Just over an hour to go until the start of the 5th and final 2009 Ashes series. We have to win this one.
Will we, england, go for 2 spinners? Who will make way for Fred? What condition is the pitch in? By close of play today we will have the answers to these questions. I feel we may well know the outcome of this test by tonight.
Update: 10:38

The team is;
Strauss
Cook
Bell
Collingwood
Trott
Flintoff
Prior
