn now to face Mullally.
00:28:35In the air and just wide a forward short leg.
00:28:37Who's been placed a little deeper there.
00:28:40Well there's a plan out there at the moment.
00:28:42And this young man is looking good.
00:28:44It's four for 170.
00:28:50Always blasted that one through the offside.
00:28:53Steve Waugh these days.
00:28:55He's certainly looking a little bit more aggressive.
00:28:58When he first goes into bat.
00:28:59And that's an example of it.
00:29:01Maybe onto the back foot there.
00:29:02And hit that well.
00:29:07Goff continuing.
00:29:09That's almost four.
00:29:10That's well knocked down by Hussain at points.
00:29:13Still be three.
00:29:14But that was a glorious stroke.
00:29:18Probably deserved to stop that.
00:29:19It was a great effort in the field.
00:29:23This is hand stinging.
00:29:25It was really flying.
00:29:2925 overs bowled this morning.
00:29:31Only 33 runs.
00:29:36Oh, there you go.
00:29:39He's putting a bat on it.
00:29:40He's only went for just four over the slip.
00:29:43Pick was up.
00:29:44Butcher was up.
00:29:46Four runs.
00:29:50Well, if you're going to flash, flash hard.
00:29:52That is the theory here in Perth.
00:29:53That's exactly what Steve Waugh did.
00:29:57And Ram Prakash there.
00:30:02Butcher, in fact, very late going for that one.
00:30:10It's time.
00:30:11This will go for four.
00:30:12That really hurts.
00:30:14Attempted yorker.
00:30:16Well played.
00:30:24Well, a little tense period here at the Wacker.
00:30:27Steve Waugh breaking worse with two boundaries and a cracking shot off the back foot.
00:30:31Stopped the cover.
00:30:36In the air and dropped.
00:30:38Mullally there at, well, he was quite close.
00:30:43I've been keeping an eye on the mid-off fields.
00:30:45I'm not too sure that Mullally's got a really good idea of exactly where to be at mid-off.
00:30:51Mullally's been pretty kind to Steve Waugh so far in this test series.
00:30:55He stopped him being run out in the first test by putting his hands in front of the stumps.
00:31:01On this occasion, didn't have much more success.
00:31:06Alex Tudor is the man down at the members end.
00:31:16That's beautifully played.
00:31:18It was slightly over-pitched and he's driven that one down the ground so easily.
00:31:23That brings up the 200 now for Australia.
00:31:25They're starting to pile it on here.
00:31:27This lead is getting quite big.
00:31:37Oh, and that was an interesting shot.
00:31:43Interesting to replay that one.
00:31:45It's ended up going all the way to the boundary for four,
00:31:48but it looked as if he was backing away to hit it through the offside.
00:31:57Oh, good shot.
00:31:59Mullally's starting to turn it on now.
00:32:01This will be the third forward in the over.
00:32:05It's going to get there.
00:32:06Yes, that's nicely played as well.
00:32:09Twelve runs from the over.
00:32:11Four for 208.
00:32:14Mark Waugh's on strike.
00:32:16Goff to continue.
00:32:17Oh, he's hit him.
00:32:20Yes, he didn't play that one very well at all.
00:32:22He started to go down and then stood up and eventually let the ball hit him on the arm.
00:32:27I think it got him in the end.
00:32:33He's bowled him.
00:32:34That is beautiful bowling.
00:32:37I think that may well have been what he was trying to do there as well.
00:32:40Keep the ball right up and Steve Waugh playing from the crease,
00:32:44trying to smash that one away.
00:32:46And I think he probably got a little inside edge and dragged it back onto the stumps.
00:32:52Well, that's a pretty good reward.
00:32:54There's been a bit of thought going into his bowling.
00:32:56It's his first test victim.
00:32:57Not a bad victim to get first up.
00:33:01That's a very good off-cutter.
00:33:03When you can hit the stumps of a player averaging about 50 in test cricket,
00:33:08you're going all right.
00:33:09Steve Waugh gone for 33.
00:33:11It's five for 209.
00:33:14Ricky Ponting, just 23 years of age.
00:33:16He seems to have been around for a long time, doesn't he?
00:33:18He's only 23, a young player.
00:33:26And, of course, on that occasion, he started to move and just kept going.
00:33:29And it was nice to play.
00:33:33That's Warfield at two right on the boundary down there.
00:33:35The ball tends to get away down there very fast.
00:33:39So it's three to Ponting.
00:33:46In the air and he's got him.
00:33:47That caught one.
00:33:48Oh, that caught another one.
00:33:50That's good news.
00:33:51Good news for England and very good news for Tudor.
00:33:54He's bowled pretty well.
00:33:55He's kept it up there.
00:33:57And Mark Waugh that time trying to drive the ball through the offside
00:34:00and hit the edge.
00:34:01And Butcher took the catch quite low down.
00:34:04Well, not a bad start.
00:34:06First two victims, the Waugh twins.
00:34:08And he's done it once again with a perfect length delivery.
00:34:11Up there encouraging the drive and it just moves away.
