      Day 1 Rain and bad light interruptions extend play to 7.10pm. Dean Headley warned for running on the pitch.

      Day 2 Steve Waugh's 13th Test century, his fourth against England and his first at Old Trafford.

      Day 3 When Warne dismised Caddick he had his 249th Test wicket, thereby overtaking Richie Benaud as the most successful leg-spin bowler in Test history. (At 249 he is the 3rd most successful Test bowler for Australia and equal 18th overall).

      Day 4 Steve Waugh's 14th Test century. The first instance of twin centuries in a Test by an Australian since DM Jones (v Pakistan, Adelaide 1989-90); the first instance in an Australia-England test since both AR Morris and DCS Compton (Adelaide, 1946-47). The 45th instance of twin centuries in all Test matches.
