Live on Skysports 1: Mon 23.30: England are in a great position to win the 2nd Test; the tourists are now 7/4 (Totesport).
England, powered by Kevin Pietersen, hit 620 for 5 before declaring and chipping Australia down to 238 for 3. As rain began to interrupt play, Kevin Pietersen, not content with just a double ton, took the vital wicket of Michael Clarke to leave Australia on 238 for 4, 137 runs behind and 250/1 with Sportingbet.
Weather forecasts vary but many agree some rain is on the way, the draw now the 19/20 (Boylesports) fav outcome. A draw would be a massive blow for England psychologically and must work hard with the new ball first thing to steadily take the remaining 6 wickets.
England are 10/11 (Coral) favs to win the series while Ladbrokes have pushed Australia right out to 3/1.
