- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 good catch by Bopara running round at midwicket. Watson hurried by a shorter ball as he tried to pull it on the front foot over midwicket, wellying it high in the air and Bopara makes good ground to his left 35/18.1 got him! A slower ball just outside leg, so I thought, and he went for a big smash over midwicket and up goes the finger. A touch unlucky for Warner as that probably pitched just outside leg 54/28.3 swings and misses and Prior whips off the bails! Terrific cricket from England and Prior. He was so, so quick there. Awful shot from Hussey, coming charging down the pitch and missing by miles 54/318.1 but he's got him this time, angling it across the right-hander who leans back while driving as Collingwood leaps high to his left at mid-off 132/4Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL145/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Shane Watson, 5.1 ov), 2-54 (David Warner, 8.1 ov), 3-54 (David Hussey, 8.3 ov), 4-132 (Cameron White, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 horrible shot from Bopara and he's caught at first slip! Short, outside off and Bopara flashes, trying to uppercut it over the slips, but he's beaten for pace and Watson swallows it 4/20.3 brilliant, frightening delivery! A vicious bouncer and Denly did well to get bat on it, attempting a pull and top-edging it to short square-leg who holds an easy catch.

Australia there for the taking
While it is known that Australia are not the world-dominant force they once were, England's cricketers and supporters might be surprised - and relieved - to see just how mortal their Ashes rivals are, writes Scyld Berry in the Sunday Telegraph .
