Ricky Ponting won the toss and put England into bat. England was all attack from the start, keeping the run rate over 4 and finshing their innings with more than 5.
It was great display of batting by Trescothick, Pietersen and Flintoff. With McGrath missing, Trescothick and Strauss attacked the aussie bowlers and scored boundaries at will, scoring 112 for the first wicket.
Flintoff in partnership with Pietersen plundered the Aussie bowlers to all parts of the ground, scoring 103 in quick time.
Lee and Warne went for over 100 runs in their spells. Warne picked up 4 wickets. Kasprowicz the replacement for McGrath picked up 3 wickets.
England were all out for 407. Australia had to play for 20 minutes, but bad light and rain stopped play.