00:34:14That's a magnificent delivery.
00:34:16Mark Butcher, who's probably been the best of the England slip fielders
00:34:20in this series, takes the catch.
00:34:23Two for Tudor.
00:34:26And Australia have lost their sixth for 214.
00:34:32So Ian Healy the new batsman now and 108 test matches.
00:34:37Highest score 161.
00:34:39Gives you some idea of the strength of this line-up.
00:34:42He's made 100 at this ground as well.
00:34:44Now facing Tudor.
00:34:47And straight away he's off the mark.
00:34:50He really doesn't waste any time at all.
00:34:54Very aggressive player back to the third.
00:34:57There's one thing that is a stone cold certainty.
00:35:00When Ian Healy's batting, there's always something happening.
00:35:07Oh, what a gully.
00:35:11And he got a fingertip to that one as well.
00:35:19So Cork is in that position.
00:35:21You can see he's looking at his fingers.
00:35:23Look at it.
00:35:27Lying away.
00:35:28That would have been a great catch.
00:35:33Off to Healy. Healy whips it away.
00:35:35He's on fire. Healy.
00:35:37Remotely gets another boundary. Races to 12.
00:35:4012 off four balls. And what a difference it makes when Healy
00:35:43comes to the crease.
00:35:45He's a super cricketer.
00:35:49He certainly is, Bill.
00:35:54That's a spot.
00:35:56He's got him. Yes, finally.
00:35:58Gough gets an LBW.
00:36:00He's had many shouts today. That's the first one.
00:36:02Healy gone for 12.
00:36:04And a good spell here by England.
00:36:12That's good following from Derringham. He's kept it up.
00:36:15Straight.
00:36:17And I don't think there's much doubt about that.
00:36:19That's knee roll.
00:36:20Hardly forward.
00:36:22Probably middle stump.
00:36:24Three quarters of the way up.
00:36:25Good decision.
00:36:28Quite backed by England here.
00:36:30Giving themselves half a chance.
00:36:32And Healy's gone for 12.
00:36:34It's now 7 for 228.
00:36:38Andrew Fleming. Eight tests.
00:36:4071 on out at the Gabba.
00:36:42Good for his average of 23.8.
00:36:44He'd be tested here because Gough and
00:36:47his partner Alex Tudor got the tails up.
00:36:50But that was good bowling by Gough.
00:36:52He's getting the ball to move.
00:36:53This one just held its line.
00:36:54Cut back a fraction.
00:36:58That's out. Yes!
00:36:59He's got tails and a hat-trick.
00:37:01So all of a sudden for Darren Gough,
00:37:03luck goes his way.
00:37:07I suppose if you keep it in the right place often enough,
00:37:09things happen.
00:37:10We've said that throughout the morning's play.
00:37:12Alan Mullally, I think, should deserve a big wrap
00:37:16for this because he really did tie up
00:37:18a lot of batsmen this morning.
00:37:20Darren Gough in the right place.
00:37:22A good catch by Graham Hick.
00:37:23That went quick to his left.
00:37:26Darren Gough.
00:37:27Look at the difference a day makes.
00:37:31Damien Fleming.
00:37:33He's on his way.
00:37:36To the glories of Brisbane.
00:37:38Back to earth.
00:37:39For the first bowler.
00:37:42The new batsman is
00:37:44Colin Muller.
00:37:47His first test match in Australia.
00:37:49He's coming out to bat.
00:37:50The wacker on a hat-trick.
00:37:52There's the hat-trick ball from Darren Gough.
00:37:57Oh!
00:37:58It's right on line.
00:37:59It was well played.
00:38:00That was dead straight.
00:38:02A beautiful over.
00:38:04Yes.
00:38:05Darren Gough
00:38:07deserves that.
00:38:08You can't begrudge him.
00:38:14Nicely driven.
00:38:15That could go for four.
00:38:18David pitching.
00:38:20Lovely defusement.
00:38:21Cut it off just inside the fence.
00:38:32Muller on strike.
00:38:34Toysa York him over the super goes.
00:38:39First runs for Colin Muller off an edge.
00:38:43Pick up three more.
00:38:48Muller's off the mark.
00:38:49It's pretty happening.
00:38:50It's just a luncheon break.
00:38:55In the air.
00:38:56The man's down there.
00:38:57It's Darren Gough.
00:38:58Can he take it?
00:38:59He drops it.
00:39:00Oh dear.
00:39:01Oh dear.
00:39:02That was a sitter.
00:39:03Young Tudor got the bouncer
00:39:04and it went straight down his throat.
00:39:05Darren Gough dropped it.
00:39:07That's terrible cricket.
00:39:10It's a good bouncer.
00:39:12It's too quick for Ricky Ponting.
00:39:18He might be smiling.
00:39:19I'm not sure Alex Tudor will be.
00:39:21It's a good bouncer.
00:39:22It's in there.
00:39:23It's the right line.
00:39:25It really can't be much simpler than that.
00:39:29Well.
