Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11.00 AEDT (00.00 GMT)

       Welcome to the first day's play of this fifth and final Ashes Test
        from the Sydney Cricket Ground
       Australia hold a 4-0 lead in this series, and are looking to become
        only the second side to complete five wins in a five Test Ashes
        series
       Steve Waugh will be playing his 156th Test, equalling Allan
        Border's record for most matches, and much of the build up has
        focussed on whether or not this will be his last Test
       The home side have made one forced change, Andy Bichel gets another
        chance coming in for the injured McGrath
       And two changes for England, Alec Stewart resumes his wicket-
        keeping role after Foster kept in Melbourme, and injured all-
        rounder Craig White has been replaced by a specialist fast bowler
        in Matthew Hoggard
       The umpires and players are now out on the field, the biggest
        applause coming unsurprisingly for the Australian fielders

       And that completes the day's play, England finishing with the upper
        hand
       The highlight of the day being Butcher's marvellous century, and
        the fine supporting innings played by his captain Nasser Hussain
       Gillespie and Lee were the best of the bowlers, Lee looking
        especially deadly with each of the new balls - taking one wicket
        with each - but perhaps slackened off a little at other times
       Whilst Gillespie was his usual consistent self, keeping it tight
        and applying pressure to the batsmen on what was not the most
        frendliest of wickets for the bowlers
       Play resumes at 11.00am local time tomorrow

Match State: Stumps - Day 1

       Welcome to the second day's play of this fifth and final Ashes Test
        from the Sydney Cricket Ground
       England will resume their innings this morning in a healthy
        position
       The first session will be a crucial one in terms of how the match
        takes shape
       More resolute batting from England could see them in a position
        from which they are unlikley to lose
       But anything less could see them end up with another sizeable first
        innings deficit
       Applause follows the players' entrance out onto the ground
       Gillespie to continue his spell from last night, three slips, two
        gullies, point, mid off, mid on and long leg in place
