The betting market has swung quite a lot already, with the draw now odds on favourite and England's odds lengthening.

What are the England win odds the Bozza?

Still fancy Swanny to get amongst them

 

[Lord Bracknell]

92-0 at lunch

 

[Bozza]

Graeme Swann a best-priced 33-1 for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Worth a nibble in the hope he skittles the Aussies out and raises his profile massively just before the event?

Need to bowl full and straight?

As I type...

Draw - 5/7
England - 7/5
Aus - 180/1

...it's been a big swing though, the draw/England odds were pretty much the other way round at the time of the declaration.

i agree mcShane in the 79th

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Glad to see them going around the wkt to Katich, feel hes more vunerable there

You can see the rain approaching here...
