Century in each innings from Khawaja.
150 partnership.
50 for Green.

They're showing the pitch is very flat. FTB fanboys will be very jealous!


But, like last year, Green throws his wicket away...

Cummins does not declare... He knows how flat the pitch is. He's been telling everyone for a long time how flat the SCG is.

Wowee... Carey out for a golden duck... And now the declaration.

Not great for Carey...

Sub keeper Pope gets his 4th catch.
Leach gets his 4th wicket: Harris, FTB, Green, Carey...
But he misses the chance for a hat trick!!

Oz 6/265d. Oz lead by 387 runs.

Lyon gets the chance to show he's not useless in 4th innings... We'll see...

Crawley smokes Cummins straight for 4. The pitch is too flat.

The groundsmen are ready. Rain coming?

But Oz are back to favourites. Second time this match...

Oz 1.85, Draw 2.00, England 67.00.

"Australia continue to find reinforcements at will as shown by Khawaja's extraordinary introduction to the series in which he's already scored more hundreds than the entire England touring party, and his union today with allrounder Cameron Green who was previously unable to buy a run.

The pair put England's flagging bowlers to the sword today, with Green making a mockery of his series average of 14.25 prior to today by belting 74 from 122 balls after Australia were teetering at 4-86."

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

The 4 umps for this Test are all ex-Australian first class cricketers.

Rod Tucker (NSW & Tas.) Paul Wilson (SA) and Steve Bernard (NSW) all played Shield cricket. Paul Reiffel (Vic) also played 35 Tests. Wilson played 1 Test.
