Australia won the toss and batted, and they're currently 243-9 with 1 over to go. Chris Woakes taken a 6-for, only the 2nd England bowler to achieve that after Colly.

249 all out.

michael clarke was booed on the way in to bat by the gabba crowd.

250 'should' be a very achievable total as long as the middle order put some effort in...

22/3 oh dear

Has there ever been a more effeminate fast bowler than Brett Lee though, with his stupid jump.

they certainly will.... very good bowling from lee but ordinary shot selection from england again.

i was talking lee up in the pub on friday, saying how important he was to this side and how well he'd done since getting back in the team and an aussie bloke laughed at me...

He still looks like their best ODI bowler to me, handy lower order batsman and an excellent fielder aswell.

KP is due a big ODI innings, could do with it today, didn't realise how alarmingly his average in 50 over games has dropped.

Gower is going mental with Smith here like.

Rightly so too, refreshing to here a commentator not afraid to upset the apple cart.

Blatant cheating. Gerrin Gower lad

i really fail to understand pietersen....

we don't need to lose wickets, we don't need to score at more than we are/were and he's facing a bowler using a change of pace (event the ball before)...

yet the goes and tries to knock the skin off a ball and was totally undone for pace...
