Are they covering this series? They used to only cover matches that featured subcontinental teams.greg said:

I think that deep down, we all had a strong feeling that if the Aussies lost the toss, there'd be a start like this. I'm very, very worried.
Great stuff from Warne, as usual.

Good move to bring McGrath back on at this particular moment with the new batsman. That's what Australia really miss without him, the ability to just kill the game for a short period by using McGrath and Warne in tandem and build pressure. He's not quite at his best, but he can still keep it quiet.
, anyway i'll have my radio. Come on Australia....

Yet again Australia can only get a wicket from a spinner bowling in the first session of the match. Extremely worrying for the future seamer prospects..

Vaughan seems to be in quite good nick today, from what I can gather. Good.

Warne really pulling out all the variations here. Changing his pace, and rarely bowling two standard leg breaks in a row. It's great to watch how he deals with various conditions, with the pitch very good for batting this time he's changing it around a lot more than he was at the end of the Trent Bridge test. He even, as Richie pointed out, bowled a flipper sort of thing down the leg side last over.

Someone shoot Vaughan, now. Idiot.

We're bleeding runs too freely again, just like the first days of the last three tests. Only McGrath (ER of 2.5) has managed to keep things to below 5 an over.

Very clever bowling there, totally decieved Vaughan. Look at the position Vaughan in when he hit that - he didn't expect the bounce at all.
Warne in brilliant form.

I dunno why the commentators keep saying how England have played Warne well, it's hard to see how they could have played him any worse.
