New-ish ball. Short deliveries - they're peppering the batsmen now. Soild tactics.

 

[Willow]

OK, 17 overs to go, in two overs it'll be an hour to go.

Warne trying to put some pressure on the field now... go lads.

7/313, Warne has just been dropped at mid wicket.

 

[Willow]

7/314.
Drinks.

One hour to go boys... hang in there.

I seriously think the Aussies are playing for a win! They only need a bit over 6 an over. Certainly possible. Not if you listen to the commentators though.

 

[Timbo]

It looks that way. Ponting is going after everything here.

I hope he stops. It's suicide.

... a Border effort from Ponting, playing in failing light and sprawling about. Classic stuff.
