			Aussies declare on 527 for 7.  My thinking on that is the Aussies will be looking to get a couple of wickets tonight to put pressure on England.  I think Cook needs to work on at least 2 plans for a Test, this has been a shambles so far this Test.

			Put it this way, I think by Monday evening it will be 2-1 to England in the series.  On the one hand, it is not good because it shows flaws in the England captaincy by only having one plan.  On the other hand, I think it would be good because it makes the series a bit more interesting.  As long as England win the fourth Test I'll be happy.  Won't be happy if it goes down to the last Test though.
