With the first sniff of a major England team trophy in any event for years, even people who've never followed cricket before are getting behind the England team.
I hope we get enough goals
Seriously though, all out for 373 is not a great start, and too early in the second day to be on target for a draw... time for England fans to start the rain dance, as a draw will be enough.
With the Aussies now standing at 112 not out (stopped for bad light), the scoring looks bad for an England win, but the timing is looking better for a draw.
In the 4th day's progress, the Aussies are continuing their first innings, currently standing at 338 for 5, after being at 277 for 2 overnight.
Looking even more set for the draw that England need, and the only "man of the match" for England will be the WEATHERMAN!
... In other sporting news (F1), Renault's Fernando Alonso could secure the driver's trophy this weekend, if he can finish with 4 points more than McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen.
The team trophy is still wide open between those two teams, and looks like going dow to the wire - the only real excitement in a season notable only for for excessive rule changes, problems with the whole race tyres, and of course, the Indianapolis fiasco!
It's time the teams got together, kicked out the current F1 authorities, and raced under rules that promote safety and entertain the fans.