00:39:30It doesn't really look like catching it.
00:39:35Extra man out for the hook shot now for Ricky Ponting.
00:39:40Well.
00:39:43Wild's got him.
00:39:44Yes, he has.
00:39:45That's superb.
00:39:50Ricky Ponting didn't look very happy with the decision.
00:39:52I'm not quite sure why.
00:39:57The benefit of the slow-mo route.
00:39:59Have a look at it.
00:40:00The young man.
00:40:02Darren Gough is absolutely delighted
00:40:04because there's nothing worse
00:40:06than dropping a guy and he goes on.
00:40:10It's hard to tell with that
00:40:12whether there's any glove there or not.
00:40:14But certainly shoulder.
00:40:15It's just a case of what it hit first.
00:40:20It doesn't matter.
00:40:21Ponting's gone.
00:40:22It's gone for eleven.
00:40:23It's nine for two, three, nine.
00:40:26Gwen McGrath.
00:40:28Australia have lost five for 30 since the luncheon break.
00:40:31Some excellent bowling by Tudor and Gough.
00:40:33Good catching.
00:40:34The umpires had a very good match here.
00:40:37A lot of decisions down.
00:40:39It certainly looked like it took the shoulder or the sleeve.
00:40:46Yeah, it's hit the shoulder.
00:40:50McGrath, over the top, could be out.
00:40:52Yes, four for Tudor.
00:40:54A duck from McGrath.
00:40:55Good session for England.
00:40:56They've bowled Australia out for 240
00:40:58and this young man on debut gets four.
00:41:02It doesn't make a difference if you've got a couple of quicks
00:41:06operating together.
00:41:07And with Mullally also an extra pace that England
00:41:11has a little bit more bite in it.
00:41:14McGrath.
00:41:15He's trying to get that over the slipcord.
00:41:18All he does is get it to Dominic Cork.
00:41:21Alex Tudor.
00:41:23What a good comeback from this young man.
00:41:25Starts off with the War Brothers.
00:41:27And he gets Ricky Ponting and finishes off with Glenn McGrath.
00:41:30He goes for a second ball duck.
00:41:37Glenn McGrath goes without trouble to score.
00:41:40Australia all out for 240.
00:41:42In the second over, Atherton is the man taking a strike.
00:41:46Fleming is the bowler.
00:41:47No runs on the board at the moment.
00:41:49And with me in the commentary box is Simon O'Donnell.
00:41:53There's a good example of the swing Simon O'Donnell was talking about.
00:42:01That's that stroke we see occasionally from Michael Atherton.
00:42:09That's a beautiful square drive.
00:42:11A trademark shot.
00:42:16That will give Mike Atherton some confidence.
00:42:20That will give Mike Atherton some confidence.
00:42:29And got him.
00:42:34Fleming has done it again.
00:42:36First innings it was caught by Healy.
00:42:38Second innings, he's just got one to hold his line.
00:42:42Go away a fraction and Ponting has taken the catch.
00:42:45First one down for Australia.
00:42:49I have to say Mark Butcher has made a little bit of improvement here.
00:42:52He actually got more bat on it.
00:42:54Beautiful delivery from Damian Fleming.
00:42:56It looked like coming back into him and then seemed away.
00:42:59Safe pair of hands there.
00:43:01Ricky Ponting will be pleased to get into the match at this stage.
00:43:05Mark Butcher is the man gone, an important man gone.
00:43:09Only one run on the board.
00:43:11Now England one for five.
00:43:15New batsman is Nasser Hussain.
00:43:17Very talented player as he showed up in Brisbane.
00:43:31McGrath looks to me as though
00:43:34he's in one of those zone modes at the moment.
00:43:39Cool and calm and
00:43:42not bothering about anything except bowling.
00:43:45A cracking shot.
00:43:48That is a beautiful strike.
00:43:51Good answer from Michael Atherton. One for eleven.
00:43:55Fleming bowling superbly into the breeze.
00:43:59It's close.
00:44:01He's given in.
00:44:02Fleming strikes again.
00:44:04It's two for eleven.
00:44:05Hussain just half forward.
00:44:07The swing back from Fleming.
00:44:08Superb bowling.
00:44:11Yes, I think that probably straightened down the line.
00:44:14Umpire Venkat really did take his time.
00:44:18In fact, no, it's not Umpire Venkat.
00:44:20He's moved down the other end now, isn't he?
00:44:22It's Umpire Harper.
00:44:23He took his time about this.
00:44:25They had a long hard look at it.
00:44:26Just let's see if we can pick up some swing.
00:44:28Yes, I think it straightened down the line
00:44:30and hit him just below the roll on the front leg.
00:44:32His leg then sort of went a little way to the right.
00:44:35Look at Umpire Harper, waits his time
00:44:37and then a judge him out LBW.
00:44:40I think that's fair enough too.
00:44:41It certainly wasn't going over the top,
00:44:43which so often happens here.
00:44:44Nasser Hussain.
00:44:45That's a big wicket.
00:44:46Now LBW to Fleming.
