The Ashes 2013 - 1st Test at Trent Bridge: Five talking points for Day 4

1. Australian Hopes

This Test match is no more in the balance now and the bottom-line is that England now need 4 wickets to win the first Ashes Test. Australia will have to do something very close to what they did in the first innings to turn that equation. The new ball will be due for England in another ten overs, though it remains to be seen if Alastair Cook opts for that in the circumstance of an early wicket. Brad Haddin has not been in particularly good form prior to the Ashes Test and he will have to play with the tail, and that is never easy. He has experience on his side and the promise of 19-year-old Ashton Agar for company. They can look back the Edgbaston Test of 2005 for some inspiration (although that effort was eventually in vain).
