| England won the toss and will bat | |||
| Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 2nd "3 Series Mobile" Ashes Test match between Australia and England from the Adelaide Oval. This is the second match of the series, with Australia holding a 1-0 lead courtesy of a 277-run mauling at Brisbane last week. | |||
| England secured their first Ashes success in 18 years back in 2005, when the home series was won 2-1 but England have not won a series on Australian soil since the hugely successful 1986/87 series, captained by Mike Gatting. | |||
| Once again, the make up of the two teams has had tongue's wagging with Australia naming the same fit 13-man squad for this game. Shane Watson was ruled out again. However, the home side do have a slight injury worry over paceman Glenn McGrath, who was troubled by a bruised heal during England's second innings. It is thought that he will play therefore allowing Australia to play the same side - Mitchell Johnson and Shaun Tait both missing out again. | |||
| The talk is that England will play two spinners, therefore giving Monty Panesar his delayed bow while the selection of the seam bowlers remains to be seen with Sajid Mahmood pushing for a call-up. Stephen Harmison will play, even though he looks to be struggling with form. | |||
| This will be the 313th time these sides have met, with Australia coming out on top in 127, England 97 and there have been 88 draws. The record at Adelaide will buoy English hearts, as Australia hold a 15-8 lead on this ground, with only 5 games drawn. | |||
| This is the 65th Test match to be played at this famous old ground, the home side winning 32 and the visitors half of that tally. 16 games have been drawn. | |||
| The first ever Test match between the sides was the first ever Test match played - at Melbourne in 1877, where Australia succeeded by 45 runs. The first ever Test at the Adelaide Oval was way back in December 1884, when England won by 8 wickets. | |||
| The best bowling performance for Australia in these games is 9-121 by Arthur Mailey in Melbourne in 1920-21 season while the great Jim Laker's outstanding 10-53 is still the best by an Englishman. | |||
| Milestones to look out for during the match: Shane Warne requires 25 runs for 3,000 runs (while he continues to hold the record for the most Test runs without scoring a century), Damien Martyn needs just 1 run for 2,000 in home Tests and Ricky Ponting needs a century to become the leading Australia century maker. | |||
| Steve Bucknor from the West Indies and South African Rudi Koertzen take charge of this match while SJ Davis is the TV umpire and Jeff Crowe continues in his role as match referee. | |||
| Australia team: ML Hayden, JL Langer, RT Ponting, DR Martyn, MEK Hussey, MJ Clarke, AC Gilchrist, SK Warne, B Lee, SR Clark, GD McGrath | |||
| England team: AJ Strauss, AN Cook, IR Bell, PD Collingwood, KP Pietersen, A Flintoff, GO Jones, AF Giles, MJ Hoggard, SJ Harmison, JM Anderson | |||
