1045: Quick quote from Graeme Swann for you: "Edgbaston is always the loudest of the grounds to play at. It's nice that they're here because it's like having a 12th man. Certainly from outside off stump there's some turn for me."
From M in Ipswich, TMS inbox: "I thought it was only me that made up traffic light/other odd sport-related scenarios. I'm clearly not as mad as I thought. This weekend I played the game of how many clothes pegs can I throw into basket when getting the washing in. The clothes pegs predicted an England victory by six wickets."
From Driver of the White Van, TMS inbox: "Drive to the stadium was pretty mundane; to spice things up thought I if could mow down the cyclist ahead, England would do the same to Aussies. Darn - missed by a whisker..."
1035: The forecast? Nerves, grinding tension, inability to do anything else but watch. What's that - you meant the weather? Decent. Only a 20% chance of rain; some cloud cover, a touch of occasional sunshine.
1028: Maybe the van driver was on the blower to his bookie. If he had been, the odds he'd have been quoted would be draw 1/4, England win 11/4, Aussie win 50/1.
From BBC Sport's Oliver Brett at Edgbaston: "Blue skies earlier in the morning have quickly given away to a generous helping of cloud cover that might help create those swing conditions that worked so well for England on the second morning. My hunch, though, is that it might need to get a bit warmer for the ball to really hoop about."
1020: On the cycle in this morning, I played a quick game of Traffic Light Oracle. You know the one - as you approach a green light, you give yourself a scenario; if the light is still green when you get to it, that scenario will come true. On the basis of that journey, I can confirm that the following will happen today: Australia will be all out for a lead of 120, England will have 20 overs to knock them off and that bloke in the white van wants to get off his mobile phone and look where he's going.
