Australia declare on 527-7

Australia's remarkable Ashes fightback left England staring at a first innings total of 527 for seven on Friday and the loss of two late wickets on day two of the third test made the task look even more imposing.
"Bresnan heard a noise so he obviously thought he hit it,"
"Australia are in a good position, I don't know if they are in an ideal position to win a test match as we have only lost two wickets in our first innings. The fact Cook is still there is good for us as he is due a big score."
