Not a bad day thanks to Warne.
McGrath and Lee didn't look like doing much, Tait looked OK, got some wicked reverse swing happening in the afternoon.
Normally you would say Australia are on top but who knows how they are going to bat, 350 or so could be enough.

Pretty good effort really. The Oval is a 400+ run a day ground. The pitch looks to be an absolute road.
