Morning everyone,

so, 4th test, day 1.
Weather looks good today, as does the forecast for the rest of the match.
England have won the toss, and will bat first, which looks a good choice given that it's forecast to be sunny this afternoon, and will give Matty Prior more time to recover from the back spasm he suffered in the warm up.

In terms of yesterday's questions, we now know that:
Flintoff isn't fit, and that Harmison comes in as a straight replacement - so much for the theory that Trott would come in as England play defensively with an extra batsman - given the forecast, looks like this game could end in a result.
Brett Lee also doesn't play, but Stuart Clark is in, so Australia have no main spinner.

I have some bottles of Black Sheep chilling in the fridge, and the cricket has just started - hopefully we can hit lunch with England untroubled.
