100 run lead, England are improving and have rammed home the advantage today, they have limited the scoring and taken key wickets at the right times. The highlight was the two blows that Langer took off Harmison, one to the head and one to the chest, he is clearly not a great player of bounce. Vaughan captained brilliantly throughout.
Australia would have expected to bat through easily and build a lead on Saturday but several of their key players contrived to get themselves out under extreme pressure from some excellent field settings and brilliant tactical bowling.
The ball that got Strauss at the end of the day is an ominous warning to England that even without McGrath Australia are well capable of getting 10 wickets, Warne will probably hold up an end for the whole of Saturday.
