Australia - their average upper order man has been making about 20 runs lower than usual, which counts for something.

Trescothick's done fine, Strauss and Vaughan both have Ashes centuries (and some single-figure nightmares) to their name, which only Ponting has in the Aussie batting order this series. Add in Flintoff's 102 and England have three out of four centuries.

England players have made 15 50s, Australia have made 10.

Englands batting top seven have all got at least one fifty and most of them have two or more (only Strauss and Jones have a single big score). Hayden hasn't got one, neither has Gilchrist, Martyn's got just one...

England have scored 400+ in an innings three times, Australia none (although they've got some very high second innings scores).
