I really must do some work in a minute, but this is quality from Cricinfo:
End of over 99 (16 runs) England 402/8 GP Swann 30* (21b 5x4) NM Hauritz 20-1-79-1
JM Anderson 17* (28b 1x4) BW Hilfenhaus 24-5-63-2
That last shot had every England player on the balcony creasing up. It's no laughing matter for Australia, though - the 400 is up, and England are absolutely flying
98.6
Hauritz to Swann, FOUR, reverse-swept for four more! Brilliant from Swann, and Australia are beginning to lose the plot. That's England's 400 up too
98.5
Hauritz to Swann, FOUR, lifts this down the ground but mid-on will pick it up. Er, or not! Siddle's not picked it up and it goes for four - he only had two metres to move. The wheels are rapidly falling off
98.4
Hauritz to Swann, FOUR, down the pitch and Swann clouts him over mid-on for four. The fielder gives chase but drags it over the line - excellent, aggressive cricket

another one turns 18" from outside off stump... Swann and Panesar will be looking forward to bowling later!

England 435 all out.
Well batted by England's number 10 Graeme Swann 47*

as Lionel Richie once sang, "oh, what a feeeeeeeling, when Matthew Prior's keeping"
How did Hussain and Willis take the news that Prior caught a ball which led to a wicket after a pivotal half century with the bat?

A wicket is coming soon...

"Swimmingly" is the word. But here comes Monty, woohoo.
