At 7/502 at tea in Australia's first innings on the 4th day, it looks like the second Ashes test is going to peter out to a boring draw. England batted the life out of the game in the first two day's play, and it looks like Australia have gone out and replied with some tit for tat style batting. With one day and one session of play remaining, the only thing that could spice this match up is a couple of very quick sporting declarations.

I've heard a lot of complaints about the dull and lifeless pitch, but I'm no expert and when it all boils down to it, I'm just glad I didn't take time off work to fly to Adelaide and watch the game live!
