Australia 97-5 LUNCH
Well what a start to the 1st Test by the England bowlers!!
The Ashes certainly isn't won in the first morning but the Aussies will now know they are in a game
Keep going boys it's been a long wait for this
We arrive in Melbourne 25th August and will be watching the last 2 test matches in OZ so it would be great for the series to still be alive.
Come on England!!

And then Harmi hit Ponting on the helmet with a really fast ball which cut him below eye.