00:44:47Second England wicket to have fallen.
00:44:50Two for eleven.
00:44:52Next, you would take the scarred from Umpire Clarell Harper.
00:44:55Eight wickets have fallen in the second session.
00:44:58Fleming has two for four.
00:45:05That's a good shot.
00:45:06That's what he needs to do.
00:45:09Fall off the over.
00:45:11Two for fifteen.
00:45:15Fleming has two for four.
00:45:19He's gone, yes.
00:45:20Taylor takes the catch.
00:45:21Fleming has three for four.
00:45:22Stewart, a duck.
00:45:23Superb bowling and fine catching.
00:45:28Yes, he certainly let that one go
00:45:30with just a little bit of extra.
00:45:31And you can see the celebration there.
00:45:33They put a big value on this guy's wicket.
00:45:37That was a very good ball.
00:45:38It was a little quicker.
00:45:41You could see that little bit of extra bounce there.
00:45:43Stewart went after it,
00:45:44trying to force it through the offside.
00:45:46It went flying to Taylor.
00:45:48It was well caught.
00:45:49Have a look at the shine on that ball.
00:45:50In she goes.
00:45:51Hits the seam.
00:45:52Moves off the wicket a little bit.
00:45:53And Taylor is as safe as a house.
00:45:56Beautifully taken.
00:45:57And have a look at Healy too.
00:45:59Up in the air there,
00:46:00celebrating the dismissal of the England captain.
00:46:05Stewart out for a duck.
00:46:06Three for fifteen.
00:46:09Pass comes to the crease at three for fifteen.
00:46:11Damien Fleming has three for four.
00:46:15Superb spell of swing bowling.
00:46:18McGraw charging in from the river end.
00:46:23Big shouts.
00:46:24I think he might be gone.
00:46:25Not out, says umpire Venkat.
00:46:28Oh, it's all happening, Tony.
00:46:30They're jumping around behind the stumps there.
00:46:32Ponting came charging in from third slip.
00:46:34They're all up in the air.
00:46:35McGraw can't believe it.
00:46:37He's still standing at the crease.
00:46:40And a little bit of chat going on out there.
00:46:44I think they probably thought there was an inside edge on that one.
00:46:52That's a fine shot from Michael Atherton.
00:46:59Atherton moving to twenty with a very confident square cut.
00:47:04First time for Jason Gillespie in this innings.
00:47:07He bowled seven overs in the first innings.
00:47:12Oh, that's beautifully timed.
00:47:15His square of the wicket shots have been excellent in this innings.
00:47:23Oh, that's beautifully timed.
00:47:34That's a good bouncer from Fleming.
00:47:37And in the end, pretty well played.
00:47:43It's where you see Mike Atherton got a surprise there.
00:47:50Well bowled and he's followed it up with a wicket.
00:47:53A beautiful delivery following the bouncer.
00:47:56And Mark Taylor has snared another one.
00:48:04Not only is Damien Fleming bowling well,
00:48:06you could never question his thought processes.
00:48:11What a mature wicket for him.
00:48:13Mike Atherton has been the only player in control.
00:48:18During this innings, he threw the bouncer at him.
00:48:21It's unsettled him.
00:48:22The beautiful outswinger had him shuffling across the crease.
00:48:26And there it is, his fourth.
00:48:29Magnificent effort from Damien Fleming.
00:48:31Michael Atherton departs.
00:48:33England in trouble at 4 for 40.
00:48:36John Crawley coming in at number 6.
00:48:48Oh, that's gone very close to the stumps.
00:48:50Jason Gillespie has rattled the Englishman a bit with his pace here.
00:48:56This was just a nothing shot.
00:48:59Absolute nothing shot.
00:49:01He's got away with it.
00:49:03Colin Miller to continue.
00:49:07Oh, a chance here.
00:49:08Colin Miller has got him.
00:49:11The partnership that England so needed has been broken.
00:49:17Jonathan Crawley falls to the offspin of Miller.
00:49:23A little bit of drift in the air, possibly some spin back.
00:49:27It was an easy back pad catch.
00:49:29Just lollied up in the air.
00:49:33Crawley forward.
00:49:34Plenty of bat on the pad.
00:49:36No doubt about that.
00:49:39The partnership that England so needed
00:49:43to be a dominant part of this innings ends.
00:49:46Crawley heads back to the pavilion.
00:49:48Caught Langer.
00:49:49The bowling of Miller.
00:49:50England now 5 for 67.
00:49:53Graham Hick is the new batsman.
00:49:57He's been able to trouble too many people in the first innings.
00:50:02Miller the offspinner.
00:50:08And 4 for Hick, first ball.
00:50:16Nice shot.
00:50:19Might be a long chase because
00:50:21it won't go to the boundary.
00:50:25Moving within himself there.
00:50:29Spent a period of time off the ground.
00:50:31Possibly not wanting to extend fully
00:50:34and do any further damage just at this stage
00:50:36without being fully warmed up.
00:50:40That's runs.
00:50:52He's hit that one in front of square.
