The Old Grey Trafford Test

They don't make cricket balls like they used to. Only seven days after Glenn McGrath trod on one in pre-match training at Edgbaston, he is back in action for Australia in the Third Test at Old Trafford. Brett Lee has also had a miracle cure, so there's no room for (a) Mike Kasprowicz (b) Shaun Tait (c) Stuart Clark (d) Stuart MacGill (e) all of the above.

Michael Vaughan won the toss and elected to bat. Half an hour into the first session, England are 19 without loss. The burning question of the day is: who will be Warnie's Number 600?

Live audio, as usual, at BBC Five Live Extra. Anand Vasu's ball-by-ball text commentary at CricInfo, while The Cricket Site also has bbb text descriptions. James Dart is at the OBO desk for The Guardian. Among blogs, Prem Panicker's Sightscreen has clocked up 21 comments for Day One already. Corridor of Uncertainty is up to 17 comments, and Will still can't spell "beleive" :-)
