Could do with a decent partnership now. Get past lunch and on to tea. KPs someone who won't have nerves and Cook looks to be settling more.

What's Taylor on about? If Australia can pick up another wicket before lunch, they will be on top? They will undoubtedly go into lunch on top having picked up the wickets of Strauss and Trott

It's the general consensus that on the first day at lunch if there's two wickets down then it was the batsmen's session. If three are down it's the bowlers session.

If England go in to lunch at 70-80 for 2, I think it would be about evenly poised, leaning towards Australia's session if anything

depends on the runs as well, over 100 runs and the poms have done well, but getting a few wickets can slow down the run rate

LOL @ Aggers on ABC Radio referring to the Victorian cricket team as the "Bushwackers" instead of Bushrangers.

I'm taking into account the pitch quickening up and suiting the batsmen more than the bowler. If this pitch which is expected to quicken up through the day does, then I would think that England being only down 2 wickets at lunch would feeling pretty good about it despite the lack of runs.