00:50:56And it's gone all the way.
00:50:58Well, what a good shot that was.
00:51:00Now this is more like it.
00:51:05He's hit that one too.
00:51:06That's gone miles.
00:51:08Way down over the top.
00:51:10What a shot that is.
00:51:14He's also got a bit of a cut above the eyebrow.
00:51:18It's going to be Fleming.
00:51:21Not very well this morning. The lead is 41.
00:51:23Four wickets in hand.
00:51:25Fleming bowing.
00:51:26Superb spell once again.
00:51:28It's a good bouncer to Dominic Cork.
00:51:30Caught him by surprise.
00:51:33See a little bit of treatment.
00:51:35Not too bad.
00:51:40That's what they need.
00:51:42Not too bad.
00:51:44That's what they need.
00:51:46That's what they need.
00:51:48Go on for a couple and put him away for four.
00:51:50That's what they need. Some boundaries.
00:51:52Good shot.
00:51:56It's actually quite an attacking player when he plays in England
00:51:58for his county, Middlesex.
00:52:00He seems to
00:52:02quite rightly, I suppose, his first
00:52:04plan is defence and staying there.
00:52:06But when he cuts loose like this with shots
00:52:09it's not an easy shot to play that.
00:52:11He's
00:52:13gone for it.
00:52:15He's been totally committed to it.
00:52:29Good running as well.
00:52:31He walks the cricketer. He's trying to get into the game.
00:52:33Trying to make things happen.
00:52:35He's got to get in there and fight it out.
00:52:37Get in there behind the ball.
00:52:40Show his mettle.
00:52:45That's a good result. He went for one.
00:52:47Didn't get it. This time he did. That's a good shot.
00:52:54I don't think it'll be too long.
00:52:56We'll see a third man in for Dominic Cork.
00:52:59He's going to have a go at it out there.
00:53:03Flies away.
00:53:05He missed
00:53:07at the start of the over.
00:53:11Third man or a fly slip.
00:53:24That's a good shot.
00:53:31Didn't quite punch away, but placed it nicely.
00:53:33Picks up two more.
00:53:36A lead increasing, getting past the half century.
00:53:40With just four wickets in hand.
00:53:42Good shot.
00:53:44A straight bat.
00:53:53Off the way nicely.
00:53:55Should be at least three.
00:53:57Maybe even four.
00:54:01And happy with the three.
00:54:056-1, 8-7.
00:54:15Carried well fielded by Ponting.
00:54:17The first slip.
00:54:25I don't see this very often.
00:54:27It's a genuine edge.
00:54:29Just dropping in front of Ricky Ponting.
00:54:32Good shot.
00:54:34Nicely timed cup of dry.
00:54:42Not keen to come back.
00:54:46Wrong way to throw the ball, but Cork was keen.
00:54:58That's a good shot.
00:55:01They probably should have got three for this.
00:55:07By Scottie.
00:55:09That's what happens sometimes too.
00:55:11Good bowing. It was a full length.
00:55:13Cork's gone for 16.
00:55:15Yeah, he played all round that.
00:55:20If he'd run the three that he felt he should have had the ball before,
00:55:22he wouldn't have been facing.
00:55:25That's good bowling.
00:55:27Leslie's forced him back.
00:55:30That's very straight.
00:55:40Leslie doing a job this morning, picking up two.
00:55:42Cork's gone for 16.
00:55:44It's seven for 189.
00:55:47Alex Tudor.
00:55:49He's waited at the centre.
00:55:51Big breakthrough there by Leslie.
00:55:53Playing pretty well, Dominic Cork.
00:55:55He was out for 16 as Ian Shappell and Tony Gregg take up the commentary.
00:55:58Mind you, he's very close to the stumps there.
00:56:00There it goes.
00:56:06It hit him on the left-hand side of that pad
00:56:08as we looked down the pitch,
00:56:10so it was pretty close to leg stump.
00:56:12Anyhow, all that matters is that the umpire
00:56:14thought it was going to hit the stumps
00:56:16and up went his finger.
00:56:18So another Englishman back in the pavilion.
00:56:27Oh, that's close, yes.
00:56:29That was going down the leg side.
00:56:31It must have nipped back a bit.
00:56:33Quick delivery.
00:56:38Very, very close.
00:56:40So Gillespie on his way again.
00:56:42He's bowling well here.
00:56:46And that's gone.
00:56:48Big edge, straight through to Healy.
00:56:50Well taken too. No trouble at all, actually.
00:56:52That's a good length to a tail ender.
00:56:54You get it just outside of stump
00:56:56going away a little bit.
00:56:58Having bowled him a good ball the previous one.
00:57:00That's good bowling.
00:57:04Yes, it's been a beautiful length today.
00:57:06Starting with Graham Hick.
00:57:08He got a good delivery to get rid of him.
00:57:10It's been a good length and just enough movement.
00:57:14Easy catch there for Ian Healy
00:57:16and Jason Gillespie
00:57:18in the middle of a very, very good spell of bowling.
