Would clearly have preferred to be batting first but as Strauss says, if there is anything at all in the wicket then they need to take advantage of it early. My head tells me 100-0 at lunch, but am going for 93-2. with the first wicket being Watson early. 11-1. then 81-2 Ponting.

Your first session predictions please?

We're going to rip into them and have them 4 down by lunch for around 70 odd.

Come on then, just for fun. In what over will we take the first wicket? I reckon we're going to get an early one - 3rd over
