Brandon, Kent, TMS inbox: "Tim Bresnan? How about rotund? Or just plain fat?"
You're a harsh man Brandon.

12 overs: Aus 42-2
Ponting moves to 29 with a controlled pull down to fine leg for a single, while Clarke turns his 24th delivery behind square for a single to move to four. Hardly swashbuckling, but a good indication of the favourable bowling conditions. Three more singles follow as TMS scorer Malcolm Ashton tells us this match is the 100th meeting between the two sides. Bit quiet out there, let's have some banter via the TMS inbox, text 81111 (with the word cricket before your message) or the 606 website.

11 overs: Aus 37-2
Bit of off-side filth from Anderson, pitching short and wide, giving Ponting the opportunity to free his arms and cut to point for four, beating the fruitless dive of the burly Tim Bresnan. What other adjectives apart from "burly" or "chunky" describe the Yorkshire terrier?

More tight lines from las Cebollas, as Onions would be known in Spain, restricting the veteran Aussie duo two just two singles. Plenty of lively movement, the sun is belting down and Tottenham are going to end Chelsea's winning start in the Premier League - what more could you want?

9 overs: Aus 30-2
I haven't seen so many shouldered arms from the Aussie batsmen since the last day of The Oval Test, which tells you how much the ball is singing on and off the pitch. Ponting unravels another picture-perfect drive through cover for four but it looks to be his last scoring shot as England go up for another huge appeal, only for umpire Asad Rauf to keep his right index finger firmly down by his side. Another fantastic decision as replays clearly show the ball brushed Ponting's front pad before thudding into Prior's gloves.

Another good over from Onions, using the assistance offered by the pitch to keep Clarke earnest. Two singles from the over, but absolutely nothing to clobber.

Paul Grunill, BBC Sport assistant editor, TMS inbox: "Last night I had a dream about this game which ended in controversy when Merv Hughes ran onto the outfield and punched one of the umpires. Should anything like that happen this afternoon I trust the ICC will issue a strongly worded statement of condemnation."
7 overs: Aus 24-2
Loose shot from Ponting, who sneaks a single with a miscued drive which ends up behind square off Anderson. Clarke gets off the mark with a tidy clip through mid-wicket for two but has his heart in his mouth a few balls later as the entire close field contingent go up for an almighty caught behind appeal, but umpire Rauf is once again unmoved. Replays suggest there was no contact with the edge.

Matthew Wright, TMS inbox: Two things here: One - why didn't we change the team earlier in the series? Two - why couldn't we do this earlier in the series?"
6 overs: Aus 21-2
New man Michael Clarke is dangling his rod outside off stump as Graham Onions works up a decent head of steam, completing a maiden as the Aussie vice-captain wisely eschews a quick single to Eoin Morgan at backward point.

Anderson drops another leg-side clanger, handing Punter another opportunity to glance off his pads for four. Good comeback from the Lancsman, rapping the Aussie captain on the pads offering no stroke as the ball nips back off the seam, but umpire Asad Rauf is not interested as the ball would've clearly sailed high over the bails.

More reasons to celebrate for Graham Onions, who has been named as the Beard Liberation Front's Hirsute Cricketer of Summer 2009. First winning the adulation of Lily Allen, now this. What's next? A seat on the cabinet?

Paine gets off the mark with a flowing off-drive, but is back in the hutch a few deliveries later, nibbling a fine delivery which holds its line around off stump. That's Onions' first one-day wicket too. He's been in sensational form for Durham, taking 45 wickets at an average of 15 in their County Championship defence. This is England we're watching in a one-day match, isn't it?
3 overs: Aus 12-1
Quality strokeplay from Ponting, pushing a high elbow drive through the covers before glancing a leg-side side delivery down beyond fine leg for four. My editor has just pointed out my horrid faux pas the over before - we all know Graham Onions is opening the bowling, rather than experimenting with the off-spin of Graeme Swann with the new cherry.

More encouraging swing for Graham Onions, making his first appearance in an England shirt since the Headingley fourth Test debacle. Ponting shoulders arms to two useful deliveries before punching an attractive stroke through point for three.

Punter shuffles to the crease and squirts the first run of the day past gully down to third man. The overhead conditions suggest England's seamers should be licking their lips like a cat who has just got the job of nocturnal security at the national cream convention at Earl's Court.

Beauty first up from Anderson, nibbling off the pitch and whizzing past the edge of Watson's hefty blade. But he's gone two balls later to a similar delivery, edging straight into the hands of Graeme Swann stationed at first slip. Ring the bells!
1014: Wispy white clouds decorate a cobalt-blue sky as Shane Watson and the seriously impressive Tim Paine walk out just behind England's fielders. James Anderson to bowl the first over of the day.

1004: Morning you. Yes, it's almost finished. England have won the toss and will field first at the Riverside. A few changes to tell you about - Graham Onions will make his one-day debut on his home ground while Durham team-mate Paul Collingwood returns. Out go Ryan Sidebottom and Dimitri Mascarenhas. Meanwhile, Ben Hilfenhaus will make his first appearance in an Australia shirt for a month, with Nathan Bracken making way. Michael Clarke and Mitchell Johnson also return, with Callum Ferguson and Peter Siddle sat on the balcony.