00:57:22Alex Tudor has gone for a duck
00:57:24and England have lost their eighth wicket
00:57:26with a score of 189.
00:57:32So Darren Goff has now arrived at the centre
00:57:34to face the music.
00:57:36Two wickets so far in this over.
00:57:40To Gillespie, figures of 3 for 87 now.
00:57:42Almost 15 overs have been bowled.
00:57:44He's just got one to go in this over.
00:57:46He'll be screaming in at Goff.
00:57:48Three slips and a very square gully there.
00:57:54Gillespie means business.
00:57:58Oh, that's close. Yes, he's gone.
00:58:00He's got him first ball.
00:58:02He's got a long way across.
00:58:04That's good bowling by Gillespie.
00:58:06Spot on target.
00:58:08Three wickets in four balls
00:58:10and he's on a hat-trick next over.
00:58:14That's, of course, if he gets a chance
00:58:16because, well,
00:58:18that's another wicket down now
00:58:20and so nine are down.
00:58:24Four for 18 in this spell.
00:58:26Jason Gillespie, and that is plumb.
00:58:28He was a long, long way across.
00:58:30Darren Goff
00:58:32and umpire Ben Contragivant.
00:58:34Absolutely no doubt at all.
00:58:36So Jason Gillespie is on a hat-trick
00:58:38if he gets the opportunity
00:58:40with England now nine down.
00:58:48So Alan Mullally is the new batsman.
00:58:50He made nought in the first inning
00:58:52so he's on a pair.
00:58:54Jason Gillespie getting cheered
00:58:56as he makes his way down to the boundary.
00:58:58So that was the end of the over.
00:59:00He'll have to wait now
00:59:02to see if he's going to get a chance
00:59:04at his hat-trick.
00:59:06This was the one that put him on the hat-trick.
00:59:08Darren Goff, a long way across
00:59:10and found in front.
00:59:12Well bowled
00:59:22and one just reared up
00:59:24a little bit.
00:59:26Mullally just a little relieved
00:59:28he got some bat on that one.
00:59:30These two guys don't mind having
00:59:32a little go at each other.
00:59:34That's hit him.
00:59:42And McGrath
00:59:44still wandering down at him.
00:59:46I don't think
00:59:48there's much love lost there.
00:59:50I think they'll have a go at each other
00:59:52often. That's the end of the over.
00:59:54It's nine for 190.
01:00:00So here we go. A hat-trick ball
01:00:02by Gillespie.
01:00:06On the onside for one.
01:00:08Alright, well
01:00:10now it's going to be over
01:00:12to Mullally.
01:00:16This will be interesting now.
01:00:18Gillespie to Mullally.
01:00:20He's bowled him. Clean bowled him.
01:00:22I think that was a slower ball. He didn't pick it up
01:00:24at all. It hit the base of the stumps
01:00:26without touching the ground.
01:00:28What a performance by Gillespie.
01:00:30He's ended up with five wickets.
01:00:34Four for one
01:00:36in six balls
01:00:38in that spell.
01:00:40He's certainly finished them off.
01:00:42Well England
01:00:44have had problems with this tail
01:00:46and Gillespie's absolutely
01:00:48demolished them and
01:00:50demolished the furniture as well with a
01:00:52very good off-break.
01:00:54Mullally thought it was a bit of a gift there.
01:00:56At one stage he was looking to slog it away.
01:00:58He was completely fooled.
01:01:02Yes, there's no doubt about that. He never
01:01:04picked the slower ball at all. You could see him as he
01:01:06was coming in. His fingers went around the ball
01:01:08and
01:01:10I think when he saw it let it go he thought
01:01:12it was going to be a rank high full toss.
01:01:14So a pair for Mullally in the test match.
01:01:16In the second inning
01:01:18he's out bowled by Gillespie.
01:01:20So he'll get
01:01:22a pretty good
01:01:24ovation as he goes off the ground.
01:01:26He's bowled with a lot of fire and
01:01:28bowled sensibly too.
01:01:30That's his third
01:01:32five wicket haul in test match cricket. He's second
01:01:34against England and he came
01:01:36back very well after being smashed
01:01:38around a bit by Hick.
01:01:40Well that all finished with a rush. The England
01:01:42innings came to a rapid conclusion there
01:01:44and this is the way the card looked.
01:01:46191. I reckon they
01:01:48needed about 275 in all to
01:01:50make a real game of it to set a big target
01:01:52and a difficult one for the Australians
01:01:54and that scorecard
01:01:56Ramprakash 47 not out. He was not out
01:01:58up in Brisbane as well and
01:02:00he's a very dogged player.
01:02:0268 for Graham Hick. I thought he played
01:02:04very well again. He carried the attack to the Australians
01:02:06which is precisely what was needed.
01:02:08What wasn't needed after Cork's dismissal
01:02:10was Tudor, Goff and
01:02:12Mullally to go for Ducks
01:02:14and the reason they did
01:02:16that is on the second last line there.
