It was hard trying to stay awake all night, but the brilliant batting of Cook and Strauss kept me going. After four days, both teams are looking like the sides they were on paper coming into this series. Adelaide beckons and Australia will need to lift their spirits to get anything out of the game. Ha'way the lads...
This is probably one of the most talked about Test Series since 2005 with England having a genuine chance of winning down under for the first time in 20 years. Our contributors are from England and Australia which should make for some spiky debates about the relative merits of the events as they unfold.

morale swings our way
If the Aussies lose a few wickets on the final afternoon, I would think the England and South Africa team would claim to have the morale in their favour. Personally, I hope England bat on for as long as possible giving the Aussies a dismal final day moping around the Gabba like bored chimps in a zoo. The Aussie bowling looked a bit limp last night - how rubbish is Mitchell Johnson? He looks like a potato chucker. Where was the 'intimidating atmosphere' that we are used to from your fans? Can the Australian crowd not get behind their own team?

Hey Dave,
Mitchell Johnson bowled poorly in the 1st Innings, batted poorly in the 1st Innings, bowled poorly in the 2nd Innings, fielded poorly in the 2nd Innings. What more can you say. He has to be dropped.
Glen McGrath has said to him recently that the difference between his good & bad need to be minimised and right now he cannot do this.
I have no doubt England have the edge here leading into Adelaide. The Australian side is far from settled and this is a huge problem.
D Bollinger will come into the side and I think they need to look at P Hughes or C White.
Your boy Swan has been a slight anti climax so far......so hope this continues.
