I reckon Pietersen will bat it out til 40 overs left then he'll start getting a bit uppish again...either way, he's due a big hundred, he's easily got the best 'touch' of the England batsmen. He's going to be on a Flintoff level or better with the bat very quickly.
Had to stop watching on the telly, the kids are home... got Five Live playing over the net though...
Been updating the boss man by email to his blackberry all day...

Another 20mins and I think we are there.
No fingernails left here!
We must be safe now - Pietersen on 152. Hope Giles can make his 50 too

How come Australia don't have a 2nd Innings?

They'll have a second innings if they get us out, but as we're coming to the end of the fifth day they won't have time to score more than us. We aren't going to win the match, we're playing for a draw.
How come we can't win the match if we're ahead and they've not got us out?

well, pietersen is out, i'm starting to relax after being on the edge of my seat all day!
Because Australia won't be all out. If there are wickets left at the end of the last day it's a draw.
Clear as mud..

If you bat 4th as Austrailia would, you have to score more runs to win, and the team fielding has to bowl you out to win - anything else is a draw
the cricket for beginners pages listed here ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric...nt/default.stm ) should clear some of your confusion up
What the funk !
'ave it.
Woooot