01:02:18Jason Gillespie 15.2
01:02:20overs, two maidens. 5-4
01:02:2288 and bear in mind he started
01:02:24the day with none for 69.
01:02:26Fleming went from 4 for 16 to 4
01:02:28for 45. McGrath none for 47
01:02:30and Miller
01:02:32won for 11.
01:02:34We're going to join play now in the second
01:02:36over of the innings. It's none for 3
01:02:38at the moment. Mullally is the bowler, left arm
01:02:40over the wicket. He's coming in to bow to Michael Slater
01:02:42and Bill Laurie is with me
01:02:44in the commentary box.
01:02:48He's gone for it. He's got a good result as well
01:02:50in the air
01:02:52but safe.
01:02:54Four runs.
01:02:56That's why he's so dangerous, Michael Slater. He does throw
01:02:58the bat hard at the ball.
01:03:04Not a bad piece of bowling either. He gave him a bit of wit.
01:03:06He went for it.
01:03:12Flyers away.
01:03:14Michael
01:03:16the galley fieldsman.
01:03:20Got him.
01:03:22Can you believe that?
01:03:24Swung it in.
01:03:26Straight back to Mullally
01:03:28who dropped him. None for 7.
01:03:32Swung it back into him.
01:03:34Straight down his throat.
01:03:36Made a meal of it.
01:03:46Off to Mark Taylor.
01:03:50Oh, how was that?
01:03:52Bounced over the top of the stumps.
01:03:54When you're hot, you're hot.
01:03:56When you're not, you're not.
01:03:58You want to know how much bounce there is in this whack of pitch?
01:04:00Just watch this.
01:04:08Mark Taylor.
01:04:10Good delivery.
01:04:12Pushed it down and it just bounced right over
01:04:14the top of the middle stump.
01:04:20That's four runs.
01:04:22That's superbly played.
01:04:24Full face of the bat.
01:04:26All the way on the carpet.
01:04:28Good stroke.
01:04:32It's hard to bowl to Michael Slater because he's after you all the time.
01:04:36Just straight onto the next stump.
01:04:38You see the ball just coming back onto the next stump.
01:04:40He worked it away beautifully.
01:04:42Well bowled.
01:04:44It's got him.
01:04:46That's good bowling.
01:04:48Hick takes the catch.
01:04:50Well he's a fine young bowler.
01:04:52He needs a target to bowl at.
01:04:54Yes.
01:04:56All England will be thinking about out there
01:04:58is if only we'd got more.
01:05:00Now Graham Hick who made the runs in the second innings
01:05:02has taken the catch.
01:05:04And the first wicket goes down for Australia.
01:05:06And they're only just a bit past double figures.
01:05:0816 for the loss of Taylor.
01:05:10It was a good delivery.
01:05:12It squared him up.
01:05:14And it was a low catch.
01:05:16And Hick took it very well.
01:05:18Australia 1 for 16 in their second innings.
01:05:24Taylor caught Hick bold.
01:05:26Mullally for three.
01:05:28Justin Wangert.
01:05:30Coming in at 1-4-16.
01:05:32Very good delivery from Mullally.
01:05:36Pick up.
01:05:38Mark Taylor.
01:05:40Good catch by Hick.
01:05:42He's now caught two out of three.
01:05:44Squares you up a bit.
01:05:46Finds the edge.
01:05:48Well caught.
01:05:56Chance.
01:05:58And it's going to fall short of the gully.
01:06:00Just unbelievable.
01:06:02The way Darren Goff's luck is going.
01:06:04Goff.
01:06:06And he's got it.
01:06:08Well he hit it a reasonably firm chance back to Mullally
01:06:10who muffed it.
01:06:12So that was a dolly.
01:06:14To Darren Goff.
01:06:16And he's finally claimed Michael Slater
01:06:18after very nearly having him in his last over.
01:06:30Goff.
01:06:32Slater.
01:06:40Yes.
01:06:42It looks as if he was going to play that away on the onside
01:06:44and then just stopped his shot a little bit.
01:06:46So Goff has managed to get it caught in bold.
01:06:48Catch him yourself.
01:06:50And that makes it certain.
01:06:52So Michael Slater.
01:06:54Out on 17.
01:06:56It's 2 for 24.
01:06:58Mark War is the number four for Australia.
01:07:00Joining Justin Langer.
01:07:04Darren Goff taking a very simple court in bold.
01:07:08Tudor now at the river end
01:07:10to replace Alan Mullally.
01:07:18Gone. Yes.
01:07:20Well caught.
01:07:22Michael Atherton at first slip.
01:07:24That was a good catch.
01:07:26He had to leap to his left.
01:07:28And a few go down
01:07:30on the left hand, but he caught that well.
01:07:32Really good delivery too.
01:07:34There was a bit of fire in this one.
01:07:36It perched and seemed to me to take off
01:07:38a little bit. It looked as if it hit up
01:07:40right near the edge
01:07:42of the shoulder of the bat. Just watch this again.
01:07:44He goes and yes, that one bounced
01:07:46nicely and went fizzing through.
01:07:48Yes, good catch.
