Looks like there’s some life in this wicket, with Mitchell Johnson again being our best bowler as EnZed are dismissed for 156. Proving the wicket was good for all the quicks Lee, Clark and Watson were all able to add 2 wickets to their career totals.

Regular wickets from the Baggy Greens choked the kiwi’s of any momentum, their highest partnership being 35 between Taylor (40) and Flynn (39*).

Daniel Flynn was still there at the end, which is likely what he was hoping for. How else would you explain taking a single off the first ball of a Stuart Clark over when super-bunny Chris Martin is at the other end?

The Aussies take a 58 run 1st innings lead and will look to improve on their first innings effort, and with more favourable conditions they certainly should. At this stage the low and slow scoring match looks typical of the Gabba this year, and will likely be over by day 3!

Tea’s been taken early in the innings break so we’ll be looking at a long third session. Perhaps we’ll go off if it starts to piss down again, unlike last night when Clarke was dismissed in the rain.

No heroics please Hayden and Katich – you both owe me from píss-poor scores in my fantasy league from the first innings.
