England's top order should be ashamed of how they played today, if England do win this is it is down to the brilliance of Flintoff and Harmison. The bowlers have given us a fantastic chance of winning this match with the kind of flair and style to which we have become accustomed over the last few years.
180 was about 70 short of comfort for England but sometimes you have to trust in the game to sort the best team out and it is unquestionable that England have been the best team in this game so far.
It is not all over and it would be wrong to completely discount the Australians who can all bat, but it would take a brave man to bet on an Aussie win now. The last ball of the day was probably as significant as the last ball yesterday, Harmison showed extreme guile to remove Clarke who could have been the linchpin of an Aussie win.
But all the plaudits must go to Flintoff who performed heroically to set up this position.