01:07:50Up to his left. He caught it nicely.
01:07:52We've seen a good few of those taken high.
01:07:54And very good bowling
01:07:56by young Tudor as well.
01:07:58Quite enjoyed that one.
01:08:00Alright, so Justin Langer
01:08:02is out for 7 and they're 3 for 36.
01:08:06Steve Waugh is the new man at the crease.
01:08:10Another good bowling performance
01:08:12from England. Darren Goff
01:08:14continuing. Mark Waugh the batsman.
01:08:18Lovely shot.
01:08:20A good answer for the short rough stuff
01:08:22from Mark Waugh.
01:08:24Gave him time, many shots, but this was spot on.
01:08:34It's getting better
01:08:36as time goes on.
01:08:38It's now 3 for 45.
01:08:427 wickets in hand.
01:08:4419 runs for victory.
01:08:46Australia go 1-0 up in this
01:08:48Anset Australia Test Series.
01:08:54Steve Waugh
01:08:56not going to muck about.
01:08:58Plenty of fieldsmen around the back.
01:09:00Knows there's open spaces
01:09:02if he can get hold of it.
01:09:04He got hold of that one.
01:09:06That's a good comeback, isn't it?
01:09:08He's had a little bit of a peppering
01:09:10around the chest.
01:09:12First one with a bit of width.
01:09:16Well, it's 4 runs.
01:09:18It doesn't matter how they come.
01:09:20A bit of flush.
01:09:22Flush hard.
01:09:26Only the one run
01:09:28required now for victory.
01:09:34That'll do us.
01:09:38Easy single there
01:09:40to Steve Waugh.
01:09:44An excellent win to Australia in this
01:09:46second Test match.
01:09:51They go to a
01:09:531-0 lead in this
01:09:55Anset Australia Test Series.
01:09:58No real alarms there for the Australians.
01:10:003 for 64.
01:10:02They lost those 3 wickets pretty quickly
01:10:04but there wasn't enough of a target
01:10:06there for England to bowl at.
01:10:0817 for Slater.
01:10:103 for Taylor and Langer out for 7.
01:10:12Mark Waugh 7 and Steve Waugh 15.
01:10:14And just the 3 bowlers used.
01:10:16I was pleased to see Mullally giving the new ball today.
01:10:18I think he and Goff are the 2 men who should
01:10:20open the bowling for England.
01:10:22And I thought Alex Tudor again looked very good.
01:10:24Each of those 3 players
01:10:26picking up a wicket.
01:10:28Now the man of the match was Damien Fleming.
01:10:30Splendid bowling from him.
01:10:32Mostly coming up into the breeze, into the free-mantle doctor
01:10:34and bowling his out-swinger and the occasional in-swinger
01:10:36with great skill
01:10:38and very, very good performance.
01:10:40Well with me now is the England
01:10:42captain Alex Stewart.
01:10:44Alex, a very disappointing day.
01:10:46I don't think it was any test match, but to be fair
01:10:48it was on the first day, bowled out for 112
01:10:50where we really struggled.
01:10:52There was a time today when Graham Hick was in
01:10:54that you almost dared to hope that some sort of miracle might happen.
01:10:56Yeah, it would be nice if Graham Hick
01:10:58and Mark Ramcatcher stayed together a little bit longer.
01:11:00They both played very well.
01:11:02It's good to see Graham Hick being so positive.
01:11:04He got out and unfortunately we then followed
01:11:06pretty quickly after.
01:11:08Now a 7 wicket loss, that looks fairly emphatic.
01:11:10Do you think Australia were that much better
01:11:12than England or are that much better than England?
01:11:14I don't think they're better than we did in this game.
01:11:16It was the first day where we certainly didn't help ourselves.
01:11:18We didn't back well enough.
01:11:20We were playing at balls that we should have been letting go.
01:11:22But saying that Australia bowled well.
01:11:24112 is not competitive enough.
01:11:26Obviously from now we're
01:11:281-0 down in the series. Can we come back?
01:11:30Obviously. We came back from 1-0 down
01:11:32against South Africa in the summer to win it 2-1.
01:11:34We've got to work hard. We've got to improve
01:11:36our game. If we do that, we've got a good chance.
01:11:38Now the Adelaide
01:11:40pitch, it does suit us. It's where we won last time.
01:11:42Does that give you some sort of encouragement?
01:11:44Yeah, obviously. Here playing in Perth, it's sort of a
01:11:46one-off. It's a quicker, bouncier wicket than anywhere else
01:11:48in the world. But you go back to Adelaide, we've played
01:11:50there once already and you just say we had success there
01:11:52four years ago. But what we've got to do is
01:11:54improve our all-round game. I was happy with the way we bowled
01:11:56but our fielding and batting has still got to
01:11:58improve here. So the Australians have
01:12:00gone 1-up in the series after the
01:12:02storm-washed-out play-up in Brisbane
01:12:04and it's been quite an exciting three days
01:12:06here at the WACA ground
01:12:08in Perth. For the moment, it's goodbye.
