Opening batsman Shane Watson was first to fall to Steven Finn for 13 in the fourth over before Finn instantly removed replacement Ed Cowan from play!

Tension is palpable… hat trick ball, Captain Clarke the new man in. Sails through… and Yes?! No. A vicious delivery eludes his bat by the finest of margins.

If England can hold onto this momentum and energy from their play and the ever-loudening crowd they may, just may, be able to make up for their substandard batting performance earlier today.
