Or Warner threatened to hit him if he didn't agree to the review!

"Warner: I've not hit that.
 Clarke: You Have. You've hit that.
 Warner: I'll hit you.
 Clarke: OK, review it."

Tweet from @tickerscricket, found it amusing!

Finding it interesting that the Australian players and coach listening to the commentators via the earpiece radios. I was always under the impression that teams preferred to just watch the visuals without the commentary. I guess the earpieces give players and coaches to choose if they want the commentary or not.

The match shaping up well, but need to see both teams bat. Wonder what the declaration will be.

Top shelf innings by Clarke and it took a fab delivery by Broad to end it.

Clark out. We are into the tail!


With Australia's recent tendency for the tail to score more than the batsmen, are we looking at 800plus? (they'd obviously declare before)

Or will it bea regular innings mopped up?

The Aussies won't declare!!! They would be crazy to! They won the toss and batting first, so will take advantage of the best of the batting conditions and hope that the wicket starts to take spin well enough so that they can take 20 wickets!

With rain around for the next 3 days Clarke should get them in tonight.

They definitely wanting to get as many as fast as possibly now. Positive intent from the tail.

I think that will happen regardless of weather. That's how the Aussies tend to operate.

Another stellar performance from an Aussie tailender! Great knock so far by Starc.

Hopefully the Aussies can keep pushing towards a big total.

good declaration from Clarke,he was always going to tonight to try to get a couple of us out

and his knock was top class....credit where it's due he's been brilliant in interviews with our press despite some provocation and is a world class player

England need to show some resolve now.

Bizarre from Bresnan!  Don`t think he hit it (clearly came off his trouser pocket) yet still didn`t review - do the teams not trust DRS fully?
