Weather is showing as fine for tomorrow.

We just need to leave everything that isn't going to hit the stumps and still be in after 98 overs - no pressure - just keep Bell (end) off the field.

Once they've got the next wicket, I don't see us making any more than a further 40-50.

I've just finished a conversation with a colleague - consensus here is 5:45 (but only if it looks cloudy).

Set them a target of 240-260 and watch them try and bat every ball out of the park.

What an ending that would be.

What an interesting 'caption competition' that would be.

Edit: Great, that's the end of Collingwood.

Thumbs up

2 x 6's in a row from Pieterson. The Aussies are starting to fall apart now. Even Warne is starting to look resigned....

I'm feeling happy now. Whose going to be the first to say it????

I give it 30 minutes after close of play before Ponting resigns from international cricket/is sacked. Taking the bad light was a stupid choice.
