Match State: Match scheduled to start at 10.45am local time (9.45am gmt)
Good Morning cricket fans, we will have Australia and England today
playing in the 3rd match of the NatWest Series at Bristol, brought
to you by ECB.co.uk and www.cricinfo.com
Australia rampaged over Pakistan yesterday winning by 7 wickets
while England lost their first match against Pakistan by 108 runs
and will be going all out to put some points on the table
Yesterday the awesome batting display by Ponting and Co must surely
have sent signals to both England and Pakistan. Both teams will
need to dig deep to contain the Aussies on current form.
We'll see how England manage today with a rather depleted new ball
attack missing Caddick and in batting Owais Shah has replaced
injured Thorpe
