The War: Game 1, Day 3

Well it should be just about all over by now. Had Australia enforced the follow-on, England would be several wickets down and still several hundred runs behind. As it is, Langer and Ponting are getting some batting practice and entertaining the crowd. Presumably serious play will resume some time tomorrow.

The one thing this does do is stop the English media complaining that they lost because of the pitch. Batting looks as easy now as it did at the start of day one.
