Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11.00 AEDT (00.00 GMT)
Welcome to the first day's play of this fifth and final Ashes Test
from the Sydney Cricket Ground
Australia hold a 4-0 lead in this series, and are looking to become
only the second side to complete five wins in a five Test Ashes
series
Steve Waugh will be playing his 156th Test, equalling Allan
Border's record for most matches, and much of the build up has
focussed on whether or not this will be his last Test
The home side have made one forced change, Andy Bichel gets another
chance coming in for the injured McGrath
And two changes for England, Alec Stewart resumes his wicket-
keeping role after Foster kept in Melbourme, and injured all-
rounder Craig White has been replaced by a specialist fast bowler
in Matthew Hoggard
The umpires and players are now out on the field, the biggest
applause coming unsurprisingly for the Australian fielders

And that completes the day's play, England finishing with the upper
hand
The highlight of the day being Butcher's marvellous century, and
the fine supporting innings played by his captain Nasser Hussain
Gillespie and Lee were the best of the bowlers, Lee looking
especially deadly with each of the new balls - taking one wicket
with each - but perhaps slackened off a little at other times
Whilst Gillespie was his usual consistent self, keeping it tight
and applying pressure to the batsmen on what was not the most
frendliest of wickets for the bowlers
Play resumes at 11.00am local time tomorrow
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
Welcome to the second day's play of this fifth and final Ashes Test
from the Sydney Cricket Ground
England will resume their innings this morning in a healthy
position
The first session will be a crucial one in terms of how the match
takes shape
More resolute batting from England could see them in a position
from which they are unlikley to lose
But anything less could see them end up with another sizeable first
innings deficit
Applause follows the players' entrance out onto the ground

Steve Waugh gets a standing ovation leaving the playing field
Well what a day, an absolute fairy tale innings from Steve Waugh in
what was mooted to be his last Test
Adam Gilchrist also trying his best to steal the show late in the
day
Australa looked to be in a fair amount of trouble at three for 56,
and again at 5 for 150, but now with a deficit of 125 with five
wickets still in hand, one would think this match is now evenly
poised
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Welcome to the third day's play of what's proving to be an
enthralling test match
Steve Waugh's century - career saving one perhaps - from the last
ball of yesterday's play has certainly been a big highlight
His partner Adam Gilchrist also playing some cracking shots late
yesterday
One senses that the balance of this match will be dependant upon
the current partnership
An early wicket should see England on their way to a decent first
innings lead
But if this partnership continues on at the pace its going,
Australia could really start to assert some authority over their
opponent
The players make their way out onto the field, a predictable big
ovation for the Australian captain
The Australian players wearing black armbands, as a mark of respect
for the recently deceased former team manager John Edwards
51.1 Caddick to Gilchrist, no run, back, defending

Again the field is spread to all parts of the ground
70.1 Caddick to Gilchrist, one run, driven from the crease along the

AC Gilchrist 127* (116b 17x4) JN Gillespie 11* (72b 1x4)
That completes the morning session
England taking the ascendancy early with the removal of crowd hero
Steve Waugh, and the further dismissals of Bichel and Lee in
successive deleveries, Hoggard taking all three wickets to fall
However that good start has been frittered away with some rather
unimagination captaincy from Hussain, persisting with this tactic
of applying zero pressure to Gilchrist, allowing him easy runs
Whilst Gillespie has been quite composed in handling the defensive
stuff, their partnership now worth 69 runs

A bit of a fight back there by Australia, taking four wickets in

themselves chasing less than 400
However the pitch did more in that session than its done throughout
the match, which may worry the Australians for when they bat last
on this deck

And that is stumps
England holding the aces at the moment, but with this attacking
style Australia play, who knows how it will pan out?
An exciting fifth day awaits us
Match State: Stumps - Day 4
Welcome to the fifth and finals days play from the fifth and final
Test of the series
We enter the last day with any result possible
England firmly in control at the moment, requiring only a further
seven wickets for victory
Which would seem a much easier task than getting the further 363
runs Australia require for victory
Keeping the seven wickets in tact to force a draw may be the more
realistic way for Australia to deny England victory
The pitch still looks pretty good for batting, but it did start to
liven up yesterday, it remains to be seen how it will play today
A nice sunny day here at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which should
allow for a full day's play, if necessary
