^ Most of the pundits think that this is England's test for the taking. Clarke's late dismissal changed things. Now the Oz tail is only 3 wickets away and the new ball is due to enter into service very soon in the morning session. Not many think that they have the batting line-up remaining to see this through. Unlike the Gabba, this wicket is deteriorating and there should be something on offer for the bowlers, especially the spinners (Pietersen, Swann) and Collingwood's cutters.
Odds are on for an England win.
