Final Ashes Test**Spoiler**

[rich p]

Well, they're off and running with only 1 wicket lost by England so far. Here's hoping we can show some greater resolve this time.

I put Spoiler in the title as I got abused last time by people who tape it, avoid all media and watch the highlights later!

Putting spoiler is a good idea IMO rich p, let's hope it's a good test and the result is the one we want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

108-1 at lunch - Got some Americans in the office today and the sterotype about them being confussed is very true. Taking them to watch the evening session with a pint of 'warm' beer - they all look very nervous / excited.

They just keep muttering 5 days later it can be a draw?

Good start, so far.

No rain here in NW London

Helicopter just passed the window dragging a big banner declaring that Freddie Flintoff is a deodorant or something like that...disappeared from view now.

181-4!

England have to win this Test to win the Ashes, a draw is no good. So why are they only scoring at 3.35 an over?

The only people who don't drop Bopara, Crock, are the Aussie players!
