Match State: Match start scheduled for 10.00 AEDT (23.00 GMT)
Good morning and welcome to the beautiful Bellerive oval, a
glorious day, with a forecast top temperature of 23.
Local heroe Ricky Ponting has won the toss and elected to bat.
This match takes on added significance following Australia's
performance against a rampant Sri Lanka on Thursday evening.
After Australia's defeat at the hands of a rejuvinated England in
the 5th Ashes test, a significantly improved performance is
expected by the sell out crowd here in Hobart.
The umpires and England teams have entered the arena, followed by
the Australian batsmen to a loud roar of approval
